Hi Lily!
It was so great to see you and your Mom again! You have gotten to be such a big girl. You came here and saw the puppies and immediately started saying puppy! Even before saying Mama! You were saying Dada, tho! By the time you left, your top front teeth had come down so that you didn't have fangs anymore and you were saying Mama like you'd been saying it forever! My goodness, how you can change! I'm sure Daddy must have noticed the difference. The pictures Mommy put on of you are adorable--except the blowing bubbles out your nose--she has got to teach you that that is definitely not ladylike!
Anyways, it was so much fun having you here. You sure do keep everyone on their toes. I think a playpen is in order for your next visit--if only for a few minutes of relaxation and not wondering where you are headed next! I love you and miss you so much already. The house is way too quiet and there's no one screaming for food--gee, I wonder who would do that? Maybe I should teach Grandpa to--NOT!
Pretty soon we'll be talking on the phone--it'll be so much fun! Hugs and kisses and big thanks for the visit!
Love always,
Muma

Hi Little Lily!
Oh, my, I can't wait to see you! You are growing up so fast! You sit up by yourself, and you're crawling--I'm missing soooooo much! I love you to pieces and can't wait for May 30th! Your Houdini act is getting pretty good. Houdini couldn't have done much better himself! Poor Gracie, though, you're going to have to leave her bed alone! Momma's going to have to find Gracie a hiding place soon.
Well, it's late. I miss you and I'm counting the days! Momma does such a good job with this blog, tho, that I really feel like I'm clost by.
'Course all the phone calls help too!
Take care. Hugs and Kisses
Love You
Muma

HI Lily!
I love your bath time pictures. You sure do look like you enjoy it. I bet in a couple of years you'll be swimming like a fish--it seems that you already know how to make a fish face! I must admit that I like the smiling ones better, but your Momma has quite a sense of humor. Take care and give Momma lots of hugs from me!
Love you,
Muma

Hi Lily!
Happy 8 month birthday! I just love the picture of you in your Easter dress! 'Course, I love all of them, but I do have my favorites. The one of you holding up your teddy to get his picture taken too is quite cute! You looked like you really enjoyed you ride in the swing. Tell Mommy that Daddy pushes you higher 'cause guys are braver than girls--she should know that by now! I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well. I hope you get better real quick! You're going on an airplane in just a few days! I hope you all have a great time in California. Be sure to tell Aunt Kari and Uncle Geoff that we said hi!
I love and miss you all. I have to start looking into a flight there is May--maybe over Memorial Day weekend!
Love and hugs and kisses
Muma

Hi Lily!
I'm not too sure I'm in agreement with your Momma about choice of pics to put on this site, but you still are cute! Your hair is growing!!!!!!!!!! Sticking out your tongue, while fun for you is not one of your prettier sides! Neither is screaming! Nor binki-face! I'm sure that your Mom is holding back a photo or two of you that is really cute--you know, like one with the Easter Bunny?????? Well, all right, you really don't need any props to be cute, but. . . it wouldn't hurt!
Sorry, Jennifa, I cna't help but pick on you a little. I love you!!!!
I miss you all! LOTS
Love you
Muma

Hi Lily!
I can't believe that I haven't written to you in two weeks! You are so cute! I love the picture of you smiling around your bottle. You are always so happy--specially when you are being fed! Tony looks like a cute kid! Just let him know that you are too young for kisses and when you are older your Daddy is going to lock you in the closet so that you don't get to go out on dates! Last weeks pictures were cute too. Looks like you kinda clashed witht he stroller. Mom will get the hang of back lighting with a little practice. She's pretty good with the camera. I love all the pictures she takes. I have to share the disc she sent me with Auntie Bevveeee tomorrow, and then we see who prints out the best pictures of you! She just made me some labels with your pictures on them--too cute! She really is the bestest Auntie--she may not write to you often, but she loves you very much! Take care and Hi to Mommy and Daddy. Oh yeah, congrats on the new tooth!
Love you lots,
Muma

Hi Little Lily!
You are just too cute! I love you in all of your new outfits. Guess we girls all have just too much fun shopping! Actually, it's wonderful to have a little girl to shop for! I love the pics of you rolling over--your Momma is just great with the camera! She must spend an awful lot of time taking pictures of you. It's a good thing that she doesn't have to work--I don't know when she could squeeze work into her schedule!
Well, I miss you lots--I'll have to work on a trip to Kansas! Tell Momma we all appreciate her keeping this up to date and we forgive her for being late--it was worth the wait!
Love you!
Muma

