She's Graduated to Toes!!!

 WOW!  Two posts in one day?!?  That is just AH-MAHZiNG!!  I mentioned in the post before this one that Lily Belle has started sucking her toes and yes, here is the proof!  She really only sucks them right before she is getting into the bath and without clothes!  She isn't as restricted!  

 We didn't really think that she would really be able to get her toe to her mouth...but she proved us wrong!

 I laugh every time I see her do this!!

Again, something she will ALWAYS be reminded that she did...and now the video to prove it!!

ENJOY!!!

My Little Doll!

How many times do I go onto cute boutiquey/photography websites and see these adorable pics of half naked babies!  I get a little jealous because 1. I don't have tons of $ to be able to take my baby girl to get her pics done all of the time and 2. Lily Belle isn't sitting up without support quite yet!  The other night I got a wild hair...I was getting Lily Belle ready for her bath and had her sitting on my lap commenting to Adam about how she looks like a little sumo wrestler (I just know my kids are going to be so tired of us telling them how fat they were as babies!) Anyway, I decided that I would try to get a few pics of my baby girl just because I love that belly!!  I put on one of my necklaces just to see what it would look like but thought it made her look like Mr. T!!!  

So, we went without!  Again, I LOVE THAT BELLY!!!  I had so much fun with Caleb as a baby, but things are so different with this sweet gal!  I love my babies SO MUCH! (even when Caleb is his whiney/crying self)!  

You can tell Lily Belle was happy to do a little pose for me!  I even got a little of her thighs which are a sight to see!  Lily Belle has also taken to sucking her toes...we were surprised she could even get them to her mouth, but she manages...again, so funny to see!!  We're going to have some fun stories to tell her when she's older!  I hope that sweet face makes your day like she makes mine!  Enjoy!

Bad Habits and Big Obsession!

 Ahhhhhhhhh Sundays...always the same ol' story.  I try to find Lily Belle a fun outfit to wear to church, put it on her and BAM! Where's the dress??  Oh, it's in Lily's mouth!!!  Side Note: This particular outfit did have matching leggings, but were too small!  I think I spend a majority of the day wiping baby spit off of the bottoms of her dresses!!

 My mom has actually blamed me for giving her things to hold while she's sucking her thumb and I say NUH-UH!!  or maybe...I'll never admit it!!  She's exploring textures...right?!?!

I mean really, this dress had a really cute floral applique design on it, but I don't think anyone got to see it!  She's got a nice white onsie on though, with some cute socks...not shoes (that's another story!)

Oh that sweet face...so innocent looking...but NO!  Caleb has had a healthy Angry Bird obsession for about the past year and a half.  The kid just can't get enough!  It really doesn't help either that they come out with a new Angry Bird game every month!  

A lot of the times we get him the games to play and really all he wants to do is just play with the birds and pigs!  Maybe someday we'll get to play the acutal game!  He has also asked for an Angry Birds Star Wars Birthday this year...we will have to see what I can come up with!  There are definitely going to be some random decorations!

 I just had to throw this one in there!  

 Here we go again!!  I really love the onsie/dress combo...so easy to wear and so cute on!  

 Maybe this is just Lily telling us that she's ready to start solids!!!  OR I just don't feed her enough!!

She has that innocent look down!!

Oh the Nook...another reason we are so Angry Bird obsessed!  I really don't think the games are horrible for Caleb to play, BUT this has definitely become a HUGE incentive in our household for Caleb to get things done!  So sad that it was originally supposed to be for reading books!  We've actually threatened to take all of the games off and just leave the books and I thought Caleb was going to pass out!!  Caleb does well with a set time and every so often I get tears if his time is up and it has to be put away!!  My boy has quite the imagination, and there are many night where he goes to bed with mom telling him my own made up Angry Bird stories!!  

JUMPEROO!!!!

 OKAY...As you all know the Colson kiddos are not born small kiddos!  I am starting to think that my little Lily Belle is larger than Caleb was at 5 months!  She is growing SO FAST, I've already gone through her clothes in her closet that were supposed to last her to her first birthday!!  Along with growing fast, Lily Belle is going a little slow on hitting her milestones!  Rolling over is not on the top of her list, along with sitting up OR standing!  Believe me when we say that yes, we DO practice, and she is trying a little bit harder, (just a little bit) but I felt she needed a little more encouragement!

 Enter the Jumperoo!!  With lack of room for a huge Exersaucer, I decided that this would be the next best thing to get Lily Belle on her feet and moving!  We weren't sure if she was bigger than the weight requirement (25 lbs.), but took a shot anyway!  The doorway didn't break down so I think she is okay!  She absolutely LOVES it!  BOY that baby can BOUNCE!!   I honestly could sit and watch her all day...it is too cute!  She screeches and laughs and smiles, smiles, smiles!!  

 I LOVE the back of her head!  Seriously!  Especially the little bald spot from where she lays all of the time!  

 I am thinking that if we can slim those thunder thighs down a little bit, she'll have an easier time rolling over!  So happy!  This was mid jump!

 Here is a peek of what Lily Belle was looking at!  

 YAY!  This is one of my favorite pictures!!  

Thumb in mouth...that means it's time to be done!!!

I FINALLY got blogger to upload a video!  I wanted to do one more, but it wouldn't let me...BOO!!  Here is a look at our little Jumperoo!  Enjoy!
