Fun in the Sun!

WOW!! What a long and fun day we have had today! We decided to take Miss Hollywood to the pool today since it was so nice outside! She had an absolute ball! We spent a few hours out at the pool then came home showered and went out to dinner with all of our friends.. LA did great seeing as she only slept for about 30 minutes at the pool..Needless to say that by the time we got home from our almost 2 1/2 hour dinner she was pooped!! She just loves the water..Let's hope it stays that way!

She was ready for a nap at this point!

She loves it when her Daddy throws her in the air!!

Splashing around!

Swimming in her boat!

This is my favorite! Story time!!

"I'm ready to go swimming now!!"

Out cold after swimming!!(Don't you just love the onesie!!)

Funny Commercials!!

I came across this video and it's soooo funny..I just had to share!! LOL!! I was looking for a commercial that Jacob and I were laughing at earlier..So I decided to share both!!




One more of my favorites.. I laugh everytime!!

Lily Ann laughing in the bath!

I took this video of LA last night while giving her a bath! Don't mind my crazy laugh on the other end!! LOL!! The things we do to get our babies to laugh!! She was cracking up but her face looks like she wasn't so sure!! Too funny!

What a "Healthy" little girl!

So we took LA to her 6 month check up and shots on Monday. It seems that our little girl is very healthy! LOL!! She's 26 inches and weighs in at a whopping 19lbs and 14oz. I knew that she was getting big but didn't realize how big she really was..LOL!! She is at the top of the charts for her weight and we were told once again that we were over feeding her! When she was first born we were over feeding her then we were under feeding her and now it seems that we are over feeding her again!! HAHAHA!! She was getting 4-8oz bottles a day, rice cereal for breakfast, 1 jar of fruit for lunch and 1 jar of vegetables for dinner.. We were over feeding her with formula and not feeding her enough food.. Go figure.. So now she is getting 4-6oz bottles a day, rice cereal for breakfast, half a jar of fruit, vegetables, and meats (which she hates) for lunch and dinner! Jacob says no wonder she doesn't want to crawl she can't get her belly up off the floor she's going to have to roll everywhere...HAHAHA!! So the doctor wants her to maintain her weight for the next few months.. It seems that everyone in the household is on a diet except the dog..

LA has always done great at the doctors especially when getting her shots. In the past she has always just gave a little whimper when getting the shots and then goes back to being a happy baby.. Well that was not the case this time.. She cried the whole time when the doctor was giving her the exam, ears, tummy, mouth, etc. and then when the nurse came in for her shots LA made it known that she was not happy! She started off great. Jacob and I on either side of her holding her little hands.. The nurse gave her the oral medicine first. She was taking it like a champ and then realized that it was the nurse and not her mom or dad and then freaked out!! Then it was time for the shots.. One in one leg and two in the other.. OMG!! I have never seen my daughter hold her breathe (I think she may have broke a world record!) and when she finally took her breathe the big crocodile tears were flowing followed by agonizing screams.. Jacob and I both had tears in our eyes because we have never seen her that upset.. Ugghhh it just broke our hearts.. As soon as the third shot was given I picked her up to comfort her.. She stopped crying for a second and then whipped her head around and looked at the nurse glared those piercing blue eyes at her as if to say "what did you do to me?" We all started laughing and the nurse told her she was sorry and she glared again and then starting screaming all over again.. The nurse then walked back over to the computer and LA did she same thing again.. We laughed again through the screams.. I couldn't get her to settle down so Jacob took her and within 5 seconds she was calm.. I guess she just needed her Daddy's big arms to comfort her..Even in her Daddy's arms the mean stares did not stop for the nurse..LOL!! We loaded up and by the time we got out of the parking lot LA was fast asleep.. It was a whole new experience for us and one that I am glad hasn't happened before.. So needless to say our baby girl is "Healthy!"

Space Shuttle Discovery

So the Space Shuttle Discovery finally went up tonight! We were actually able to see it from over on this coast! Jacob used to be stationed in Cape Canaveral and we lived there for 4 years! We used to sit out on our balcony and watch the launches all the time! It was amazing especially the night time launches, they would light up the sky. I haven't seen one since we have lived over on this coast so I was soooo excited to see it tonight! I shot a video of it..It's not the best quality but it's still neat! Jacob is on duty so I don't know if he saw it or not and go figure Lily Ann was already in bed!! Hope you enjoy!

Guess whose 6 Months old!?!

