Lily's Dedication

This past weekend was a busy one on the Trail.  We dedicated ourselves to raising Lily in a home that loves and serves God.  Many of our family members and friends joined us to celebrate this commitment.  We feel blessed to be surrounded by awesome people that support us.  Here are some pictures from the big day.

We were just about to get started.

Random Picture Friday

I didn't realize how many pictures I hadn't uploaded onto my computer.  Here are a bunch of random ones from the past few weeks.  Hope you all have a blessed weekend!

Luke had a play date with Amelia.  It was below 70 degrees, but these kiddos wanted to play in the water.

This cracks me up.

We went searching for bird nests and found some eggs!

At Jones' Brothers for a last play date with Bethany.  We are going to miss our play dates with the Doyles!

My Grandma Hasley and Lily Jo.  Aren't they the cutest?

Family trip to the zoo after church.  We thought Luke would love the train...turns out he was pretty terrified.

I love this girl.

We love strawberries!

Lily was helping me make strawberry jam.

Luke got a treat of Nutella crepes for breakfast last Friday morning.

Seven Splendid Months of Lily

Lilies are blooming on the Trail and our Lily Jo is 7 months old today.  This girl makes us laugh daily and her smile is infectious.  Here is what Lily has been up to this month...

• Lily can almost sit up on her own.  She has taken a couple tumbles lately, but she is getting better and better everyday.
• She has decided she is not ready to eat solid food.  We have tried numerous different fruits and vegetables, but she turns her head and snaps her mouth shut.  We will keep trying!
• Lily takes two naps a day and sleeps form 7:00-7:00 at night.  We are thankful she sleeps well.
• Lily is Luke's biggest fan.  She watches him all day everyday and loves him to pieces.
• One of Lily's trademarks is wrinkling up her nose.  It's the cutest.
• Lily can still fit in some 3-6 month clothing, but is wearing mostly 6-9 month clothing.
• Lily loves to chat.  She talks constantly.
• When you pick up Lily, one of the things she loves to do is stand and bounce.  I keep thinking she will be an early walker, but time will tell.
• Lily nurses four times a day and takes a bottle of formula at night before bed.  She can down anywhere from 10-12 ounces at before bed.
• Bath time is still one of Lily's favorite times of day.  She loves splashing with Daddy.

That hair???!!!
