It's been a quiet week. Mama's getting big and is slow to move...makes life really fun!! M&D have been talking about names for my little brother. I don't think they are going to figure it out until he's actually born. Names are added and changed weekly. The two main choices right now are Jonathan and Russell. Daddy mentioned something about naming him Jedidiah or Octane...Mama could have swiftly knocked him on his feet if looks could do that. Well, enough about them, I've been teething. I got my four cuspids in all at once. Check out my Tooth Chart!

New Season Brings New Clothes!
Here I am in a cute outfit from MUMA!!! It's so warm and cozy and I love playing with the bear on the front. (The snazzy new shoes are from Mama.)


Who Has Red Hair?


Two Cents

Hi Jennifa!
Hey, usually you knock someone off their feet, not on--but I know--you do things your way! Oh myyyyy, but is she red!!! I love it! She certainly is getting more hair and it's growing too. It doesn't look like it's curling much, tho, so I don't know if she'll have your ringlets. The new shoes you bought her match her outfit quite nicely. Good Job! Thanks for the pics and I can't wait to see you--Christmas is just around the corner!
Love you all,
Muma

Okay, you caught me. I was going to change "on" to "off" because I caught it last night, but now that you pointed it out to the world, I'll just have to fess up to Placenta Brain! :-)

Hi All,
I knew what you meant! Anyways she's getting soooo big, we can't wait to see her next month. Uncle Art makes me play the video over and over. He especially likes the chapter with his name in it. Forgot to write last week, Hi to Kat, she still looks the same!!!! Well we'll be off shopping for some more noisy toys Lily, see you soon!! Love Aunt Bev & Uncle Art

I can't believe how big Lily is, Wow! I love that red hair too, even if it isn't curly. Hmmmm, names for the coming feature, I really do like Jedidiah, but, nix on Octane. Lily looks so wonderful. Happy & healthy with such a loving M&D. Soimeday I will get to see her in peron. Love toyou all, Mary

All Snuggled In
Nothing like a good snuggle in my bean bag with my blanket, sippee cup and a good video!



Dress For Mess Day At Parents As Teachers
M&D and I went to the place where I go to play group and they had the whole area set up for painting, play-doh, squishy stuff, beans, rice, you name it! I had so much fun painting...as you can see in these pics.












We Need Some Extra Storage
On the ride home from "dress for Mess" I found a great new place to store my toys and my sippee cup. (Yes, that is JUST paint on my face!)

Dear Little Lily,
You are priceless! It looked like you had such a good time painting. Did Mommy and Daddy hang your picture on the fridge? Looking at the pictures though, they may have had to hang the cardboard box that you were using for a table, 'cause I think there was more paint on there than on your piece of paper!
You're also getting pretty creative with "your" space. Storing your toys and sippee cup behind your head was such a great idea! Lots of room left on your lap for other things!
Tell your Momma to give you a kiss from me and give her one too! I miss you all so much.
I LOVE my video. You are just too cute. I watched it twice last night and again this morning with Memere! If Grandpa would just go to bed, I'd watch it again now!
Love always,
Muma

Lily, you are just precious!...and so remind me of your daddy when he used to paint and glue! Love and kisses from Nanna!

Playing At The Mall
Mama brings me to the Great Mall to play in their cool play area. Now that I'm beginning to walk, it's getting to be more fun!



First McDonald's Hamburger
And I ate the WHOLE thing!



Learning To Read
(Daddy took this picture. If Mama had, she would have at least turned the book upright!)



Friends From New England
This weekend, Mama's friend Katherine and her boyfriend Nick came to visit. We all had a great time and I really love Nick. He's my sweetheart. He let me play with his cell phone and won me over. Auntie Katherine spoiled me rotten. She sent me this outfit for my birthday (along with another one!) and then came with a bunch of toys, including a Boston Red Sox hat that I can grow into! I was very sad to see them leave.

Wow Jennifa,
I knew that Lily was smart, but she can even read upside down--cool! Hey, that mall play area looks like a giant food court! Was that slide a piece of bacon??? I'm glad that you had fun with Kat--she still looks the same. (Kat, when you read this I need your new address!)
Love you all!

Mama's Turn
This is Mama's entry. It's been a while since I've posted and I thought Lily could use a break since she's been so focused on walking. That, and she doesn't mention her little brother hardly at all. Although, who can blame her; she thinks Mama's just gaining a little too much around the mid-section! Needless to say, Little XD is doing well. He really enjoys summersaults, especially around 3 or 4 or 5 in the morning. He's quite the little acrobat! His room is almost done. Daddy just had a few more things to paint and then we need to bring in the furniture. Oh, and the entire window needs to be replaced, but that's a story for another time.
On to some exciting things! Here at the Fuller household we had a screened in porch built on where the deck used to be. It's great now that it's finally finished and everyone has healed. For those of you who weren't aware, the guy building it fell off and broke his collar bone and 5 ribs on his bounce down. Did we mention that the porch is on the second story? It was pretty scary, but he recovered quite nicely and did a great job!
Here's a pic of Lily's new porch.



Oh My!
The picture says it all. Gracie and Lily love to play together and most times, I think Gracie has more fun! She is the BLUR in this picture. She was in the tent and really didn't want to be cornered in there by Lily. So, a simple distraction and the dog is FREE! Go Mama!



A Game Of Tag



Couch Potatoes
Daddy caught us one night lounging on the couch watching Baby Einstein or some other highly distractible show.



Paper Hats
On Saturday Daddy thought it would be fun to make paper hats out of newspaper. Lily did a great job with hers and Daddy made one for Mama. Aren't we cute? Yes, I have a death grip on Lily to get her to sit still and not take the hat off!



Happily Playing With Rocks
Lily loves to sit out in the driveway and play with rocks. She loves to horde them!



No Longer Happily Playing With Rocks
Lily is not appreciative of those who take her rocks away. Just look at her face!



Happily Playing With BIG Rocks

Hey Jennifa!
Your porch looks great! Wow, what a nice addition to an already beautiful (and big) house. You'll get so much use out of that room, I'm sure you will love it! You and Lily make great couch potatoes. The only thing you have to learn, is that a true couch potato never lets the remote out of his hands--someone else may take it!
Lily is getting to be such a big girl. Where are the big rocks she's trying to climb?
The hats are cute--good job, Ray!--and I love her playing with the rocks. Good shot of the evil face--did she roll her eyes too, or does she save that just for Muma?
Thanks for keeping this site up. We do love it!
Love you too!
Muma

Those big rocks are in our back yard at the bottom of the hill. Hours of fun any time you like!
