Lily Is One!

I feel bad that it has taken me this long to get up a post about our sweet Lily turning one! Lily turned one on August 22nd. Lil's first year went so fast for me...way faster than Logan's first year. I'm sure it has something to do with having two little ones to chase after rather than just one! We have enjoyed watching her grow up this past year. She has changed so much. Although she looks just like her brother their personalities are a lot different. Lily is much more daring and busy! She took her first steps around 10 1/2 months, 11 months she would try to get up and go a lot, she would make it several steps but often fell right back on her bum, now she is up and walking everywhere! The other day she found herself on top of the kids picnic table we have on the deck...sheesh! She is pretty laid back, although with walking now she always wants to go and doesn't want to be picked up as much. And the best thing about Lily is she is a snuggler and we love every second when she wants to lay her head down on our shoulders. She is kind of a daddy's girl....and dad doesn't mind this at all! Ryan has a very soft spot in his heart for Lily. I don't think it will ever be too hard for her to get whatever she wants from him :) Lily also loves her brother. Logan is still probably the one that can get her laughing and smiling the most just by looking at her. It is fun to watch them interact with each other. Since Ryan grew up with all boys and I grew up with all girls, we are excited to see how things go with this brother/sister relationship. We truly couldn't feel more blessed to have this little girl in our lives! Lily you are so very loved!!

Here are some stats from her 1 year appt:
Weight 23.8 lbs - 83%
Length 31 in - 94%
Head 18.25 in - 84%

Of course Logan was willing to assist!

Cake & cupcakes

Not quite sure why everyone is standing around singing happy birthday to her :)

Sharing some cake with daddy

At first she was unsure about the cake, after I gave her a little taste of the frosting she clearly warmed up to the idea!

Happy Birthday to our sweet and messy girl! We love you Lil!

Moorlag's Vacation {Sheboygan, WI}

It seems like ages ago already since we were on our Moorlag family vacation in mid August. We stayed on a resort right off Lake Michigan and the views were so relaxing! The kiddos had so much fun playing with their cousins. We are missing everyone, but as always cherish the memories we made together :) Here are some pictures from our time together.
