Lily’s new favorite song?? Single Ladies…. I don’t know how this happened, but it did.
Here is a video of Lily in the car with Andy, Isabella and I. Some of it is dark (so there is just audio)… It is a little bit long, but fun.

Earlier this month, my dad, Andy and I played in a poker tournament series over at Spirit Mountain. However, there was one day that Andy and my dad played, when I did not. Instead, I took Lily over to the Salem Riverfront Park. We had never been there before, but we heard it had a carousel. The riverfront was awesome: a great indoor carousel (open year round), fountains, a nice park… Lily loved it and so did I. Here are a few pictures from the day:
Lily is a sicky girl. Don’t know what it is — some sort of viral something. She always throws up when she is sick. THROWS UP. Andy and I have the clean-up routine down. She only really throws up between the hours of Midnight – 3am (when she is laying down, asleep, as are we):
WAAAAAAAA, WAAAAAAA… Bolt out of bed, to Lily’s room in the pitch black. Reach down to get her. Uh oh. Chunks, wet, something. “ANDY! I NEED YOU.” Up out of bed. Lily and I in the shower (clothes on and all). Andy cleans up. Lily and mom showered and asleep in “Mama’s Bed.” Dad kicked out to the office bed.
That’s about how it goes.
And, as I typing now she pulled her stool over to the counter so that she could climb up and grab, grab, grab. Result? Coffee all over the floor. It was just a handful of days ago that she learned to carry the stool around to get up high. And, it was just a handful of days ago that she has started her throwing phase. Everything gets thrown.
On a happier note, here are some pictures I took using the computer camera (not best quality, but cute):
“Andy’s Genes, My Jeans”
“Sick and snuggling”
Lily thinks that “Good Job, Lily” is a number… I have desperately tried to get her on video while counting to 10. She is tired of me trying (so is Dad, too, I am sure). Here is all I have been able to get:

I caught Lily on tap right before nap time. She was being so cute, playing all on her own. And, if you listen carefully, you will notice that she went potty in the bathroom all by herself (not in the toilet, mind you, just in the bathroom).

Lily has been waking up in the middle of the night (unusual for her) and has been eating a lot… A LOT. I think she is having a little growth spurt. We shall see, but this is my prediction.
I also know I owe this blog some recent photos / videos. This week or next week.
Oh, and Andy will be on ESPN this coming Tuesday (August 17th) at either 5pm or 6pm or both. We thought it would be last week, but we were wrong. 99% sure it will be this week.
Lily’s longest sentence as of yet was uttered tonight: “I see Mama’s car right there.”
She also tried a hot tub for the first time and liked it.
Just some things to share about Lily:
Today, I put Lily on the scale to find that she weighed 34.3 pounds. I was surprised. To be honest, I thought she weighed more! (I would have guess she was more like 37-38 pounds). No reason for posting this other than for my own records in the future (which is the reason for most of my uninteresting posts!)
