It is so hard to get Lily talking on video because as soon as she sees the camera she goes into picture mode. This is a very small glimpse of how chatty she is.

Random mobile shots
A few months ago it was time to get a new cell phone and after much talking and considering we decided to upgrade to smart phones. Waldo and I each got a htc Incredible. We love them and one of my favorite parts is that it has a pretty darn good camera. I almost always have my phone with me so it’s convent when Lil’s being extra cute to just grab it and snap away.
I’ve seen on a few other blogs where they share their mobile shots and love the idea. So here goes.

Halloween 2010 – Trick or Treat
This is the first Halloween that Lily had any idea what was happening and I was super excited because we live in the same town as a lot of our family now so I was going to get to show my cutie pie off. I mean pictures are good but the real thing is so much better. Lily loved her costume and once she got comfortable with so many people in the room she played and showed off her tutu and wand.
My Mom’s wife Cory surprised us with the tutu, wings and onesie a month or two ago. When we got it I knew what Lily was going to be for Halloween and it was perfect. I bought the wand and a tiara to finish the fairy princess look off. The tiara wouldn’t stay on her head so we just carried it around. She loved the wand and had a lot of fun waving it about and chewing on the star topper.
We don’t really give Lily candy or much sugar for that matter so going door to door to trick or treat seemed unnecessary this year. So we went to visit my Dad and Step-Mom before the real trick or treating started. We wanted to be back in our comfy home before all the ghosts and Gaga’s were wondering the streets. We would have visited more people but my Grandparents are in Mississippi visiting my Aunt, my Mom lives about 35 minutes away and the few other family members were either out of town or busy with their own lives. They will all get to see the pictures so they will survive.
Daddy taking Lily up to Grandpa’s door. Lily is still shy around my Dad (and everyone else except my in-laws) so she didn’t say trick or treat although we had practiced.
We meet my sister Jolene and her kids at our Dad’s so we could take pictures of the girls together.
Livi had just woke up and was in no mood for pictures at first.
They were both fairies and just looked too cute together.
This is a picture of my lovely little sister Jolene. She hates it so I guess it’s a good thing she doesn’t read my blog. This should teach her. 🙂
My step-niece and nephew were there too.
Brianna was a really cute cat.
The kids went outside to play after a while.
That’s my step-nephew Tristan, he’s a ninja.
I had to bribe Olivia to sit still so I could take a picture of her and Lily together outside. Lily just wanted to go down the slide again, this was the best shot I got.
We had a really nice Halloween and hope that all of you did too.
Halloween 2010 – The Patch
This past Saturday which I guess would be Halloween-Eve we took Lily to this really cool looking Pumpkin Patch. She had a great time walking around and climbing on all the pumpkins. I don’t know what about the big orange pumpkins screamed crawl over me, but Lily sure thought so.
They also make great seats.
Lily let us put her on top of the hay wall by a really cute little pumpkin and a scarecrow. I thought it would make a great picture and it sort of did, I think the light is a little off or something. Anyway, she wanted down RIGHT AWAY.
Lily was determined to move the wheelbarrow. I don’t know where she thought it needed to go but she was going to get it there.
I realized a while ago that I’m in very few pictures with Lily so I’m trying to get better about giving the camera to Waldo.
I got a couple good ones of them, this one is my favorite. And did you notice, more pumpkin sitting?
On the way out Lily need to investigate the hay wall and the pumpkins.
Lily: Hey Mama, I’m pretty sure something great is going on over there.
Me: Oh yeah? What do you think it is Baby Girl?
L: I’m not sure, but I’m going to use these great orange step stools to find out.
M: Just be careful.
L: Almost there.
L: Just a little further
M: What do you see?
L: Nothing, I’m too short!
*Don’t you love how us blogger Mom’s will let their kid do something semi dangerous to get the good pictures? LOL!
Happy Halloween!
My Little Yo Gabba Gabba Addict
From the time that I was pregnant I had planned to limit Lily’s TV time and we did a pretty good job of it… until now. We had showed Lily some clips from Yo Gabba Gabba a few times over the last six months or so and she really showed no interest. Then a few weeks ago Waldo turned on a episode on the living room tv and I think Lily finally saw all the dancing and now she’s head over heals addicted. We didn’t know how strong the addiction was until later in the day when she came up to me and pointed to my computer and said “Dabba Dabba”. I was shocked! Now she asks for it on the TV, our computers and our phones all the time. Sometimes we give in, sometimes we don’t.
The first I had heard of YGG was a clip I saw on Whoorl and I thought it was crazy.
I showed it to Waldo and he loved it. It is so colorful and good natured and old school that he knew he wanted to share it with Lily. After I saw another episode I knew I loved it too. I even saw a episode where they were telling kids not to eat things off the ground, I mean really, I am forever saying “we don’t eat floor food”, there is no three second rule in our house.
Each episode is full of good kid friendly lessons, dancing and music and sometimes really cool bands and actors.
Lily is in good company when it comes to her YGG addiction. I know that Gretchen, Maia and Em are also hug fans.
