Park IT!

 Been walking more, probably since it won't be long until the weather isn't as pleasant as Right NOW!

 getting ready for our walk

This last week was pretty cold like 47 but I bundle her up so good she will sleep for an hour

 Loves the duckies

 Bundled some more

 Beautiful day for a walk

Very appreciative for simple things

like nice weather

 She crossed her feet in the middle of it. She was happy as a clam when she woke up!

 Love Idaho!...Western Idaho!

Cheeks

This was August 23rd

what happened in 2 months

want my chunky babe back (sigh)

Costume times

 Pretty scary when you see a tiger tail on your stairs!

 Eeeek ... It's just tiger lily!

Then the fairylisious Tinkerbell costume

 Uh...not in a 'fairy'good mood

haha I crack myself up

She walked on her own for the trunk or treat

even knew what the sucker was for

 And what do fairies do best...

This angry bird was nice to all the little piglets wanting candy

I'm on a roll tonight!

oh and the other costume of the month

the bumble bee

Brown house Blue door!

 I'm ambitious but painting the whole house seems a little out of reach right now...

So I will paint the door!

The poop brown house now has a door that says "Alyssa Lives here"!

Luke's reply "I don't not like it" (making fun of me and my double negative sentences)

 A little scared at 11 am 

but beautiful at 5pm

And what's a post without a picture of the lilster!

My walking buddy

One...

One more morning
One more bath
One more diaper
One year officially over (sobbing noises)

Lily turned OnE !
Where did the time go?
Even knowing time would go fast didn't seem to slow it down. Not.A. Bit.
Here are some of the highlights during her first big day!

 Good morning birthday girl

 after a good breakfrast , you must be grateful for the 3 B's

Black Bra

Baby

Binky

yeah...sounds like most mornings :)

 in keeping with the B's lily sported one of her many costumes

Bumble bee

 Looks like that little bee was worn out by church

Got to LOVE a baby sleeping in church!

 by that I mean I will usually end up in other places the masses are not

like hanging out with the wild one in the lounge

 Stopping for an intentional picture

want to make sure Lily knows I was there

 I had the camera on the wrong setting

hence the flash photography facial expressions

 stairs are her new favorite toy 

as long as she makes it down without kissing the floor

 Ahhh.... the baking

I made up for using the instant cake mix by making my own frosting

come on be realistic. I won't judge you if you don't judge me :)

 Pink and ORange, it's October so we slid in the black too(with some zebra)!

 Sorry for the flash Lily

 dimpled knuckles...sweeter than frosting :(

 yeah I put that on your head

and you noticed

.....of course

 likes the binky, for some reason now

 as well as her new found hidding spot

stealthy girl

I did find my phone in there once

 how many costumes again?

our Tiger Lily!

 All in a one year olds day!

Awesome day, here are some awesome things about awesome lilster
she is 31 inches and 23 lbs.
she loves to chase after the neighbors cat and points to the dogs on walks
she loves going up the stairs
gets excited when the xbox comes on or when the screen goes red(uhummm I don't netflix much)
she loves to help mom and follows me everywhere unloads the dishwasher goes through the refrigerator
likes to brush my hair
puts the phone to her ear and mutters something along the lines of hello
when I say go bye-bye she puts her fingers in a fist and strait again
sleeps for 10-12 hrs at night...my kinda girl
and a joy!
