hellooo

so i decided to start a blog for our little family. this way all of my out of town (thanks to katrina) relatives and everyone else can check out what we've been up to. this stuff is a pretty good idea. dont know why i didnt start one earlier! better late then never i guess!

so lets see. where to start...Lily will be 25 months old tomorrow. where does the time go??? i see all the pregnant ladies in bryans family right now and think "damn...its already been 2 years since i was pregnant???" crazy. feels like just yesterday. but anyway, Lily is doing great. she went to the doctor on monday for her 2 year check up and she is in the 50th %-ile for weight and 95th for height!!!! shes gonna be tall like bryan!! crazy though cuz when she was born she was only 19.5 inches long and stayed short and chubby throughout her babyhood. we so though she was gonna have my height (or lack there of). anyway, she also had to get her little finger pricked to check for anemia (standard procedure-everythings prefect) and she got one big ole shot. my poor baby...she was screaming crying, looking up at me like "why are you letting them hurt me??" it breaks my heart!! but she was over it soon after and kept her little bandaged finger up for all the world to see. :-)

she says a new word every day. yesterday she finally said her name for the first time and it was sooooo flippin' cute!!! Lilys a hard one to say for little ones with those double "L's" in there. i was very proud of my girl. this week we also started going swimming every day at marshalls pool and she just loves it. shes a little fish in that water. i think we are going to enroll her in swim lessons this summer. they have a place that specializes in teaching swim to babies her age.

as for me, ive really dove into wedding planning this week....and its no fun. i thought this stuff was going to be fun! its stressfull!!!! our wedding date is november 14th, 2008 for all who dont know, and we are having the ceremony and reception at the new orleans board of trade. its such a gorgeous place. very old new orleans. it will for sure be a great party!

i will end this blog for now b/c i could just ramble on all night. here are some recent pics of our snuggle pops by the pool. enjoy :-)
