Rollin, rollin, rollin.

Lily rolled over for the first time in mid July. I grabbed my cell phone and taped the 3rd try. -Andrew

On Aug 16th the hospital that Amanda works at had a BBQ at the Aquatic Center and we went to check it out. The water was a little colder than we cared for, but we had a good time. We can't wait to take Lily when she is big enough to enjoy it more. -Andrew

Lily's fairytale room

I suppose we really need to update the blog, but that is more of Amanda's thing. Here are some pictures of Lily's room.



Amanda, her mom, and Dawnett spent hours on it, and while the rest of the house isn't done, Lily's room looks great. Here are a few pictures of the rest of the house. One is of Lily and Dawnett in the living room!

Heeeere's Lily

This is a picture of our angel Lily Maye. She came to us exactly one week early in May, on the same day as Emma Freeman, a first cousin once removed. Lily weighed 7lbs and 13oz, and was 21 inches long! She's definately got the tall genes from her parents. Her dark hair was a big surprise, Mommy was mostly bald until about 18 months, and Daddy had a little light colored hair when he was born, but we were not expecting these long dark
locks! Her eyes have not decided what color they want to be when they grow up, sometimes they look deep blue, and sometimes steel grey. She is experimenting with her voice now and we are loving listening to all her coos and squeals, and even her screams for the most part. She is very alert, always moving her head this way and that to see what's going on around her. We are so in love with her! She is the light in the eyes of her grandparents and family as the first grandbaby for both families.
Lily has already had a few adventures in her 7 weeks of life, the best of all being her first trip to the ocean! We spent a week on the San Diego beach with Daddy's family. She loved the sound of the ocean hitting the sand. When she would get fussy at bedtime Daddy or Grammy would sit out on the porch and hold her and she would quiet down and listen to the peaceful sound of the crashing waves. She had so much fun with all her Freeman aunts and uncles (except uncle Craig Udall who couldn't make it), and with Grammy and Grandpa Freeman. Soon she will begin the adventure of growing and toddling in Kirksville Missouri!
