Rim

This afternoon Lillian and I went to the local park's basketball court to do drills and dunk.

New Shoes

Nana and Grandpa Osik visited this weekend to help us pack (we're moving to a new apartment on Wednesday). They brought Lillian new sandals.

Sick again

Week number 3, cold number 2. Lillian's nose hasn't stopped running since yesterday afternoon. We're home today playing telescope with toilet paper and waiting for Nana and Grandpa Osik.

After school

After daycare, we went to our local park to swing and yell at the squirrels.

CAPTION CONTEST

This week we are introducing our first caption contest. We invite all of our readers to write-in captions (in the comments section) for this photo. You have until next Sunday (26th).

Swimming!

After taking a week off to recover from her cold, Lillian was back in the pool today, practicing her backstroke.

Sitting forward at the park

Two things of note in this photo: Lillian is sitting up in the stroller (this is a new development), and the long string of drool.

Cheese

Tonight, for dinner, we went to the local cheese shop to get fancy grilled cheese sandwiches and spruce beer.

What Lillian learned at daycare today ...

Back at daycare

Feeling much better, Lillian went back to daycare today. Later this evening, she told Latham all about it.

Beef!

For lunch, Lillian had beef stew for the first time. She loved it!
And subsequently tried to eat all of her toys.

Lillian is 8 months today!

Lost voices

Lillian and I are both sick.
She is not crying because she has lost her voice.
Lilly is, however, interested in the new "eeeep"
noise that she's able to make.
This chilly July morning, to make ourselves feel better,
we went out for a 6am coffee run.

Still sick :(

Lillian is still sick. She cried most of the day today and was consoled only when I let her feed herself.











Here, Lillian is using the latest in baby technology - a mesh food bag with a handle.

... satisfied after her meal of prunes and oats.

Feeling better?

During a brief respite from crying,
Lillian indulges in some
chicken with yams (TM) and barley.

On the fifth day of daycare ...

Lillian went home sick.

Sitting

Lillian has been able to sit on her own for more than a week now!

James visits us for the 4th of July

While I was in the shower,
James and Lillian
gambled online.

Day 2 at the daycare

Putting on disguises.
