Loving My Lillyboo

So, I'm a few days behind, but I wanted to share our first Valentine's Day with our precious daughter. Last February, when Lilly was just the size of a sweet pea (about 6 weeks gestation), we told my parents and Jordan's that we were expecting a baby by giving them a grandparents-to-be card and a pink Valentine's Day bib that said "Baby's First Valentines". This year our little Sweet Pea (Jordan's new nickname for Lilly) actually got to wear the bib...so neat!

The day before Valentines, Jordan and I went on a date A-L-O-N-E! No Lilly, although she was constantly on my mind. A sweet couple from our church were kind enough to watch Lilly while Jordan and I saw a movie and went to lunch. Something we haven't been able to do in a really looooong time. We  saw True Grit (great movie), went to Gloria's for lunch and even took a stroll over to Yogurtville for dessert. YUM! I love my time with my sweet baby, but every once in a while it's nice to take a few hours as a married couple and just enjoy your alone time with your husband.

While Jordan and I were out on the town, Miss Lilly Grace decided she wanted to show off and ROLL OVER for her new friends!!!!!! Jordan and I worked and worked with her the night before to get her to roll over...with no luck. I think when Dave and Laura told us what she had  done, we must have had the look of the proudest parents on earth! I'm pretty sure my cheeks were going numb because I was smiling so much!  Of course, when we tried to get her to roll over again she wasn't ready. It wasn't until a few days after that she decided to show us her new trick.

Anyway, one neat thing about celebrating Valentine's Day in my family, is that Jordan cooks me a nice romantic dinner...homemade pizza...and I get to choose the toppings. He started this tradition in college and has stuck by it ever since. So, on the day of Valentine's Day, Jordan treated Lilly and I to the sweetest dinner. We kept talking about how much fun it will be when Lilly is older and she can help her daddy cook the pizza with him. We exchanged gifts and just had the best time loving on our new family.

What a yummy V-Day dinner made especially for ME!

Lilly and I made this card for Jordan. She/we love him so much!

Jordan and I kinda went crazy for her 1st Valentine's Day.

I saw this on my computer when I turned it on. (FYI Jordan gives me, himself, and Lilly all worm names not to mention the other nicknames he's naming us everyday) Love my crazy man! The worm names all started when we were in high school He asked me to dance and I wouldn't so I just wiggled my finger and called that dancing. From then on I've been Lil' Worm. haha

L-O-V-E my Lilly

I think I'll see this look again in about 13 years. haha

10 Things I I LOVE about Lilly:

1.) She ALWAYS wakes up in the happiest moods.
2.) She holds my finger while she's nursing.
3.) She lights up in the biggest smile when her daddy walks in the room.
4.) She thinks it's funny when she sneezes. She smiles after every sneeze. haha
5.) She let's me put bows on her.
6.)She makes the sweetest sounds when she's sleeping.
7.)She talks to herself and plays with her hand until she falls asleep.
8.) She has the cutest toes.
9.) She's so expressive...just watch out for those eyebrows!
10.) She can be shy, so when she smiles at someone she'll put her hands over her mouth and duck her head in my arm.

....I could keep going, but I said 10 things not 1,000! haha
