Forward motion

I hesitate to call this crawling, but we definitely have forward motion now!



As for pushing her toy like this, she's been doing it for a few weeks but I never got it on video until now. She is only 6 months old, I can't believe she can do this. Crazy!



We are so proud of this push toy find. We'd been looking for one of these and then Corey spied this one at a yard sale in the "free section". After a good scrubbing, it was good as new! She loves it, as you can see. She looks so proud when she pushes it all by herself. Corey is excited too, as he thinks this is the first step to having someone else mow the lawn ;)

The 'stache

It doesn't take much to amuse us. We bought this out of one of those bubble gum machines outside of Walmart. Of course, we all had to try it on.

New nephew

This little guy is Hunter and he is the son of my very favorite (and only) brother Zack. The little man was born last Monday and is doing well. He is amazing my brother with what we will call "urination acrobatics". Older sister Lexi is adjusting well to siblinghood.

This makes cousin #3 born within a year of Lily. How much fun she will have!

Stirring up trouble

Almost forgot

I also neglected to mention two other big events. One is that Lily has left the pumpkin seat in the dust and moved on to big-girl car seats. She was pushing the weight limit, so it was definitely time. For some reason I haven't taken a photo of her in it yet. She actually got two, one for mommy's car and one for daddy's truck (too much of a pain to move in and out each day).

Also, she rode in the grocery cart for the first time today. It made me all teary because it means she is getting big and I want her to stay a baby forever. Okay, so maybe not really, but she is growing up WAY too fast.

Things I love

The other day I was getting ready to vacuum so Corey decided to take Lily outside to avoid the noise. They looked so cute as they left, I secretly snapped these shots through the windows as they made their way to the mailbox, to check the chickens, and to walk out into the field. I love their sweet relationship.

She's my little, little scoot

So far she can only scoot in one direction: backwards. That doesn't seem to slow her down much, though.