Hi Lily!
Your Momma is slipping. Here it is, your seven month birthday and I don't see any new picture or update yet--guess she was too busy getting ready for her stove to be fixed! Hope it's all done and she can cook you some fabulous meals again! I hear that your newest snack is cheerios that you can put in your mouth by yourself--you're such a big girl now! And beautiful too! It was so nice having you here to visit, I can't wait to see you again!
Love you!
Muma

Hi Lily, I'm so sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with you ( & Mom)..I'm especially sad that you didn't get to meet Harper this time either..he's a "pro" at this tooth thing,plus he's a walkin around with his little walker..why he could "go fetch" stuff for ya!! Ha! Next time for sure..take care!

Harper King's Grandma

Hey Lily, you are too cute...can't wait to see you again,it will be just a few days...oh yeah,bring Mama with you...ok!

Harper King's Grandma

Hi Lily!
Aren't you just the cutest little thing!!!! Mommy sure got some nice pictures of you. I love the bath series. Your mouth is actually closed in a couple of those--well, closed around your tongue in a couple, but I love you with your open mouth--it's always smiling! You do have the most beautiful smile. I'm looking forward to seeing you and hearing you laugh real soon! Just a little over a week now. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing your Mommy too! Too bad Daddy has to stay home and take care of Smooshie! Your in my thoughts and in my heart--I love you!
Muma

Hi Little Lily!
Your Mommy told me to check out the site today. You are just too adorable! And yes, there's no doubt about it, your hair is red and I guess, is going to stay that way! I'm so glad! Your Mom has the most beautiful shade of red there is and I hope that you get that from her! But, no matter what shade of red, yours will be beautiful--just like you! And right now, your cheeks match the color. Teething is no fun, not for you or Mommy and Daddy, but I promise, life gets better! Well, take care of yourself--oh, that's what Mom and Dad are for. Let them take care of you! I can't wait to see you--and hold you--and kiss you!
Just a little while longer.
Love,
Muma

Hi Little Lily!
You are sooo cute! Do I write that too much? Of course not, you can never be told too often how beautiful you are! I can't wait to see what Mom has to say about you next! Or what else she has to tell us that you have done. We are so blessed to have you and I, for one, can't wait to see you again. It's just a little over two weeks now and you will be here in sunny Florida again! It won't be too many visits here and Auntie Bev will have you on a river trip! Well, just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. Make sure Mom keeps us posted!
Love you
Muma

Hi Lily,
How beautiful you are!
A new little star in the sky!
Your parents will be very proud!
Your ebay friend,
Kristian's mom

Hello Lovely Lily, just chkd out your pix and you sure are beautiful! In so many of the pix you looked just like your Mom. Can't believe how fast you are growing. You are such a lucky tyke to have a wonderful Mom & Dad and actually the whoe family who love and cherish you sooooo! You evidently will be following in Mom & Dad's line of computer work, you looked really interested in that magazine. Love the surprised and great expressions your Mom captures. And Lilys wardrobe is outstanding!! Love to all of you, Mary & Bully

Dear Little Lily!
I'm so glad that you are feeling better. Your Mommy and Daddy too. It's no fun being sick. I love your new play nest. It looks like so much fun! I know that you are brilliant, but I can't believe that you were reading that magazine. From your expressions, though, it sure did look like it! I'm glad that your Mommy is having fun with her camera. I hear that I'll soon be getting a DVD with pictures of you. I can't wait! Actually, I can't wait to see you again. It won't be long now. Less than a month! Keep feeling better and give your Mom a kiss from me!
Love always,
Muma

Hi Lily!
Boy it sure has been a long time since I posted a note, but I check your site at least a couple of times a week!!! It is always a pick me up to see your cute photos. Your mom is getting soooooo good at it and you are such a great model! Uncle Art misses you so much too! We talk about you all the time and I show him your website once a week. He brags about you to everyone too! Can't wait to see you next month!!!
Uncle Art is already shopping for your next visit. See you soon. Love Aunt Bev

Hi Little Lily!
I'm sorry that I've been so long in dropping you a line, but work has been keeping me very busy. No excuse, though, to neglect visiting you on the web! You are just toooo cute! I love the black and white photo--actually I love them all! Looks like you have a playmate--Gracie! I'm glad that she shares. We'll have to make a note that she plays well with others. I hope that you are feeling better. It was real nice of you to share your cold with your Mom and Dad. Actually, that's the type of thing that you are supposed to keep to yourself! I hope that they are feeling better too. Take good care of yourself and Mom will surely give you a great big kiss and hug from me. Looking forward to seeing you in about five weeks. Love you lots!
Muma

Nana was just bragging about you in your OU (go OU) cheerleading outfit. Nana and I are about to go to the hot tub so she showed me your picture. I think Nana will be very proud watching you cheerlead (or be a pompon girl) for OU.

