the past couple of weeks

We had been looking all over for  a new born girl baseball style hat....the ONLY place that sells them is Fletchers!  Well....old navy had them but i didn't want one that said old navy on it.  My mom got this one for her- it's still a bit big but she liked wearing it!  Oh and she loves this silly cell phone toy :)

She has been sucking her thumb for a while now, but recently she does it all of the time.  She has gotten her first tooth and i think it helps soothe herself to sleep when her gums hurt.  Isn't it adorable though :)

On our trip to Eagle Crest last week with some of Jason's family we went on a hike at Tumalo falls.  It was very beautiful and a steep hill to climb with a baby strapped to you!  Lilly loved it though- she always loves being outside.

Cousin Luke enjoyed the hike too! 

So did cousins Tye and Teague!   I'm so sad i didn't get a picture of Noah hiking too...

Here are Luke, Lilly, Teague and Noah posing for Jenny and I while we took as many pictures as possible :)

We got some cute ones of the two babies, but we wish the newest cousin Mathilda could have joined in the fun!  She is just 4 weeks old and lives across the country!  Hope she knows we were thinking of her!!

N-NNOOO!! Not the camera!!!!  I'm pretty sure Lilly doesn't like cameras :)

Last weekend i put on my brave face and took Lilly swimming at the club!  I decided the only person whose oppinion i REALLY care about is Lilly's...and i didn't want her to miss out on swimming on a beautiful summer day just because i was scared to wear a swim suit!  So  we did it...and i survived :)  She LOVES the water!!  This is her relaxing after Grandma Liz got her all clean and dry afterwords.

Jenny got Lilly this pair of purple paisley baby legs and this picture turned out so hillarious... doesn't it look like she's just walkin around on her own??  (minus the fact that you can tell she's laying on a blanket!)

I can't believe it...in 2 weeks lilly will be 5 months old already!!  She's got a tooth, she can roll over both ways, she's 25 1/2 inches tall and 16 pounds!  What happened!!!  I fed her rice cereal yesterday for the first time and she seemed to enjoy it although she didn't quite understand how to swollow it.  She is so big already...  I love our baby Lilly!! :)
