Wild Woman

Lily Kate's bed time is 7pm. At around 8 tonight we were eating dinner listening to her playing in her bed, laughing. So, we went and got her to play with us. Where does she get all this energy? I love this girl!

SMILE!

We broke down and got a new camera because our old one only worked 20% of the time. Well, there's something about the new camera that has Lily Kate interested, when I take pictures now she will look right at the camera and sometimes even smile. We're entering in to a new era of picture taking!

What a great summer day

Yesterday morning we went to a place called Fit 4 Fun and LK had a blast, she ran around picking up toys and then dropping them 2 sec later when the next thing caught her eye. After while she slowed down and got a little more focused. Oh and I wanted to report that yesterday Lily Kate said (unprompted) "that's funny" and then gave her little social laugh. It sounded more like "dats fuuyey" but it was hilarious.

Then last night we went down to Carolina Beach and watched fireworks with a group of friends. Lily Kate clapped and said "woah" a lot. The echo tripped her up (like last 4th of July). She kept hearing the boom behind her too and so she would watch the fire work and then turn around really quickly to see if there were some behind her. She was a fan.

My sweet nephew, Jack

I had to steal this great shot from my dad, Jack' s name was one of the first names that Lily Kate would call out as we passed the pictures on her bullitin board. She has a lot of enthusiasm for her big cousin.

Our girl is so silly, she goes a mile a minute. It's really hard to take pictures of her these days b/c she is never still. One trick I have found is to sit her in my lap and take a picture of us and then she get's to look at it, it's sort of working (below). So, Parks always says to Lily Kate, "guess what?..... I love you". He says it a ton of times a day and today he said, "guess what?" and she said, "I wuv you" before he could finish. It was priceless.

Crazy but Cute
