The Visit from "Nani" and Cam

Friday, September 19, 2008

I got it! Here are the pictures from when Cam and Natalie came to visit us! We spent one afternoon at the beach. We were just walking along not planning to go down to the water but Lily talked us into it and we spent a long time there! Lily loved it. She still asks for Cam and Natalie and it's so cute when she says, "Cam!" out of the blue.

Something cute not related to Cam and Natalie: Lately she gets really happy/giddy before I put her in her crib. Last night she was laughing and when I closed the door she said, "bye!"

Dinner with Ollie

Ollie and Lily had a sleepover! They had a lot of fun together and these are pictures of them eating their "dinner" of pumpkin pancakes. They've been sick and haven't really played for close to two weeks now. Lily asks for Ollie everyday.





You two make beautiful babies....

Friday, September 5, 2008



When we visited Danielle in California she and Scott went to the bagel store with Lily. Apparently, the guy working there thought they were married and told them, looking at Lily, "You two make beautiful babies." Weird. Gross. And if they were married, it would be true! But, somehow Lily is still cute. Danielle came to visit us for the weekend and we loved having her here. Lily was so excited and was saying "Dani!" days before Danielle got here. This post is long with lots of pictures and explanations so sit down and get ready to see one "beautiful baby!"

The first morning Danielle was here we took her to our second home on Saturdays: THE BONGO ROOM....







It's our favorite brunch place, thanks to Coby and Kristal, and if you've visited or will visit....you WILL experience brunch at the Bongo Room. The night before, Lily had figured out that when she says "shush" she can pick her nose too. She was laughing hysterically the night before so she decided to do it again...




To walk off the yummy breakfast, we went shopping around Wicker Park/Bucktown. We found a children's store. Lily of course loved running around. Scott turned his back on her for a short second and when he turned back she had her shoes off and was trying on these...




I can't wait to get some!

That night we ate some yummy food at AVEC and then dessert at HOT CHOCOLATE. It was all delicious and Lily handled it all very nicely.








Danielle bought Lily a Che shirt so we dressed her in it and took our little revolutionary to the zoo. It was extremely crowded but we were able to get a glimpse at the gorilla's (our favorite) and the lions before Lily was in desperate need of a nap.






The next day we went to the Bongo Room again (because we wanted to and because it was open!) and then off to the fountain and bean. She was ORNERY the whole walk down but she eased up when she got in her swimsuit and played in the fountain. Lily LOVED the fountain. Scott said it was the most fun she's had there. She loves to stick her hands in your mouth and didn't mind getting splashed in the water at all. And of course she had to visit and climb all over her favorite sculpture.


















I know, that was a TON of pictures but there were more and I tried to choose the cutest!!! Thanks for visiting us Danielle! We love you.

I'll let you all know when I get the video of her "touille" dance posted. I also have some cute pics of her and Ollie eating at her little table Scott bought her from Ikea. I'll let you all know, but for now, enjoy!!!
