Father's Day

Father's Day was a big celebration day for us. Not only did we celebrate 3 dads, we also celebrated Mom's birthday since she was out of town for the actual occasion.

Liliana and Daddy celebrate with kisses. Her shirt says My Dad' A Superhero.
Staylee opening presents.
Larry had never received a Father's Day present! Well, Liliana and I slammed him with them this year, including yummy gourmet chocolates.
Grandpa opening his travel survival kit for China.
At Red Lobster, Liliana was entertained during the wait by watching the lobsters in their tank.

Summer Baby

I wanted to take a minute to post some pictures of Liliana and her activities this summer. She is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. She's been having a hard time lately because she is trying to cut her first teeth, but Mommy has concocted a nightcap that works wonders.

Checking out core samples during her first trip to a museum. Great-Grandpa educated us on the geology of the oil field at the Petroleum Museum.
Sleeping after a long day of baby work.
Enjoying some play time with her big sister Charleigh, who wasn't really interested in the baby until Lili picked up a tennis ball. Then she had the dog's undivided attention.
Liliana offering Perdi her pacifier. Perdita politely declined, although she did give her some kisses as a thank you.

My parents bought her a little pool for the porch. At first she wasn't sure what to think, but by the end she was splashing and having a great time.

Uncle Chris came in for Mamaw's birthday--Liliana loved her uncle and cousin.
Reading with Cousin Tristen. She really liked him--at one point he had her laughing so hard she fell over.
Playing with a cup at lunch one day. It's amazing the things that can occupy her.
Sweet baby girl with her Disney pals.

8 months!

It is hard for me to believe that Liliana is 8 months old already. She is crawling like a champ, although still slowly and occasionally going back to dragging herself. She is also pulling up on things and still loves standing. Here are some pictures from her photo session yesterday. She was so happy and cute the whole time!
