So 2010 started out with a bang! We did some fire works on New Year Eve and New Years day, Lilly loved them!
In January I started training for Race for the Cure 5K. The Saints made it to the Super Bowl for the first time ever. With that exciting news, I went looking for some fabric to make Lilly some black and gold dresses. I had no luck with the fabric, but I did find some black and gold tulle…tutu time!!!
I posted this picture of Lilly in her tutu and got tons of comments from friends wondering how much they were…
So with some thought I decided to start making special order tutus and created “Lilly Pie Creations.” Here are a few of them…
Oh yeah and the Saint’s won the super bowl!!! All thanks to my cupcakes :) I’m still practicing can’t you tell.
Mardi Gras was in February. Lilly and I went to our first parade with Mimi and Papa Jay. We went to Poseidon in Downtown Baton Rouge, it was a lot of fun and of course all the throws go to cute kiddos like mine.
In March, Daddy got a new car!!!
Momma, Lilly and Amaw ran the race for the cure. We had the whole family there cheering us on. Lilly did wonderful throughout the whole race, she even fell asleep sometime around the 1st mile marker and stayed asleep until I finished the race. I even managed to run it at my goal pace!
We also donated a ton of money to sears portrait studio to have Lilly’s first birthday pictures taken.
We even got in some outside time…
We slept and made some messes too!
I can’t believe that in a week my baby will be a year old!! Yikes, she is getting so big. She has figured out how to open cabinets as you can see above, she can open doors if they are cracked open a little bit and she is walking behind her shopping cart. I also made it to my nursing goal! We made it to almost a year of nursing!! Lilly decided at around 11 months to start weaning herself, which was fine with me since she already had 5 teeth. But her doctor told me it was ok to let her wean herself and start her slowly on whole milk. Now a week before he birthday we are still nursing once a day in the morning and the rest is whole milk. I can’t tell you how much money we saved by avoiding formula all together. It was a long and very painful process, in the beginning it was so hard I didn’t think that I would make it 6 weeks. But I did and now almost a year later I can say that my baby had all “mommy milk” the first year of her life!

I can't believe its been a year! Wow! It really just seems like yesterday we were hovering around as Mike brought her out of the delivery room. Time sure does fly. I love that she is playing in the tupperware cabinet... Mike was allowed to do that too ... remind me to tell you the "play Momma" story
