Grandma toys

My mom has more toys, and loves toys more than anyone I know! She has probably 50 boxes of toys in her basement, and about 10 others throughout the house. In fact, today I helped her order some Playmobil people and parts. She loves the playmobil toys, and fisher price people, and she loves her Barbies, and other dolls. Her bedroom is filled with her special dolls, and they’re not the fancy kind, they are dolls for little girls. When she was little, she only had one toy, a stuffed humpty dumpty that her mom made her for a Christmas gift. She said she never felt bad that she didn’t have more toys, but she sure enjoys them now! Zeke loves playing, and imaging with all the new toys here are my parents’.

Lilly is starting to like baby dolls, and other toys too. She really had fun with this tiny doll house.

I thought it was so cute how Lilly looked through the doll house window :)

My older siblings gave my late Grandma S the nick-name of “Grandma Graham Cracker”, because she always gave us Graham Crackers and milk when we visited. My Grandma J was nick-named “Grandma Gum” because she always had, and still does have, the green double mint  gum in her purse to give us. My mom would be “Grandma Toys”, Jimmy’s mom would be “Grandma Activities”, because she always has fun games, outings, or crafts for the grand kids to do. Grandma Charlotte is “Grandma Cool Candies”, (and books), she finds the most fun treats, and children’s books!

Zeke is totally in the I-don’t-want-my-picture-taken stage, which is why I haven’t had many pics to post of him on the blog. I was happy to get this one, even if he isn’t completely looking, I love Zeke’s cheese smiles :)

1 month away from 1 year!

Her sign says, “I have 7 teeth! I fold my arms during family prayers, and I like to do what I see others do, like blow, when people blow my fuzzy hair.” I also should have added that she loves my phone, (as you can see in the pictures), and she pulls her bows out! I had to give her my phone to keep her hands busy so they wouldn’t reach up and pull out her flower :)

Silly girl! She was in such a cute, funny mood!

Little Miss

I have really been missing pictures of Lilly on our blog with all the Cancun pictures. My “Lilly pictures to blog” have been piling up, here are the majority of them-

Lilly fell asleep in her chair for the first time the day after we got back from Cancun. She was so tired, and would not sleep in her crib so I let her come down for a snack, and before I knew it, she was fast asleep :)

I love, love, LOVE that face! She is such a doll!

Bundled up after her bath. I love this huge, soft towel Jenni!

Lilly with her wet hair down, but within minutes, it poofs out. I love her hair!

Her shoes are too big, but I couldn’t wait until they fit to put them on her.

When Lilly isn’t very hungry, she plays games with us, like biting the spoon, and squishing her food out of her mouth. Haha! She is a funny girl!

Lilly loves her uncles…

I bought this night gown last May after we found out we were going to have a daughter! I couldn’t wait for it to warm up enough for Lilly to wear it. I thought she’d be walking by the time it fit her, since it’s a 12 month size, but I’m glad I got it out for her to wear now because it is almost too small :)  I love it on her, it’s so darling!

more bed head hair, and an adorable face

We went outside a lot yesterday, and Lilly loved it! She was totally enthralled with the trees, birds, sky, and everything around! I love this age!
