It's been nearly a month...

We have had a busy time over the last few weeks; with Dada out of town we had our annual Hoover family celebration of the longest day of the year. We usually have an ice cream party and a bonfire to ensure the sun will set and rise again. Although with Lilly around now we have eliminated the bonfire; we still had the ice cream. As you can see; Lilly loves her some ice cream!! She also loves her new rocking chair from Eenie and Commadore; when I tell her to go and sit in her chair, her red rocker is her first choice. The following weekend we had the privilege of attending the wedding of our dear neighbors Carole and Matt....what a time, what a time. I was able to get some really good photos of rehearsal and ceremony, but put the camera away as to not document the party....and what a party it was. We have been spending alot of time with our dear friends; Stacey, Pete and their daughter Millie! We did a whirlwind 4th of July complete with pool time, BBQ's, birthday parties, and fireworks of course. We hope that everyone has been as happy and busy as we have been and I will work on posting more as the summer continues.

In Lilly news, she follows instructions very, very well and loves to help Momma with the laundry, and cleaning up. She just today blew bubbles in the pool, but is a water baby to the extreme, she loves the beach and has the tan lines to prove it, she has started really repeating words.....you just have to know what she is trying to say...."baba" can be ball, balloon, bubble, bath, Uncle Bobby, the sound a chicken makes, or a baby, "caarh" is usually just car, "eeela" is usually just for Meg's little girl ella. We are working on new words everyday and I hope to keep increasing her vocabulary. She will answer where questions by pointing or getting objects; Where is Dada? she will point to the backyard. Tomorrow we have her 15 month check up and I will report the results....any weight guesses?
