So close to executing the crawl

Lilly has been working so hard on trying to crawl. She has the scoot, the spin and the reverse pretty well mastered. However, forward on the knees remains the big challenge. We're rocking on our knees, but still no forward movement.

Lilly's New Trick

OMGoodness.....two blogs in one day- its a new record!!! Lilly has so many new fun things happening lately that I'm sure I'll be updating the blog more often now. Earlier today we scooted across the floor- then (in an unposted video) she attempted to crawl but slipped on the hard wood floor. Now, during the Lakers-Celtics game, she decided to debut her "Clapping" technique. I lkike to think that she's gearing up for Charger season!!!!

The "Scoot" Master

Yes, my darling sweet daughter has learned how to do the scoot- kind of like that dog in the Stanley Steamer commercial.

She was sitting on her blanket in the living room when she apparently became unsatisfied with my toy selection. So she scooted over to her little toy basket where she decided to go seek out some more entertainment for the day.

Lilly's first Boat Ride

Mehdi's friends, Blaise & Clarice, invited us to join them on their boat this Sunday. They have a little one as well (a few months older than Lilly) and thought it would be fun to get together and share the afternoon with friends.

They were wonderful hosts and we had a great time. It was Lilly's first time on a boat. She thought the rumble of the boat was kind of scary at first (sometimes unfamiliar noises startle her) but after a minute she was fine.

Here's a picture of Clarice, me and the babies. Also a picture of Blaise and Mehdi.

Lilly's First Air Show

My dad invited Lilly and I down to Gillespie Field today for the "Wings over Gillespie" Air Show. He was displaying his airplane for the show and he thought it would be fun for Lilly to get out and see new things. Mehdi was in Fontana for a racing event with his brother, and Lilly and I didn't have anything else planned for the day.

There were a lot of WWII planes & exhibits, old military vehicles as well as a classic car exhibit....really a lot of fun. Lilly wore her Red, White & Blue. GO USA!!!!

We followed with dinner at my parents' place where we enjoyed the great weather on the back patio.

Fun family outing today!!!