You are adorable. I will try to be better at checking your web site. Mama is very clever.

Hi Little Lily!
You grow cuter and cuter every day! I just love all of the pics Mom got of you! It's still hard to find one of you with your mouth not open (unless it's around a bottle) so your getting to be more and more like your Mom every day! Sorry, Jennifa!!
Look at how big you've grown!!!!!! Holding your own bottle too! I can't wait to see you again. I know it's coming soon--it's just not soon enough! Thank goodness that we have this blog, though.
I hear that you rolled over again. Way to go! Pretty soon Mom will be chasing you all over the house and saying, "remember when she just used to stay in one place and amuse herself."
Well, goodnight for now, little one. I miss you and love you. Tell Mom to give you a great big hug from me!
Love you
Muma

What a beautiful baby you have there - you must be very proud - take care Stacey (ebay)

Hello Lily! You are so cute I couldn't resist leaving you a message. I can't believe you are using the computer already! You must get that from your parents. I love looking at your blog and seeing how you are growing, and reading all your comments. You have already developed a good sense of humor! :) Thanks for coming to visit us at American Century when you come in to see your Daddy, and for keeping us updated on all the things you are learning. And also for letting your Mommy take all those pictures of you! See you later! -Amy

Dear Little Lily,
How I loved having you here for a visit. You've grown sooo much since I last saw you and that was just a couple of months ago. You even grew in the two weeks you were here. You have the most beautiful smile and you showed it to us often. You kept with your schedule and slept through the night (thank you, thank you, thank you), plus took naps during the day. It was great to bring you around and show you off to all my new friends. They all said that you are the prettiest baby ever! Of course, I knew that already. Some fo them even said hi to your Mom! I think that she kind of felt left out--everyone used to make a fuss over her--and now, it's all about you! Well, give your Mom a kiss for me, and have her give you a kiss and a big hug from me! All Uncle Artie talks about is you and what a wonderful and beautiful baby you are. He'll probably have to move to Kansas--or at least go visit.
Keep smiling and stay the happy baby that you are. I loved having you here and look forward to your next visit. I miss you so much already. Love and kisses,
Muma

Lily, you are beautiful. We just visited your web site and absolutly fell in love with your pictures. You give out smiles like the IRS gives out tax bills. We look forward to seeing you in person as soon as possible. We will be visiting with your grandma this Feb. I am sure she can keep us filled in on all the latest happinings. Keep smiling and we will look in you you from time to time.
Love,
Dick & Dianne Tremblay

Dear Little Lily,
I just saw you in your little jolly jump up. My, aren't you getting to be such a big girl. It looked like such fun, even Gracie got in the picture. What where the sound effects, though. Sounded kinda like a toilet flushing????? You have the greatest Mom and Dad to keep this cool site up for all of us. The pictures your Mom posted about you and your first Thanksgiving were great! Cute pic of your cousin, 32 times removed. He's cute, too bad you're related! Well, it's getting late, and I'm getting old--and tired. You are soooo cute and I look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks. We'll make sure we have all the things you like to play with or on or in to keep you happy. Keep smiling and laughing.
Love you lots and lots,
Muma

Dear Little Lily,
They really did hear a "tink"! You have your first tooth! I can't believe that your Mom and Dad got a picture of it! They are good! You grow more beautiful every day. You look pretty in purple--Aunt Alma will have to see that picture! Mommy called me tonight and I got to hear you laugh--what a wonderful sound. I hope that Mom and Dad can find a way to put it on the blog. It made me want to laugh right along with you. You are growing up so fast. I can't wait to see you. Christmas is coming fast--I'm not ready, no presents bought, but I sure am ready to see you! Keep laughing. I love you!
Muma

Hi Lily!
I just checked out your three month birthday site. You are soooo adorable! A new tooth! You are growing up so fast. It's so wonderful that you are sleeping through the night. It's made such a difference in your Mom's disposition! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you enjoy your trip to Oklahoma and your visit with your Dad's family! Next year you'll be having turkey with them!
Lots of love,
Muma

