Happy Birthday!!

Today Lilian turned one year old.  She has been so much fun especially the past couple of months.  It made me think back on how much change has occurred in her year of life.  She has been to 8 states.  By the end of the year she will have lived in two countries, five cities and seven different houses.  What a wild ride, but it has been great.  Things that I miss the most from the first year: swaddling her at night, waking her up in the morning (opposed to her waking us up in the morning), and kicking her legs like she was swimming.  One thing that remains is she was born sucking her bottom lip and she still does it when she is tired.  I'm excited about the next year, but hope that it doesn't go as fast.

 Below are some pics of her growth.

Major Discovery

Lilian finally discovered something that I have been trying to call her attention to for months. Hope you enjoy.

LSU Basketball

We went to LSU's campus to meet some friends and while we were there we decided to take some pictures of Lilian.  We will put those up soon, but this could not wait.  Garret Temple an LSU basketball player was sitting outside of one of the buildings.  We asked if we could take a picture with him and he was more than happy to take one.  I have heard that he was an outstanding guy and after talking with him for a minute, I would agree.  Temple, is the best defender in the NCAA and a great leader.  He is a 6'6" guard.  Allison is standing on a step in the picture.  Geaux Tiger Basketball!!

The Zoo

Lilian went to the zoo last weekend with her cousins.  She had a great time as you can see in the last picture.  

Welcome Home

We just got back home after Orientation on Thursday, and Lilian is having so much fun with family. She really missed her cousin, Laney.

And, her cousin Tyler is teaching her how to climb on and over things.

But, most of all, she's enjoying having a space of her own. Lilian's never had a house before, so she is enjoying every minute of it!

She's even letting her little cousin Caden in on the fun!