Our little baby is not so little anymore! Lily Ann turned 6 months yesterday! We can't believe how fast it has gone by! It is amazing to see how quickly they grow in such a short amount of time. She is discovering something new everyday, making new noises and sounds, and growing so fast. She definitely doesn't miss a meal! LOL!! Here are some things that she is doing:

*LOVES her Jumparoo..(I think this is the best investment that we have made so far!)

*Eats 3 meals a day, Cereal for breakfast, 1 jar of Fruit for lunch, and 1 jar of Vegetables for dinner.

*She now has 4 8oz. bottles a day minus the rice cereal.

*Has found out how to use her vocal cords..LOL!! Loves to scream and make all kinds of noises!

*Very happy..Only cries if she is tired.

*Still doesn't like to be on her belly! She will roll onto her belly then get mad and not roll back over! LOL!! Even though she can!

*Starting to sit by herself for a few seconds and then gets excited and falls over.

*When on her belly she tries to move forward but is actually scooting back..LOL!

*While playing on the floor will scoot, mostly on her back, and do circles..

*Loves Amber, our dog, who could really care less.. She will look right at Amber and start to scream until she notices her then Lily Ann opens her mouth and Amber will come over and try to lick her.. Gross, I know, I try to stop this before it happens but sometimes I'm not quick enough!

*Loves to take walks in her stroller.

*Still goes to bed around 7:15 and will sleep until 8:30ish!

*Loves loves loves bath time.. Would spend all day in the bath if she could..

*Takes 3- 45 minute naps a day.. Literally 45 minutes.. Sometimes if she is really tired she will sleep for 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon but very rare!!

*Loves her Daddy..Especially when she hasn't seen him in a couple of days..She gets sooo excited when he walks in the door and she just starts screaming and talking to him.. As if she was telling him what she has been doing the past few days while he was on duty! Melts my heart!

*Loves to be thrown in the air!(Not really thrown she never leaves our hands!) She gets that deep belly laugh going even before we start, she knows it's coming!

*She has to touch everything! And everything goes right to the mouth so we have to watch her like a hawk.

These are just a few things of what she is doing now! There is something new everyday! We take her for her 6 months check up on Monday and will get her height, weight, shots, etc. then. I can't wait to see how much our little chubster has grown.. I'm almost scared for her to get on the scales..HAHAHA!! She is definitely a "healthy" baby now!! We aren't too concerned about her being under weight anymore! LOL!! Happy Half Birthday Lily Ann, we love you so much and are sooo proud of you!! You are growing more and more each day and learning all kinds of new things! You truly have melted our hearts!!

We took LA to get her pictures yesterday! Of course she didn't really smile until we were done taking pictures...Sorry for the poor quality of pictures my scanner is having problems!! LOL!

What a morning!!!

So Lily Ann woke up earlier than she ususally does this morning! I roll out of bed still asleep to go and get her up. As I pick her up she is wet all the way up to her shoulders. Daddy didn't put our diaper on too good last night! LOL! I get her undressed and decide to that I will give her a bath after her bottle so I give her a good wipe down with the wipes, change her clothes, and proceed with the bottle. LA is like clock work. After her bottle I put her in her bouncer seat because with in 10 minutes of her bottle she has her daily poopy diaper and I wasn't about to put her in the tub and have something horrible like that happen! So when she had done her "deed" I went to pick her up and as I pick her up I realize that her legs are wet! You have got to be kidding me! Oh no here we go again! Sure enough she had exploded out the sides of her diaper! I carefully pull her pants off trying not to get the "dirty" everywhere and for the most part was pretty good about it. I get her all cleaned up throw a diaper on her and put her in her crib. (Thank goodness I hadn't taken the sheets off from this morning yet!) Start up the bath. Proceed to give her a bath and she's loving every minute of it. All I could do is laugh as I'm thinking to myself you poor little baby, thank goodness you won't remember this but I will!! LOL! So I get her out of the tub get her dressed for the day, put her in her piano toy thing, strip off the sheets in her crib, the changing table pad and cover, put back on clean sheets, changing cover and pad, and put the clothes in the sink to wash out. At this point she is past her nap time and is getting fussy so I go and get her to put her down for her nap as I go to pick her up and to put her in her crib she let out the loudest burp ever and then the flood came. Spit up all over me, herself, and the floor! So once again over to the changing table off come the clothes quickly replaced by fresh clean ones that are sure to be changed again at some point today! All of this before 10 am this morning!! I have laughed all morning thinking what else could possibly go wrong.. There is nothing more to do than laugh and think at least it makes the day go by fast because now there is extra laundry to do, carpet to clean, and keep my baby happy!! Man what a morning!! Who knew that motherhood could be so fun and full of surprises!!