Hi Little Lily!
You sure are growing up soooo fast! I love the side by side pic of you in the outfit that was a little big for you two months ago. I bet Mom really did shrink it in the wash. It doesn't seem like you could grow that fast. Then again, you sure are doing a good job of eating well! I also love the pic of you and your Dad. Tell Daddy to take a picture of you with Mommy! Keep being good. I miss you! Hugs and kisses.
Love Muma

Hi Lily!
Just a little note to say that I checked out the newest pictures and notes from Mommy and you are just too cute for words. You have the prettiest blue eyes and a smile that melts my heart! I am so looking forward to Christmas, and if all goes well, I get to take care of you for a couple of days. We'll have such fun. Of course, we'll have fun when your Mom and Dad are here too, but it'll be nice to have some alone time!
Take care, sweetie, I love you.
Muma

Hi Lily!
I talked with your Mom today after she talked with your Grandpa and I heard that he suggested spelling your name Lilli--kinda cute! I'll love you no matter how they spell it! I just looked through all the pictures that your Mom put on here and your are just too darn cute! She got you with some beautiful expressions. A couple of them really reminded me of your Mom when she was just a baby--she'll let you know which ones those were. Anyway, I just had to let you know how cute you are. Keep up the good work with letting your Mom and Dad get some sleep. I love and miss you.
Muma

Ms. Lilly you grow more beautiful each week. You look so much like your Daddy, sorry Mom but she is a Fuller for sure! All the OK relatives are looking forward to your visit in a couple of weeks. We have lots of hugs and kisses for you!

Hi Little Genius Baby!
Look at you sitting up all by yourself in the high chair! You sure are cute! I'm so glad that your Mom does this sight for us. I't almost as much fun as seeing you in person--well, no it isn't really, but it is nice to watch you grow! I am soooo looking forward to Christmas! I can't figure out what we'll be getting for you because Mom says you don't need more clothes and you've already got everything you need. Toys. . .toys. . .and more toys! All right!
Well, you keep being good and work on that schedule for Mom and Dad. Your Mommy really needs her sleep 'cause she's not much fun when she's tired! Kisses and hugs.
Love,
Muma

Hi Lily!
You are just too cute! I just got the word from your Mom that we are to stop buying clothes for you! Looking at the pictures, I can't understand why--you seem to be growing out of them so fast!!! But, we'll try to hold off 'til Christmas. We had the best time with you. It was nice to have a baby in the house--specially. . .you! We're all looking forward to Christmas--you change so fast and we hate to miss out on all those changes. Thank goodness your Mommy keeps this site so up to date for all of us. It makes us all feel closer. You're beautiful and I miss you. I miss your Mom too. But, Christmas is getting closer and we'll get to see all of you then. I'm sorry that you had to go to the doctor today and get shots--even sorrier that I haven't been able to get your Mom to realize that they really don't hurt. Some day she'll grow up to be a wonderful woman (ooops, she already did that) okay, a brave woman (that may never happen--I know what she's like when she has to get a shot--have her tell you about her senior years shots that I had to have before she would). Okay, time for bed--for me. I love and miss you. Hugs and Kisses. Be good for Mom and Dad.
Love,
Muma

Hi Jen, Ray, Lily,
I haven't called yet because I thought you might be trying to catch up on sleep and I didn't want to wake you. It was soooooooo good to see you both. Art can't stop talking about Lily. He is so proud of the fact that when he holds her she is so good. And of course she is the first baby he has actually held. Must be beginners luck. Well anyway we were so glad you came with Lily so we could see her, I know it was a lot of work for you, but much appreciated on our end.
Lily is such a doll! We can't wait for Christmas so we can see her again! And I checked out your blog and saw you have it up to date already. It is really neat to be able to see the changes in her week to week there. I know that's a lot of work too, but we really do enjoy it! THANKS!!!
Well talk to you soon, love you and miss you already.
Love Aunt Bev

She is just too cute!!! I am definitely seeing more of Ray in that sweet little face. Ooh Jen, you must be having such a great time! It is so wonderful to be seeing all these pix. Fantastic site. Love ya's, Mary & Peter

Here's a poem that Ray wrote for me one day when I was feeling sad.

Thank You

Thank you for feeding the pumpkin,
all night long and way beyond the mornin'
Thank you for running the dishwasher, unloading it too
and thank you for changing diapers that are filled with goo.
Thank you for making our home such a wonderful place
and thank you for giving me sleep so I can run the rat race.
Thank you for tackling the laundry
and thank you for keeping our tumblies from the horrible rumblies.
Thank you for always being there
and most of all thank you for just being you!

