July

Wakey, wakey!

I love it when she crawls over to my lap!
The fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays. What a fun time to spend with family, staying up late, and playing with fireworks! It was super fun this year. We had a feast of hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixins. We also made Grandma Schilb's famous angel food cake.

Uncle Will and Aunt Lisa frolicking with their sparklers.
Matt enjoyed his share of sparklers. I bet we lit about 50.
It was a hot one, but we had the baby pool to cool off in!
Sweet stuff.
My favorite. Our sweet little firecracker.

Lilly slept through all three nights of war zone fireworks outside. We had a box fan going in her room to drown out the loud noises. Matt and I really enjoyed sitting out on the back porch Monday night watching the sky light up. There were two firework stands that we could see from our house and plenty of neighbors were shooting the fancy kinds. Literally every second was filled with sparkling, glittering lights. There were a few people who released glowing trash bags into the air. Slightly concerning but none of them landed near us :)

She loves noses!!
Standing up like a big girl!
The first time she grabbed the door stop. The noise kind of freaked her out!

On Monday we drove around by Beaver lake to enjoy the scenery and look at land. It was raining and Lilly was taking a good nap. Right before she fell asleep she pooped! We were going to pull over and change her but she literally fell asleep immediately! So the car smelled really nice for the hour and a half nap/drive :) When we changed her (in the car) there was poop everywhere! All over her clothes and car seat!

THEN we were eating at McDonald's and I mixed some new formula that she's never had to her oatmeal. Within minutes she had a red rash and hives around her mouth and on her fingers where the oatmeal had touched! It was super scary! It got better as we drove toward the hospital and prayed for it to go away!

The joys of having a baby!! Wouldn't change a thing...we love that silly girl!
