Party Pictures...

So I had promised pictures from the Birthday Party that we had for the girls at my mom's house. Everyone had a great time. So many friends came and brought their kids also.

Go Go Lillian Grace

Wahooooo! I am so happy... Lily has finally figured out how to PULL HERSELF UP TO STANDING... I am such a happy mommy. She hasn't exactly figured out the getting herself down part yet and gets stuck easily...but that will come. But I have to admit I was worried big time over this.. I kept comparing her to Anna (I know I know I shouldn't be comparing them at all). Anna has done so many things early.. she crawled first, she pulled herself up first and figured out how to get back down without being stuck.

What I think is truly amazing though is that Lily is quickly trying to take steps... not on her own.. way too early for that. But she will walk herself forward if you hold her hands. Anna will take steps also but she was more hesitant to take those first little steps so soon after figuring out how to pull herself up. So now the official race is on as to who will be the first to walk completely on their own. I have a feeling that trying to reach a kitty will be part of that equation.

That reminds me... Lily is obsessed with the cats. Since we've been on the 3rd floor she is constantly crawling after the cats. Nora especially. Poor Nora. Squirt on the other hand is safe for now though I have to admit that Squirt is really loving sitting near Lily's highchair at meals. We've been recently worried about Squirt's weight and lack there of lately. Then Squirt figured out that Lily drops her food quite a bit. So Squirt now loves to sit and wait for Lily to drop her some food. We're trying to stop this behavior (Lily dropping the food) but at the same time are happy that Squirt might gain some weight from eating what Lily drops.
