Second

Shawn and I are new at this second child thing.  We were both first born.  We are constantly amazed by how quickly Lilah picks things up (being as she has an example that's close to her age).  She is determined to be a big girl.  It's kind of sad seeing her develop and change so quickly, but it's also fun to watch as well!

Measuring up at the aquarium in her big girl shoes!

Walking with Mama.  This girl loves to walk holding hands!

Using a spoon all by herself.  Anything she can do to get food into her mouth faster and without help-as her Dad says!

"I'm big enough for a booster mom!"  (Not really, she just thinks so!)

Aqarium Trip 2009

Today we visited the Newport Aquarium with Nana and BOTH of Brian's godparents! Daddy stayed home. After the bed time incident last night, he needed a break!

Brian was pretty sleepy, but he loves FISH and apparently turtles too, so he enjoyed himself for the majority of the visit. He pet two sharks, a crabby and a starfish. He also tried to climb INTO one of the tanks. I guess he wanted to pet a duck too.


This is one of the best places in the aquarium...the big bubbles at the end. Brian fell far, far into the bubble and about gave Nana and LaLa heart attacks!

Brian with both godparents. Although Auntie is hard to see since she's wrestling the monkey...

There is a duck in there and Brian is determined that he will pet it!

Cool jellyfish pic!


Petting the starfish and horseshoe crab!


The aquarium was exhausting!
