9 months

I love watching Lillian grow each & everyday.  But at the same time, I wish I could go back in time a bit to her itty bitty days & snuggle. I have a feeling this is the way I'll feel about her from here on out, it's probably the way all parents feel.  She has been on the move & getting into everything! Lilly's becoming quite independent & would rather be off on her own, exploring! 

She melts my heart day in & out, & continues to be such a happy go lucky baby who always has a smile on her sweet face & can instantly light up the room.  She loves being around people, especially other babies. We've started getting together with friends for play dates & she has thoroughly enjoyed them.  Lately her biggest obsession is playing with noisy, light up toys, anything on wheels & anything in my hands. Needless to say, she continues to amaze me each day.  

This month the 3 of us went to Hawaii to celebrate Phillip returning from deployment & my 7 yr. dream of becoming a PT. It was in Hawaii that we found out I officially passed the NPTE & was licensed to practice! This was our 1st vacation, we never took a real honeymoon since I lived in FL when I came back to WA to get married. We had such a great time! Lillian swam in the ocean, enjoyed the warmth & beauty of the island of Oahu! I seriously could not get over her baby bikini, I'm not sure if it's the belly or rolls, but it was certainly the cutest thing I have ever seen. Were so not ready to leave Hawaii- is anyone ever ready to leave Hawaii?
