Learning: Animal School

Great video my cousin shared with me. We all are different and learn differently. Since we all teach, i think it is good to remember this.

Daddy reading "Peekaboo Morning"

Daddy is reading a book to me. I love books. I love hearing Daddy and Mommy talk. I am sitting up and love grabbing my toes. I even get my big toe in my mouth! I love putting my clothes in my mouth. Yummy! Mommy thinks I am teething.

Milk and Food Storage (Powdered, Yuck)

Milk! I love milk. I do not care for powder milk. When I was younger my Mom would trick us and mix real milk with powdered milk. I usually could taste the difference. I have powder milk in my food storage and I use it when I need to for cooking. My Mom told me about

I have not tried it yet but will soon. She left me with quart. The website says they have different flavors. Mango sounded fun and I love chocolate!
This may be a great alternative to powdered milk!

Happy Baby!

Lilia is such a happy baby. She wakes up smiling and talking. She is ready to give you smiles and laugh. I can even pretend I am tickling her and say the words and she laughs. We are so thankful for her happy disposition. Lilia is a joy. She is grabbing her feet and legs.

Bowling, I love the fun colors and the music!

We got a call from Annie and she asked us to come bowling. We decided to go. Asher's high score was 108 and Amy's high was 87. We had a great time. The bowling alley was not crowded and the music was fun. Lilia loved looking around. I can not believe it but Lilia fell asleep with the music blasting and all of us cheering! The shoes were very bright. I have a group picture but it will be added later.

Peaches! Yummy!

Lilia tried her first peach on July 4th! She loved it. She grabbed my hand tight and would not let go. Aunt Annie gave her some more peach on Wed. She really loved it. Peach juice everywhere and her bib was drenched. Today I gave her some in this holder I have. It allows her to eat stuff without choking on the food. She loved it! So far her tummy has been fine. She may not eat her rice cereal anymore. We will see what happens. I love the look of excitement and concentration on her face. Enjoy your peaches! We are loving peaches!

Happy 4th of July

We went blackberry picking very early in the morning. Lilia fell asleep in the stroller. We have a party at our house. Everyone chips in and brings food. We set up the longest slip-n-slide we have ever had and it was fun to go down! The kids played on that the entire time and some adults had fun going down as well! I took Lilia down twice. She did not get wet. Lilia loves to be in the middle of the action. She loves crowds and looking at people. She made a few friends. The last picture was taken on Sunday after church. She was tired. (We washed this outfit 3 times, so she could get the most out of it.)
Happy Fourth of July! We are so thankful for our freedoms. Thank you to everyone who came to the party. We appreciate everyone who helped with the slide, food, freeze pops, sparklers, kitchen clean up and having fun. If you did not make it see ya next time!
