Halloween!!!

So I had my first Halloween ever and it wasn't what I expected. Well, I didn't really know what to expect, it was my FIRST Halloween. I got to make a cool Jack-o-latern at my friend Tucker's Pumpkin Party--Thanks Tucker, I had fun! Anyway, Dad did the carving, I just picked out the eyes. That's him in the picture with me below in front of my house. Mommy and I had fun outside in my costume for a while, but it's hot in there! Anyway, I got to have the most fun just passing out candy to the kids that came to my house. They were wearing some weird stuff but I guess that's what this is all about. That's OK though, I didn't get scared at all. Not even ONCE! Anyway, there were so many kids that I couldn't count them all (probably because I can't count yet). But Mommy and Daddy said there were 88. That sure sounds like a lot. I've never heard a number like that before. Oh, well, I'm going to bed. Good Night,

That's me. Ain't I cute as a button? 

So BUSY!

So last week I was standing up in the living room, playing with Dad and I sort of stumbled a little and put my foot out to keep myself from falling. I thought maybe I did something wrong because Dad's eyes got REALLY big and he got really quiet. Then, after a second he cheered for me and said, "Lily! You took your first step!" I clapped my hands and gave Dad a hug because he seemed so happy. I wanted to hug Mommy too but then I remember she was at a meeting. I think that scared Daddy because he called my Nana on the telephone and asked her what he should tell Mommy, but I don't know why he worried. Mommy was really happy when she got home.

So I've been working on this thing that the grown ups call "walking." I don't quite get what all the fuss is about. I mean, I can get where I need to go much faster when I'm crawling. I even beat my Dad sometimes when he's trying to chase me, he doesn't go very fast though! But like I said, I don't get this walking thing. All the grown ups want to do is see me do it now. I walk to Mommy and they cheer, "Yea Lily!" and "Look at you." I make them so excited I turned around walked back to Daddy-- I don't want to disappoint my audience you know.

Anyways, I thought you might enjoy this picture of me practicing this walking thing outside. I gotta go if I want Mommy to read me that "Peek-A-Boo" book again.

Kisses,

Fun At Aunt Amy and Uncle Dan's House

Last night I got to go to Uncle Dan and Aunt Amy's House. It was lots of fun! I saw that Aunt Amy had a rocking chair and some Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls! Here's a picture of me with the dolls. Jan and Ron, some nice people I met brought them to Amy's house and I'm glad they did because I loved playing with them. I also sat in their rocking chair. It was SO MUCH fun! I had never done that before. I just rocked back and forth and smiled. Well, I gotta go eat some breakfast.
