Happy 9 months to Lily!

My little baby is 9 months old and I can't believe it! Where did my newborn go?
Lily is SO close to crawling. I think once she does, she will wonder why she didn't start sooner. She enjoys eating graham crackers, applesauce (homemade and gogo squeez), prunes & apples (for those difficult days), baby cheerios, and anything we are eating. She had her first taste of Thai food the other night.
Here are some pictures from today.
I wanted to take pictures of her in her dress...but she wasn't having it. Poor girl got a fever later this evening.
So, I gave her some bath time. She loves her baths!
9 month old pictures ended up being in her pajamas. Tait was pretending to hit his head on the wall to make her laugh. She was cracking up! Lily loves her daddy so much! She looks like she is crying in some of the pictures, but I promise she was laughing.

Thursday Night Dinner

We decided to eat out tonight at Emmett & Ethel's in Lehi. I had some babysitting money burning a hole in my wallet. It was actually pretty tasty. We both got burgers and they were HUGE! Even thought the meals were huge, I had to try their homemade ice cream. I got a scoop to go. One bite and I had to stop - it was so good! I want to enjoy it later when I'm hungry again. Maple nut...so good!

Ps - we are still waiting on Walmart.com to deliver Lily's new highchair. I'm excited for it to arrive.

Growing!

Lily must be growing...and teething. She has taken really good naps the past two days. Poor kid - I think she is getting teeth on the top. Do teeth come in some sort of order? Another thing I must google.

Green Beans...and some chicken

I made some more baby food today. I started with green beans first. Then, I got a little risky and did some chicken too. (I boiled cut up pieces of chicken breast and added a pinch of Italian seasoning.)
I added some green beans to the lovely looking puréed chicken. Then...I tried it. Um, not horrible. I won't eat it, but Lily will.

Balls & Buckets

Lily has really started to enjoy playing with balls. She loves when you roll them back & forth with her. She also loves putting in & taking things out of buckets, baskets, bowls, whatever. I love this cutie!

Making baby food

Yesterday I puréed some bananas and froze them. They were hard to get out of the ice cube tray...I might not do that one again.

Today, I am steaming some apples, pureeing and freezing. Lily loves apples mixed in with her oatmeal. I'll add a pinch of cinnamon for a little different flavor.

I also plan on pureeing some green beans I bought from Costco. A huge bag of frozen organic green beans was around $5! Some for us...some mushed for baby girl :-)
