Lillian got this blue piano for Christmas this year and 'practices' on it daily :)

A Visit From the Ruoss Family!

My very good friend Emily stopped by with her girls, Olivia and Camilla, with a care package! I received lots of much needed essentials, but my favorite were the cold compresses for my milk machines!

Visiting with my girls!

While listening to an array of Kindermusik tunes, the girls dressed up in scarves and danced around the living room!

Yay! Lillian and Olivia dancing!

Camilla and Lillian checking out each others beautiful scarves!

Rock on Livy! Olivia plays some tunes on the piano while Camilla and Lillian get ready to bust-a-move!

Home At Last!

Bringing James home was very surreal... Our family felt more complete with his presence.

Lillian immediately found new interest in her old "baby" toys and put on quite the funny show trying to fit into her old chair :)

After an exciting day welcoming her brother, she had quite the appetite!

Last Hours As An Only Child...

I had my first contraction here! Not at the exact point this photo was taken, but just moments after... They didn't start getting 'regular' (4 minutes apart) until around 8:00 that evening.

Lillian was so super cute! She absolutely LOVES going down the slide!

Last hours before becoming a mommy of two...!

Monkey Bars!

This was the first day Lillian purposefully hung on the bars! Up to this point, she approached them with caution and non commitment :)

Ta-da!!

All by herself!

Hula hoop!

"Look at me, Mom!"

One of Lillian's favorite things to play with at gymnastics are the cones! They make perfect little hats!

What-a-bump!

Hello, James!

Lillian: my cutest, most beautiful and smartest little princes in the world!

Building Blocks!

This morning, Lillian and Keith made a huge tower with wooden blocks!

A lesson in teamwork: Lillian brought each block individually for her Daddy to place on the tower.

The box of blocks: They used all but three blocks to complete their tower! They built the tower one block at a time. For each block, she'd have to walk behind the couch to get it. This process took about 30 minutes, which made the tower building that much more fun!

"I found another cylindrical block, Daddy!"

Lillian: "Here you go!" Daddy: "O.K. now go get another one!"

Our proud little builder!

Keith giving his student a little instruction regarding balance...

"Keeeeeeyaaaaaaa!!" Lillian giving her Daddy a little instruction about the insatiable and unthwarting desire for toddlers to topple towers!

"That was FUN!!! Let's do it again!"
