Do you know the wonderful thing about Tiggers? 

“The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is that I’m the only one.  I’mmm the only one!”

Lilly just like her daddy loves Tigger and is learning the Tigger Song from her Daddy.  Tigger is very important in our house, he sleeps in bed with Lilly every night and goes everywhere with us.  Lilly has multiple Tiggers, take a look what I found in the living room the other day.  Lilly was being very quiet so I peaked over the kitchen counter at her and found this…

In order from left to right, Big Tigger, Lilly, Little Tigger and Baby Tigger.  Thank goodness only little Tigger sleeps in bed with Lilly. And yes, Lilly named them all by herself!!  She also set them up like this and left a space for herself. 

Fun in the Sun

About 2 weeks ago we had a play date with Lilly’s husband to be, Flynn.  I snapped a ton of pictures, it was so much fun!

 

I think Lilly is still in the “boys have cooties” stage because she wouldn’t swim with Flynn despite his pleas for her to swim with him

Flynn playing with the bubbles

Flynn and Lilly playing with bubbles, as you can tell the bubbles were a bigger hit than the pool and sprinkler!

Lilly being a ham

Eli is such a cutie! He just sat around and watched the big kids play!

As you can tell Raelynn is not in any of the pictures, she was napping most of the time. Have I mentioned how much I love our sleepy babies!  Raelynn seems to be taking after he big sister and daddy in the sleep department, the LOVE it!

Lilly and Momma’s play time

Lilly and I are really enjoying the sleepy newborn phase.  We even played paparazzi the other day.  Just about every time I pull out my camera, Lilly has to take out hers, so we decided to take pictures of each other :)

 

I’m still learning all the different settings on my camera

All Smiles

Ok, so I’m a little behind in posting on the blog, I promise I will try to do better!  Raelynn has been smiling and coo’ing at  us for about 2 weeks now.  It is really hard to catch her smiling on camera, but tonight I finally captured a smirk!  Check out that dimple on her left cheek!

My Brown Eyed Girl

I love Lilly’s eyes, they are so big and beautiful, not to mention expressive.  Here are a few pictures to prove it!

 

Sisterly love!

We have been pretty busy around here lately, but things are finally starting to fall into place.  Raelynn is sleeping pretty good (for a 5 week old) and Lilly loves her to pieces!  Mike and I are both only children so it is so neat to watch the relationship between Raelynn and Lilly grow.  Here are a few pictures to prove it.

 

I must say it is very fun to make them match…all the way down to their diapers! Gotta love cloth diapers!

Let's Play Out the Bet

Last week Mike was keeping Lilly busy while I was making lunch. He sat on the floor in the kitchen and had Lilly name her letters with the fridge magnets. Now every time Mike is in the kitchen, Lilly asks "Let's play out the bet (alphabet)." Here is a video that I took today of her naming all of the letters and some of their sounds with Daddy. Sorry it's so long, but I couldn't stop myself from recording.
