Lilianna loves to play piano! See, she is preforming for you right now...

One Year Pictures!

Jumping bean...

Mommy's fav. Look at that scrunched smile. How can you not fall in love?

Smilely girl.

Ready to run. Always ready for action...

We took one year pictures last week. We waited over an hour for a 2 minute photo shoot on our big Friday night outing. All the things no one every tells you before you are a parent! Despite the wait, we were very pleased with the results. She is wearing a beautiful shirt Nana and Poppa brought back from Greece. She is just too cute in it! Enjoy.

The bug gets ready for winter!

It was snowing this morning. Mom got me all ready to go!

See how daddy spent his weekend....

Painting! See our pretty new dining room!

Hanging with my peeps...

Are you going to take another picture?

Yeah, I love Bubba.

This is mine.....stop putting in the cabinet where I can't get at it!

Time for walk, or at least a chance to pull the big dog around...

Feeding myself, can you tell?

One Year Doctor Visit

My doctor says I'm in great health. She says I'm in the 96 percentile height, and 80 percentile weight. Supposedly that translates to 5'-9". By the time I get that tall, my Dad should be there too.

I'm officially one!

I had my first birthday. I tried chocolate cake, and decided it was okay. A little hard to grasp though.

Presents from Grandma and Grandpa. What a beautiful sweater.

Uncle Alan came by and brought me this. It plays music and helps me learn numbers and letters. Thanks Uncle Alan!

More Birthday Pictures

Dad looks silly in that hat. Do I really have to wear one?Fletcher got a hat too.Bring on the cake!

What? All gone?

Aunt Shelly look at me!

Does this look familiar? Straight from Italy.

More from Zoo-Boo

She was just too cute in her puppy outfit. She loves Fletcher, and got a costume to look just like him.

ZooBoo!

Our lil pup went to the Zoo with some friends today! She was ADORABLE!

Laughing at Mom and Fletcher

See me walk!

For those of you who live far away, Lilianna started walking about 3 weeks ago. It took her about a week to figure out how to put a few steps together, and another week to get it. She is now trying to run a bit. We have our hands full!!! Luckily for us she is adorable and tons of fun. She also got her second tooth on the bottom just this morning! Enjoy!

Mama's girl...

Yup, she loves bread! She was wiggling out of her high chair the other night during dinner, that is, until we gave her a bread stick.
No Nana, we didn't let her shove the whole thing in her mouth, really.
See, we took it away.... what a sad face.
Ok, she got a piece back. Crisis averted!

Her smile says it alll....

Runny nose aside, isn't she just the cutest???? She is such a ham...

It's a baby....in a cooler

Surprise!
No so sure about this....

To keep her occupied, we tried just about everything.

Even giving her rides in the cooler. She liked it, at first.

I'm driving in my car....

This past weekend, we celebrated Uncle Jimmy's 40th birthday and Nana & Papa brought a blow-up car that Lilianna LOVED to get in and out of, oh and walk around too. Yes, our little bug took 6 steps on her own this weekend!!!

Little Girls!

Look at these cuties! They could be siblings, with their matching pjs and smiles!
Lili just adores her older cousin Molly. What she really wants are some of Molly's gorgeous curls!
And this one, she has the same expression as the toy!!! Our little ham...

Some updated Lili shots!

She has been a bit difficult in the bath, so we went with bathing in the sink. She still wouldn't sit down. Not sure where she gets her stubborness....

She had a glass, a sippy cup, and our glasses of water. She likes to be fed water with a straw. What a princess.
Notice the shirt, Aunt Shelly?

Russell/ Draper/Williams clan

This summer Lilianna got to take part in the Russell kids' portrait session. This is a cute one of the group. Ages ranged from 10 all they way down to Lili. It was really wonderful to have everyone together. Lili wouldn't stop chewing on her fingers, but at least she wasn't crying!

Sleepy Pickle...

Yes, that is a dill pickle in her hands.
Saving it for later.
