New shoes and the park...

A few weeks back i was at Target and i spotted these tennis shoes for Lily. I showed them to her and tried them on, and she seemed very pleased with herself! :) She seems to think that she is very cool when she wears them, so that night we thought we could go to the park (The Groove) and play for awhile. Here are some pictures of our park fun.

Her new shoes...aren't they so cute?!


Walking to the swings with daddy...




Time to play on the swings! this is by far her favorite part of going to the park to play!



A quick picture with mom...this is a rare thing, as i am the one always taking the pictures!

Time to go home...we will come back a different day!

Where does the time go?!

Okay so i will confess that i have beena HUGE slacker on this whole blog thing. I'm not even going to try to make up for the lost time...i will just start now and hopefully do a better job at updating :)

We celebrated lily's birthday last week...i honestly can not believe that a WHOLE year has passed since she was born. I have loved and cherrished every since moment that we have been blessed to have her in our lives and i look forward to so many more years.
Here she is just hours old....

And here she is one year later...


I miss her being little, just having her lay in my arms and sleep :) but she is such a riot and so much fun now that i wouldn't trade it for the world. She is a very happy and content little girl so it makes loving this stage a bit more easier :) She took a few steps yesterday, but still prefers to crawl around at lightning speed. She is saying more and more words all the time. She can currently say: mama, dada, dog, cat, hot, nigh-night, thank you, yes, she can quack like a duck, moo like a cow, and bark like a dog. She is eatting most "big kid" foods, and still gets bottles. She goes to the doctor Friday, so i'm assuming she will start drinking MILK and no more formula then. We will see!

Here are some pictures from the Koning birthday party...we are having a party with the Wiersema's this comuing weekend.

Walking

Lily has finally decided to walk unassisted....i did have to brib her with a peanut butter cup :) but she still was walking. She would take 10-15 steps at a time...what a smartie pants.
