So on another note.. Lily had a wonderful first Christmas!! I'm fairly sure everyone on my blog is on Facebook, so you have seen the fifty thousand pictures either myself or JF has posted...so I will spare you and only post a few haha. Our vacation started in Jax for a few days. She had a great time at her first Cousins Present Exchange. She got an adorable outfit from Logan and spent some quality time with cousin Ava. She got to open presents with her Mimi, Pepaw and uncles. She got a firetruck rideon that has since Christmas pretty much taught her to walk lol. Before you ask, no she isn't walking on her own (taking a few steps frequently this past week) but she is pushing this firetruck around everywhere! She sometimes carries it too...so its clear she can do it on her own!
When we came back she spent Christmas Eve at our place celebrating Pop's (Jim) birthday and opening presents with Aunt Faye, Uncle Pete and all the McAllister Clan! She got some great stuff! Christmas day was also at our place. Nana, Pop and Aunt Jamie and Uncle Jeremy came over to open presents. The amount of books and DVDs the kid got, is unreal lol. She had a great day playing on her school bus playground. She couldn't quite climb up it that day very well, but has become a champ now. She gets up in the drivers seat and steers that thing like she is the driver from the movie Speed lol. We went to Aunt Faye and Uncle Pete's later that afternoon to visit.

( Feb 1)
Lily then took her second plane ride to Canada! She was great on the flight. We got a direct flight and she slept most of it. She was so excited to see everyone! She loved the cold weather. She slept so good. Most nights she didn't make a peep all night! She got to meet so many family members and spend so much quality time with Grand-Maman, Grand-Papa, Uncle Dan and Aunt Julie (Max and Dija too of course!). It was so hard to leave, but I know she had so much fun. We of course get to Skype with them often and Lily loves it!
We have had a few adventures since returning home. She is trying her hardest to walk...well without really trying lol. She will take steps, but knows she can go much faster if she crawls and just seems overall nervous to let go. She will soon I'm sure :) We had a great visit with Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Harting. I'm pretty sure Lily even got some pool time in! We went to the South Florida fair with some friends. Although she is still too young to get much out of it, she loved watching the older kids. We started building the pool. Again, she doesn't really understand what it is yet...but she has loved watching the guys work with the machines and she has already gone in it several times haha.
Some funny videos... the first is in Montreal. Daddy and Grand-Maman practicing her noise making. The second is just today. Nana is trying to feed her lunch while she is letting me know she is not happy I am leaving for work!
