Banana Stealer...
So not so long ago, my dad was holding Lilly. He reached for something in the fridge, closed the door, and realized that Lilly, in a moment's notice, had stolen the wasabi from the door of the fridge. Since then, she has been called Wasabi grabber by my dad.
Now, she needs a new name.
I sent a banana to daycare with Lils today. Well, I sent a cut up banana to daycare yesterday and it was so gross by the time the decided to feed it to her that they assured me if I sent a whole banana, they would be happy to cut it up for me.
So I did.
When I got there to pick her up this afternoon, she was sitting in her highchair, eating crackers and refusing the newly cut up banana. I gathered her things and took the rest of the banana with me.
On the way to the car, she grabbed the banana out of my hands and started gnawing on it... peel and all. So I peeled a little of it and gave her the whole banana to eat. Once we got her buckled in the car seat, I took the banana away and set it in the daycare bag that holds bottles and dirty dishes.
We headed to meet our friend Saba in the Highlands for some tea.
When I pulled up to the Highlands, i happily got out and opened to the door to get my baby out. But what I saw would have frightened even the biggest horror movie lover! Banana was everywhere! All over her legs. All over her arms! In her hair! In her ears! between her toes! It was as if she had taken a bath in banana. Needless to say the carseat was also filthy.
What to do? We were supposed to meet Saba in a few minutes and I had no washcloths or anything with me.
I remembered that there was a fountain at the Highlands that is just a piece of sidewalk that has places where water squirts out. That would at least be a good place for her to rinse off!
So I drove to the fountains, quickly threw off my shoes and undressed her as much as I could.
She and I hopped into the fountain and got soaking wet! That child had banana pieces in her diaper, on her chest, attached to her earlobe!
We finally got her clean and dressed in new clothes and headed off to find Saba, no worse for wear.
When we got home, for a second, I thought about eating one of those delicious looking bananas on the counter, but then my thoughts came back eyelashes caked with nasty banana and I started to smell it all over again. No bananas for me for a long time. And I am going to make sure I keep them away from her! Banana Stealer!
PS. had I been in my right mind, I would have taken pictures of the progression. Be glad though that I didn't take a picture of her covered in banana. It would ruin your image of her.
:)

Walking and Big Girl Food
In March, Lils started crawling. Full on crawling. Mostly to chase the cat. Now she crawls all over the place. She still chases the cat, but now she crawls to run away from us when we are trying to get her dressed after her bath. She crawls around to get to her favorite toys, and she crawls around to get into things she shouldn't. But now, she would much rather pull herself up and toddle around the coffee table. She is itching to walk!
It won't be long now till she gets enough balance to walk around all on her own. And then when that happens, let the fun begin! Well, if nothing else, mom and dad are going to need oxygen from chasing her around.
OH BOY.
And we have been enjoying the baby food since she was about 7 months old, but now Lils is more interested in eating big people food. She and I spent the morning eating eggs. She sat in my lap and we ate off of my plate together. She is certainly more interested in people food than she is in baby food. Her favorites so far right now are cheese, crackers, bananas, grapes (peeled of course) and mango. What a big girl she is! So much growing so fast! I just can't believe it!

Slackers? or Just Busy?
I am trying to figure out which it is. I think a little bit of both. sorry for not posting as often as we should. Things are pretty busy around here for us.
The Lils' Nana and Grandpa moved to Arlington! That is a huge thing! They moved here to be with her. No, the move wasn't fun for them and I am sure my mom will be missing her Brownwood friends for a LONG time, but they are here now. Hopefully, mom will be able to make new friends and start getting involved with a new church family.
Change is hard!
But I have to say, as hard as it has been for them, it has been awesome for us. Now, when Lils gets sick, I can call them and ask them to pick her up from daycare. They see her all the time now, and it is nice to have them sooo soo close by! We love it.
I think Lil will be really thankful later on to have them so close by.
Since Lilly is trying out regular food, my dad has gotten her addicted to Ritz crackers! She could eat a million of them if we would let her. One in each hand, for sure. And she loves Nana's Jello. Oh the things Grandparents do!
One cool thing, I am teaching summer school (that isn't the cool part) and so Lils has had the chance to go to Kindermusik with Nana and Grandpa. They will take her every Monday for a month and will get to sing, play, and use musical instruments. What a great bonding time to have with them.
So, Nana and Grandpa, thanks for uprooting your life. Thanks for being willing to be a part of Lils' life. Thanks for loving her and wanting the best for her always. :)
