Old Lily Posts

As was mentioned on the Welcome page, part of the reason the blog was created is because I mad an effort to write some things down when Lily was younger and this would be a good way to keep track of the things we want to remember about the kids as they grow.  I found where I had written some things down about Lily from a few years ago and thought I would share a few those this evening.

September 10, 2008 – I’m traveling in Tulsa today and Kasey has just picked up Lily from Octopus Garden.  Beth, her pre-school teacher, reported that during nap time they heard something and look over to find Lily standing there completely naked.  That's my girl!

September 19, 2008 – Lily used the Big Girl Potty at school today for the first time!

September 28, 2008 – Surprise, Lily is going to be a big sister to Twins.  Not sure how to react to this one.

October 9, 2008 – Lily at breakfast with my swim goggles on this morning and still has them as she is playing in the play room. 

December 25, 2008 – All Lily wanted for Christmas this year was chicken nuggets, so along with some toys she got a plate full of chicken nuggets which caused her to break into the “chicken nugget” dance!

January 27, 2009 – They are here!  Abigail Claire was  born at 12:11, she was 4 lbs 5 ozs, and Chloe Belle was born at 12:12 and was 4 lbs 9 ozs.  They are amazing.  Lily has mixed feeling, I tried to show her some pictures of them and she kept closing the picture book on me and saying, "no daddy."  She has a lot going on with everybody in town and the babies here, but she is going to be such a great big sister.

February 8, 2009 – We brought Chloe home today, Abby is another day or 2 away from coming home.  I introduced Chloe to Lily for the first time when Lily woke from her nap, and she did very well.  She thought Chloe was so cute and "shiny" (?), and she thought she made very funny noises.  Lily tried to take her from me at one point because she wanted to hold her, but she settled for a kiss on the cheek.

Things must have gotten pretty busy after that because I quit writing once the twins got home.  One thing I will never forget are the sounds Abby and Chloe used to make as infants in the middle of the night due to their horrible acid reflux.  It sounded like a herd of pterodactyls squawking at us........

Tomorrow should be some more up to the minute info, but it was fun to read back on some of Lily's younger days.

Jeff, Kasey, Lily, Abigail, Chloe and Lawson (aka for the last few days, snot rocket)