Ooooh, I am so excited to see Lily's Baby Blog. I didn't know it was here til Grandmuma put it in her newsletter. Lily, you are so beautiful and you are such a lucky baby to have the wonderful loving Mom, Dad and Grandparents, also many loving friends. Jen, this site is great, how do you find time? Please keep it up so we can continue to see Lily's progress. Thanks to Aunt Bevy's Boutique you must feel like Lily is a fashion model. I am so happy and proud for you and Ray, what a wonderful FAMILY you make. Love Mary & Peter

Hi Lily!
I just checked out all the work Mom did getting the Blog updated. You are sooooo cute! I miss you, but I'm happy knowing that your Aunt Beveeee is going to see you this week and after that it'll be only two weeks before you come to visit us!! You're Grandpa and your Memere and Pepere are anxious to see you too. Your Memere can't wait to hold you and hug you and kiss you. Everytime she tries to write to you, she starts to cry. We'll all be fighting over who gets to hold you--until it's diaper changing time, then I'm sure they'll gladly hand you over to me or your Mom.
Well that's all for now. Have a wonderful one month birthday and keep being good for your Mommy and Daddy.
Love you lots.
Grandmuma

Hi Lily!
It was so wonderful to visit with you and your Mom and Dad. I had the best time! You are so beautiful. I miss you already. The hugs and kisses just aren't the same from the puppies--though I have to tell you, they really missed me. Poor Li'l Bit wouldn't stop howling once she saw me. I think you all should move closer. What do you think, Dad?????? Well, all right. I guess I'll just have to settle for lots of visits. Your Mom will be giving you lots of lovin from me. I love you lots!
Grandmuma

Hi cousin, welcome to the family your such a qute kid. you take care of your mommy and daddy okay. Ray and Jen you must be very happy right now. the baby blog is a great idea since the familys all over the place, and to keep posted on new events in her growth. keep up the good work.

love ya, Gina

Hi Lily!
You are prettier than your pictures! It is so great to be able to give you a hug and lots of kisses. Your Mom & Dad are so lucky to have such a good and beautiful little girl! They have gone out on a date and I am babysitting you. After a little screaming, just to let me know that you're the boss, you have settled down and are being so good. I will always remember this as one of my favorite weeks--the week I got to spend with you and your Mom & Dad.
Love you always,
Grandmuma

Hi Lily!
Just four more days and I get to hold you, I can't wait!!! Your Mommy did a beautiful job getting this blog (whatever that is) together for you. The pictures are adorable--but that's cause you are! What a wonderful way for all of us to stay in touch and watch you as you grow. Mommy said that you were a real good girl today. You got to go to the coffee shop and everyone there loved you! Mommy even got to have a nice cup of coffee. She said that you took a nice long nap today. I hope that that doesn't mean you'll be up all night! I love you and I'll see you real soon!
Grandmuma

Lily,
You are precious. You have the most wonderful Mom and Dad. I have yet to hold you, but in just 9 days I'll be there and I'll make up for those moments that I've missed. Though, I may be far away, you are loved and are always in my thoughts. Your Mom and Dad will have to give you lots of hugs and kisses from me, but know that they come from my heart.
Love you dearly.
Your Grandmuma

Congratulations! It looks like Lillian was delivered OTOBOS and she's a cutie also! I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well, also it seems like on the next delivery you will have to live very close to the hospital.

I am looking forward to more pictures and maybe even a live visit when everyone is up to it. I'll be practicing my oohing and aahing.....

Please baby baby please!

For mommy's sake I sure hope you decide to come see us soon. We are ready to greet you and are bubbling with anticipation around your arrival.

Hi Lily.
It's August 15 and I think that you should make your appearance today. This is the day that Daddy said you would arrive and it would please him greatly if you proved him right. You have already proven me wrong, I had picked August 12th. Silly Me. We had some false labor again last night; nice labor pains, but no baby. You seem to be glued in; either that or holding on for dear life!

Mommy can't wait for you to get here! It's August 14th and you are not "due" for another 5 days, but Mommy thinks you are on your way! We're 4 CM's dialated and 65% effaced, but you don't seem to think it's time. I bet you are holding on to the sides!!! I feel you moving around a bunch, so I know your healthy. We're ready when you are!
