Lily Loves Celina.

Lily just adores her wonderful nanny, Celina. They sing, read, cuddle and have a ton of inside jokes with each other. Lily learned her very first word (besides Mama and Dada) from Celina, "agua." Lily's voice is normally pretty deep and raspy- when she says "agua," however, she says it like a pretty bird, because that is how Celina sounds.

We are very sad to be loosing Celina this winter as she is moving back to Mexico to be with her family. Thank goodness for computer cameras.

She's getting to be such a tall girl!

Finally, a trait from Mama!

Here you see Lily standing in front of her favorite toys- whimsical building blocks from her cousins Erin, Zane and Joli!

The Tilden Farm piglets are only six days old!

And Lily has already gone to visit them twice!

Lily's new ride!

Lily is super stoked about her new Kelty Kids Carrier.

She is so comfy in it, she has fallen fast asleep on every hike! When she wakes up, she often squeals with delight of her new view.

Lily found the....

bowl of sour cream.

Lily's New Cardigan

It is shockingly cute!

Inspiration Point, November 2009

Lily, Brian, Lara and their close friends (and newlyweds) Lizzie and Drew spent last weekend hiking and picnicking in Tilden park at Inspiration Point. The weather was perfect, the food was dee-lish and the conversation was wonderful.

As a part of their wedding registry, Lizzie and Drew graciously requested that donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Lily was super stoked about this and to see that Drew was wearing his "Team Lily" shirt for the outing.

An entire night with Nanna and Grandpa!

Lily has now spent the night with Nanna and Grandpa on several occasions. Every time, Mama and Dada drag out the goodbyes (knowing how much they are going to miss her) and Lily just tries to wave them away as if to say "let the party start!"

It's a good look there, Lily!

She came up with it on her own. It was a fun morning. We of course had the heater up full blast.

Lily's Golden Locks- Long and straight on top and curly behind!

Brian and I aren't quite ready to face the fact that Lily is a big girl and

already in need of her first hair cut. Until we toughen up a tad, she will have to borrow Pebbles' look.
