Playdate with Cousin Grace

Modern Family

Anyone see the episode last night? Cameron is holding Lily when Mitchell returns from quitting his job. She is wearing the stylish jacket that Lilley has on in the pics (of her ready for swim class); Lilley's friend Paige gave it to her for her birthday!

St. Where?
Although we were supposed to be enjoying drinks on the beach, Michael and I spent yesterday at the St. Louis MISSOURI airport rather than the beaches of St. Thomas. Our first vacation since the honeymoon has been postponed! Here are some pics of Michael trying to get to St. Thomas or to Raleigh...anywhere but St. Louis! After 4 hours, we boarded a return flight to RDU.



Here are some pics of our ballerina once we returned. How big is Lilley?





Cruising around music class...


Her first tea party...

Is she 2 already? Have the tantrums begun? This is her first...kicking legs and all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LILLEY! Here are some pics from her birthday party this weekend. She had a blast and loves dancing to "Happy Birthday to You." Everyone graciously sang it several times throughout the day!

Lilley had her one year check-up last week (above). She is 23 pounds and 28 inches long. She has 6 teeth and she is officially walking (as of Friday). Her favorite song right now is "I'm a Little Teapot" because she enjoys tipping over! She also loves looking out the window at the birds in her bird feeder...

"I'd rather be inside reading than sitting in cold snow"
