Settling in and Doodlebopping

This past Friday, we took Lily to the Coliseum to see characters from one of her favorite morning shows, the Doodlebops. Jeff and I really do not enjoy watching this show, but it really was an enjoyable concert, and I got to meet them all in person. I have to say I was a little star struck seeing the real Doodlebops. I was surprised to see that they were really the same people as on the show! I can't believe I was actually a little excited to see DeeDee Doodle get off the elevator. We watched the show up in a suite with some of my other co-workers and their kids. Lily was by far the most entertained. She danced, shouted, and pointed. She loved it!

Other than that, we haven't had anything else too exciting going on. We are just trying to get settled in our new house. This past Saturday our sectional was delivered, which has made getting settled a whole lot more comfortable. It is so big and cozy. We spent Saturday and Sunday trying to find and claim our favorite spots. Around the house, Jeff has a few more little projects that he wants to do, but nothing too major.

Lily is approaching her 1st Birthday fast! This last month she has changed and learned so much.
She has added a few more words to her list, including: cheese, doggie, hi, pretty, Mama, ball, baby, Daddy, Mimi, Papa, Papoo, Pat, and our favorite, thank you. For the most part, she uses "thank you" in the correct context. She can now make it up the stairs in under a minute and has taught herself how to go down on her belly and get down off the couch the same way. She still loves the movie Meet the Robinsons, and we have not found another movie that will hold her attention as well. In the last few days she has graduated from formula to whole milk, and we are working on weening her from nursing as well. She still wakes up every morning and yells for her dad, but now she thankfully has days when she wants her mama, too.
