Happy Independence Day!
We had a fun-filled day with Auntie arriving! We went to a movie and saw "Finding Dory" Lily is now banned from the movie theater for a long, long, long time. First she dumped water all over my lap. Then she dumped water all over the person sitting in front of us by pulling the bottle over. So I moved the bottle to the other side of me and she dumped water all over the person sitting in front of us on the other side by kicking the bottle over. Then she got chocolate all over the place and proceeded to climb all over me giving me some very sticky chocolate kisses. She wanted her bottle but that had been thrown on the floor and whenever I gave her her binki, she would spit it out and try to throw it too. She wanted to jump and play and not watch the movie. She drove me crazy! I thought that movie would never end...and of course, whenever the movie got quiet she got loud. She's discovered this noise she makes in her throat that sounds like she's hyperventilating. She must really like the noise because she does it a lot and it makes everybody around her very nervous even though there's nothing wrong with her. That noise going on in a movie theater gets a lot of looks! yes, banned! Banned from the movie theater for a long long long time!

I think Heavenly Father must give us really good days or even moments to prepare us for what's ahead. We had a really good long weekend but then Tuesday hit. We went ice skating with auntie and while we were there Emmy fell and split her eyebrow open. Seven stitches (three inside and four outside). Then today my car broke on our way to take Auntie to the airport. My dials and lights were going crazy and my gas petal was delayed. We ended up at the dealer which is on our way out of town instead of going to the airport. The freeway just felt like a bad idea... now we are sitting at the dealer, stranded. They are out of loaners and they don't have any rentals big enough for my family. Luckily Jeremy was in a position to come take Auntie to the airport (he was faster arriving than a taxi) and will soon be back for us. I have a sinking feeling that he's going to insist that we replace the van now and get a vehicle for him that holds all of us. I'm never going to be able to redo the outside of the house...

Just got back from an escape from the kiddos. Jeremy and I went to celebrate our anniversary a couple weeks early. We went shopping at the mall, had dinner at The Roof, and caught a movie watching the new Tarzan. I missed a Lily a lot. But it was really nice to get away and have some fun with my hubby.

Visiting GG today! we love GG!! She's such a great person. It's our first time back since the funeral though and it does feel strange to not have GP in his chair. GG is a tough woman and is keeping herself busy but you can tell she misses him. We all do.

Lily finally has teeth!! She got her first tooth at 10 months and 10 days old--the bottom, left, front incisor. The second tooth came 10 days later (10 months, 20 days) but it caught us off guard. It's the top, left, second-to-front incisor! I hope she gets more teeth soon or she will have one silly looking smile...
Crawling. This child doesn't crawl on her hands and knees. Instead she kind of army crawls... but not even. She used to look like an aligator, with her arms and one leg moving quickly in sync, dragging her left leg behind her as if it were her tail, belly sliding along the floor. But now. Now, it reminds me more of a seal out of water. She throws both her arms forward and, using both arms and her right foot (left leg is still just a long for the ride), she propels herself forward with a kind of plop. It's a very fast movement--this girl is quick!--but still very humorous to watch. She will get up on all hands and knees and rock as if she plans to crawl. She gets into a bear crawl position, but usually that is so she can pull herself up to climb or stand or to tuck one leg under and sit. It's as if this little girl is insistent that she is her own person. She won't be caught doing things normally. And I love her all the more for it. :)
An inch-worm crawl...
