6 Months & Her First Taste
We had a great Christmas with our families in NY! It was wonderful to see everyone, and Lily had a lot of fun playing with her cousins Parker and Kayla. Mark and I had a really good time at our 10 year high school reunion - it was nice to catch up with some old friends :) We also had Lily's christening while we were home, at the same church where Mark and I got married. Needless to say, it was a busy holiday!!
I can't believe Lily is going to be six months old this week!!! She still amazes us every day. She is full of personality, sitting up on her own, is just days away from crawling and is working on getting her first tooth! It's hard to imagine that I started this blog a year ago when I was just 12 weeks pregnant. Our lives have changed so dramatically since then, but in wonderful and amazing ways.
Since Lily is SO interested in putting everything she can get her hands on into her mouth, we thought this might be a good time to try her first taste of solid foods yesterday! So far she is a big fan of rice cereal and likes to "help" feed herself with the spoon. I think we are in for some fun (but messy!) meal times from now on!!

Long Overdue Update
Hi Everyone! I am officially a bad blogger for not having posted anything in a month!! Things have been pretty hectic around here since Thanksgiving but we have been taking pictures :) We're packing tonight to go home to Rochester for Christmas. It'll be nice (but COLD!) to have a white Christmas again. With the exception of today (in the 40's), it's been in the 70's here for the last week... I think Rochester is going to be a rude awakening for us!
Lily is doing great and is learning new things every day. She is sitting up on her own, making strides towards crawling and is working on getting a tooth! She babbles to us constantly and squeals with excitement when we tickle her :) The teething also means she drools all over the place, so Mark and I are getting used to having our clothes covered in baby drool... At least Lily gets to show off all her cute outfits since we wind up changing her a few times a day so she can stay dry!
We're looking forward to spending Christmas with our families! Wish us luck for our flight tomorrow!! Have safe travels, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Thanks so much for checking in on us :)

Lazy Sunday Morning & Baby Baldwin
How does the weekend go by so fast?! We are all just hanging out this morning, Mark and I with our coffee and Good Morning America, and Lily with the blankie her Nana gave her. (The little frog in the blanket is named Lily Mae!)
Sorry I have been delinquent in updating the blog lately. Poor Lily has been sick this week with a fever, so she has been generally grumpy and wants to be held all the time. Which I love, but that makes it slightly more difficult to get anything done... Thankfully, she seems to be feeling better this morning, but we do have to go for her 4 month immunizations tomorrow, so she'll probably be feeling a little sad after that appointment :( Other than that, we have been catching up with friends and gearing up for all of our travel over the next 6 weeks or so. Lily's going to need her own frequent flier number for the holidays!
We also want to congratulate our friends Hillary and Quinn on expecting their first baby! We are SO excited for them!!! Hillary is just through her first trimester and is feeling great, which is amazing. We can't wait to meet little Baby Baldwin :) We'll also be anxiously awaiting the announcement of the baby's sex in about 6 weeks! They have a blog as well if you'd like to take a look: www.baby-baldwin.blogspot.com. (Hil is much better at updating their blog than I am with this one!)
Here are some pictures from this morning with the blankie and a few I didn't post at Halloween.
