8 Months

Eight months old and loving it! Miss Lily is sitting on her own pretty well as long as there is nothing nearby that she wants to get, then she is over on her side trying to reach it. Lily loves to eat. She prefers the sweeter taste of fruits, but hasn't turned anything down yet. Her favorite color seems to be red. She reaches for the red plastic cups, red Coke cans(I need that picture Lara!) and loves wearing this red dress. She loves the bathtub and gets very excited when she sees her sister swimming in the pool. She likes to play in the exersaucer, but she loves the johnny jump up. She can't wait to go after her big sister and I don't think walking can come too soon for her. She still loves to snuggle and giggles at just about everything Grace does. She loves music and will quiet down in the car for veggie tales still. She is working on getting some teeth. Not fun, long nights of periodic waking and screaming and occassionally fits in the daytime. She hates the taste of anbesol and spits it out at you when you put it on her gums. She loves her vibrating teether and anything else she can get into her mouth. She is still on her beta blocker for the irregular heart rhythms she experienced in the hospital post surgery. The doctors are letting her outgrow the dosage, so she should be completely off of it in July. She is still a big spitter, not so much throw up(knock on wood), but we still carry lots of burp clothes around. Anyway it looks to be a fun summer with our growing girls.
On another note, I cannot post Grace's dance recital or her end of preschool program due to the fact that the video file is too large for blogger. As for her first swim meet on Thursday May 21st we had a camera malfunction and don't have any film or pictures. Maybe the Hughes will post it for us or give us a copy(hint, hint Ms. Lara).
