I have been really bad about posting. Lily is doing great! She had a great birthday and has been walking everywhere for about a month now. She loves the freedom! She also has become a tease. She loves to tease us! She gets so excited when Mark comes home from work and distraught when he leaves for work if she is awake! She spends her days pretending to talk to Dad on the phone, caring for her babies, or emptying the kitchen drawers!

"I want more chocolate cake" Can't imagine where she got that attitude from.
Lily wasn't sure about Santa but did great! She has two more chances to see him
we will see how she does!

Growning up too fast

Loves to feed herself and eat almost anything!
Loves to wave and talk with her hands

Checking herself out in her Halloween Costume

Getting way too big!

If you look close you can see her teeth!

A wild nap

I can't believe it's been 8 months already!

It is hard to believe that Lily is 8 months old. These eight months sure have gone a lot faster than the 8 months I was pregnant. She is growing up so fast and is so much fun! We just love her! Some of her favorite things to do are: put everything in her mouth, play with her toys, squeal, talk- especially saying "Dada, " take bathes, clap, eat dry cereal in her high chair, go swimming, look at pictures on the computer, be tickled, play with her family(she is loving having Sam here), and smile at total strangers. She isn't crawling yet, which is fine with me -- I don't know if I am ready for that yet. She can scoot around some to get what she is after. We took Mommy/baby swim lessons in June and she loved them. She wasn't scared of the water, even when I took her under. She got pretty good at kicking on her stomach and back and even blew some bubbles. It was a lot of fun to do with her and I plan to do it again in the fall.

Sam arrived on Saturday and we took him, Becca, Lily, cousin Syd, and Becca's roommate to 7 peaks. They all had a great time. Lily hung out in the Lazy River and Wave pool in her floatie and had a great time.

Here are some recent pictures! Chillin in the bath tub!
This picture captures her personality! She is the happiest little girl and has a very high pitched squeal when she is excited!


She loves to play with Sam and watches everything he does. Sam is such a great big brother! I don't know what I will do when he leaves at the end of the summer.

Just having fun!

It's been a crazy month

We have had a crazy month. We moved last weekend and are still trying to finish cleaning out the old house and get everything unpacked at the new house. Lily seems to like her room and is sleeping in her crib out of our room! The other day she was really fussy in the car and when I got her out this how she looked!
7 months old and loves to sit and put everything in her mouth!
What a cutie!

She loves to play with the baby in the mirror!

We had Dakota spend the weekend with us! I don't know how people have twins! It was very busy but fun! The girls had fun together but the dog was not happy to have two babies in the house!

Sam will be here in a few weeks for the summer and the other boys come later. Our goal is to get all unpacked before he gets here.

A fun Saturday

Today we went to Thanksgiving Point with Mark's Dad to see the farm animials. Lily seemed to enjoy it except when a cow came too close to her and she broke into tears. It was funny!

Jack made a new friend at the car show we came upon!

Mother's Day was really special this year! I feel so blessed to have Lily in my life and to be her Mom. We are so lucky to have such a sweet, happy girl! She is just so much fun! It is so fun watching her learn new things and experience things for the first time! And her smile just melts my heart!

Miss Lily is 6 months old!

We can't believe how fast this last 6 months has gone!Lily is growing so fast and learning new things all the time. In other news we are moving in about a month! The house is coming along and I am packing as much as Lily lets me. We are getting excited for the summer and having the boys with us!

Baby Girl Eats Cereal

Lily had her 4 month doctors appointment on Friday. She now weighs 14 pounds and is 24 inches long. I can't believe how fast she is growing! The doctor said we could try rice cereal. She wasn't sure about it at first but is starting to eat it better and better!

What is this?


Still not so sure about the ceeral

She decided it wasn't so bad!

Happy Birthday Sam!

Can't believe our Sammie is 13 today! We sure miss him!

My assistant was more interested in eating the paper than posing

Chillin in the Bumbo

Our neighbor let us borrow her bumbo. Lily is starting to get the hang of it. Watching tv

Just relaxing!

Big Changes

There have been some big changes at the Capell house. This week I went back to work-- that was one of the hardest things I have had to do-even though I knew that Lily was being well cared for. Mark and I decided that I should be home with Lily so after working at DCFS for more than 13 years I have given my two week notice after being back at work for a whole two days. I will miss my friends at work but I am really excited that I won't have to work full time and that I will be able to take care of sweet Lily! We have also placed our house up for sale so that we can get something smaller. Of course I have to post some new photos of Miss Lily!

What a happy girl!

I love those lashes!
