Build A Bear

We went to Build A Bear with Gianna, Roman, Aunt Stacie & Uncle Toby at Christiana Mall.  We told Lilah several days ahead that we were going and she kept asking us when we were going to "build a bear and play with G & Ro".    The day finally came....Lilah wasn't too into building a bear, but we had fun spending time together.

Lilah finally chose a dog, but she wanted to me to hold her & she did pick out a heart for her pillow.

Ady just hung out in her stroller

After we were all done, we decided to stroll through the mall - the kids had fun just hanging out together.

Nine Months

She is getting so big!  Our happy Ady Jean is all over the place, getting into thing and knocking over little christmas trees.  If you go after her she will start crawl faster & giggle as she goes.  I have a feeling it won't be long before she is pulling up on things....she is wanting to keep up with Lilah.  She has 6 teeth.  She is slowly eating table food and doing pretty good with it too, she loves to eat.  She has mastered the sippy cup.

She & Lilah play pretty well together, her face lights up when she sees Lilah. As I have said before she is very different from Lilah & I love seeing it. She isn't a big fan of riding in the car. She is very close to holding her own bottle....yay!

Life is wonderful having this little girl in our family

Wheels on the Bus

Lilah loves school buses....everytime we see one on the road she points them out to us and sometimes will ask if she can ride on it.  We tell her one day when she goes to school she will get to ride on a school bus.

Lucky for her, GG (her great-grandmother) is school bus driver and has buses parked behind her house.  So this past Sunday we went to GG's house to celebrate Christmas a little early with her, when we got there GG told us that she was going to take us for a ride on the bus!!

Lilah got on the bus & picked her seat, she was very serious, but kept looking at the window.  I also think it was a new experience to be in a big vehicle and not in her carseat.

Ady held onto me very tightly the whole ride while looking out the window - I guess she didn't know what to think about not being in her carseat either :)

Lilah & Ady may not remember this but we have the pictures to prove that their Great Grandmother got to drive them on her school bus.  Fun Times!

34th Street

Baltimore's 34th Street.....where the homeowners go all out decorating the outside of their houses every Christmas season.  They even string lights over the street between the houses.  When the owners sell their house the new owners have to agree to decorate their house for Christmas.  Some houses do more than others, others have themes.

My cousin, Rachel lives a few blocks from this street....this past Friday we went to her house to have dinner with her and walk over to 34th Street. It had been raining off and on all day, so we weren't sure til the end of the day if we were gonna go,but the rain held off and because the weather wasn't the best it wasn't too crowded - Perfect!

Lilah wanted Rachel to carry her the whole time
