Why the sad face?

My guess is that Lily was upset about wearing a hood in the heat of the summer. My people get a bit confused sometimes.

More Photos

It's been a while since my last post. I apologize for my absence. Here are some recent pictures. Lily goes for her 9 month pictures this afternoon.

I like to call this picture "Crazy Eyes". I'm not sure who looks creepier me with the two different colored eyes or Lily with that facial expression.



Lily likes to help Katie with the laundry. Here she is sitting in the bucket.


She has also learned that when the camera beeps, it's time to turn up the cheese factor. Here she is hamming it up for the camera.


This was her first trip to the Science Center.

Update

Lily now weighs 14 pounds 8 ounces and stands 26 inches tall. Fortunately, her weight gain is slowing down quite a bit. The doctor even calls her petite. Anyway, I have revised my estimates for her future weight. She is gaining roughly 1 pound per month. At that rate, it will take nearly 40 years for her to approach the 500 pound threshold. That is still a cause for concern, but it is much better than my previous estimate.

Another alarming trend is Lily's height. She has grown 7 inches in 8 months. For simplicity's sake, let's say she is growing at a rate of 1 foot per year. At that rate, she will tower over her average sized parents by the time she is 6 years old. And, the same year she hits 500 pounds, she will be 40 feet tall. I guess that weight doesn't sound so alarming after all.

Lily on the move

I hate my people...

...and they wonder why I chewed a hole in their favorite Mizzou blanket.
