Lily's Turn!
Finally, Mama let me have a turn writing in the blog. I've been having a lot of fun lately. Mama has been taking me to lots of playgroups and open gyms. I've gotten to run around and play with bunches of other kids. Mama says I'd better enjoy it now because when she loses the bump in her belly and my little brother arrives, we won't be going out as much. Hmmm...wonder why? Well, on to some fun pics!
Don't Really Know What I Was Doing In This Pic
but it looks like I was having fun!
Playing in My Tent
Mama Took Me to the Coffee Shop
Mama said I sit very lady-like, but I need to work on keeping my shoes on.
Playing With Rocks On the Front Stoop
but it looks like I was having fun!
Mama's New Chair
Mama got a new recliner/rocker because she's special. Well, Daddy thought I should try it out for her. Let me tell you, Mama's got a nice chair!! When do I get one???
Hi Lily!
Looks like you're learning to do some karate in that top photo. Maybe Uncle Danny can teach you a few steps. He used to be pretty good. I can't believe that you're outside without a jacket on in November in Kansas--I thought it was cold up there! Guess the weather was waiting to get bad until Auntee Bevee and Uncle Artie got there. With all the toys that you have, I can't believe that Momma got pictures of you playing with rocks. It sounds like you get plenty of play time with all of your gyms and play group times. Thank your Momma for doing such a great job with this site--I love it and appreciate it! Well, I know that you've had an eventful week, Momma hasn't had a chance to post it yet, but I hope that you had a really fun visit with Auntee Beveeee and Uncle Artie.
Love you lots, Little Lily.
Muma
Hi Lily! I have been a bad Auntie. This is my first entry into the blog... but I do check it every week! I love being able to see the new things you can do! I am so glad that I got to come and see you and your mom & dad this fall. I LOVED spending time with you! Happy 2nd Turkey Day~ Love, Auntie Katherine

Mama's Strikes Again!
I'm really enjoying writing in the blog. I find it very fulfilling; somehow, I just feel fuller. HAHA! Oh, don't get me started!
Anywho, the 14th was Ray's Birthday. We had a quiet celebration and the three and a half of us enjoyed Sunday morning and then two and a half of us went out to a movie and dinner. Happy Birthday Ray!
On Saturday, I dropped Junior. Actually, he did all the dropping. He is now resting quite low in my belly and itching to meet us all. I've been able to breathe a little easier, but walking has become more difficult. Also, for the record, I don't think Junior sleeps. He is constantly moving and bouncing; the other night, he bounced a magazine right off my belly! I think we're in for it. I know I was not the best baby for Muma, but I really hope all of her wishes of retaliation are not going to come true. Muma, I'm sorry for all the horrible things I did when I was younger. If anybody wants to hear some good stories, email Muma!
Getting Ready for the Holidays
Miss Lily has found her Santa Hat from last year and has grown quite attached to it. This is a pic of her as she's running by me. You heard me right, this girl now runs!
Close-Up of An Elf
Bean Bag
Lily really enjoys her Bean Bag Chair. We usually put in a video right before dinner so I can go cook/prepare something. If it's a good video, she won't move for 20 minutes! And look at how she loves "Baby". She is going to be such a great "Big Sister".
Hi All,
What a cute elf she makes! She is just toooooo cute, can't wait to see her and all of you. By the way, we didn't forget Rays birthday, we just wanted to make it last, Happy Birthday Ray, we'll bring our gift with us. Lily looks so cute watching tv. See ya soon!!!
Love Aunt Bev
Lily is too cute. She does love that Santa hat. I can't believe how much she's grown in just the last four months! It's amazing. Happy Thanksgiving Fuller's! Hang in there Jen, less than a month.
Aubree
Hi Jennifa!
She is just adorable. I thought we might get to see a pic of your belly????? Don't you have any Chinese Restaurants where you could do a Buddha comparison again? I can't believe how fast Lily is changing. Once she got the hang of being on just two feet, she sure didn't waste any time learning to run! I hope you all have a wonderful visit with Aunt Beveee and Uncle Artie. Take lots of pics--well, never mind--Bev will take them! Talk with you soon.
Love always,
Muma

Mama's Entry and Apology
Dan came up to visit this week. And, in all of the excitement, I forgot to call Aunt Bev and Uncle Art and wish them a "Happy 25th Anniversary" on November 3rd. So, please accept my apology as I grovel on the blog for the whole world to see! Happy 25th Anniversary!
Great Weather
It's been absolutely beautiful out here this past week but we've still had some cool mornings. I've really enjoyed outfitting Lily in her new winter outerwear.
It really wasn't cold enough to warrant a hat, but it was quite windy and Lily is not too keen about wind. Here, she's all tucked in to her car seat with a good book and a blanket that Muma made for her. She loves to poke her fingers through it.
Uncle Dan
Ray picked up Uncle Dan from the airport on Thursday afternoon and got home just in time for a post roast dinner, of which, Lily flatly refused to eat. So, Uncle Dan got to witness two stressed parents and one cranky kid on his first night. Welcome.
The rest of the weekend went a little better. Dan (who, for those of you who don't know, doesn't really like kids) was quite taken with Lily. She won over his heart. He got her up each morning (AT 7AM!). He played with her, "installed" her into her car seat (his words) and by Sunday he finally figured out how to hold her with just one hand while she sat on his hip. Here's how he was carrying her...she was a bit confused.
Orange Jacket
Here's the two of them working to get her jacket on. Dan loves orange so I had Lily put on her "Lily by Lily" gangsta jacket just for him. Getting her hands through the sleeves was one thing; you should have seen him trying to take off her jacket! Really, though, Dan was a great help to me and we had an awesome visit. I can't wait until he comes up again in the spring. Lily can't wait either. The day after he left, she went looking for him in the basement as soon as she got up. What a cutie! (And, yes, we keep our guests in the basement.)
Couch Potatoes
It's not a true visit to the Fuller household unless you watch some Baby Einstein!
Hi All,
Thank you for the wonderful Anniversary wishes, I knew you didn't forget us, we did get your card and gift on time, THANKS! We were so glad to see that Uncle Danny got to go visit. They look like they had fun together, we can't wait for our turn!!! Won't be long now, can't wait to see Lily walking in person. See you all soon!
Love Aunt Bev & Uncle Art
Hi Jennifa!
No picture of you with Danny? I'm glad that you had a fun visit. I was going to call him, and I figured I'd check my e-mail first and then I saw that you updated the site and now here I am writing to you and not calling Dan--oh-oh--two nights in a row. The pics are great, Dan looked like he had a fun time dressing Lily up for the cold weather. She looks so cute in her new winter gear. Well, I'm going to try and give Dan a ring. I miss you! I'm glad that Aunt Beveeee and Uncle Artie will be going there soon. With all this company, the time should pass fast 'til Christmas is there! I love and miss you all.
Muma
