Long time with no update huh?
Okay so I suck at this whole keeping livejournal up to date thing. Myspace is though, so I'm not a total failure!
Lily's almost half a year old now! Can you believe it?! I sure can't. She can almost sit up on her own now... well I take that back, she can for a long long long time but sometimes she'll go diving for a toy and end up bonking her head, which results in tears, but she's a baby, she's got a big head, and it's bound to happen!
We've been so busy! Dustin's working two jobs, one for 35$ an hour, and I'm still working like crazy and I'll be taking some classes... take that back ONE class this semester, but I'm accepted into the Medical coding program! Yay! I figured I'd start off with one class and see if i'll be able to handle two in spring semester. Lily is just such a big priority and so much work (like i expected different?) but she'll never be little again and so I have to put her first. Anyway one class this semester and I only have to take 7 to graduate. I'm very commited now.
Dustin will be taking classes to become a steamfitter too. He's really excited about it. We've been talking about getting married too, even have a ring picked out (finally), but we're waiting because we both have some issues we need tow ork on on first.
So anyway we've been going and seeing all the grandparents and great grandparents all the time, and we went to Dustin's family cabin a couple weeks ago, that was fun. This weekend my sister was in town so we got to hang out with her. She's growing up so fast! She'll graduate next spring!
So Lily babbles all the time. She says "mim" a lot, I think that's mom.. but the Dr. tells me it's too early. She thinks Dustin is the funniest person in the world. She loves my dad because he plays space-baby with her. (holding her high above his head and walking around, 'orbiting' things.) She knows who he is too, if I say "where's grandpa?" she'll look around till she finds him. Right now she's sitting in her swing, which we put next to the computer (OH the NEW computer haha... laptop took a nice crap on me) She's swinging listening to U2 and sucking on her toes. Big smile for Mommy! She also loves rolling over, she does it all the time and can get somewhere if there's something she wants. It's amazing to watch her grow! She used to have no control over her hands now she can reach for something, put it in her mouth, or bang it against something, throw it down.. or at Mommy, and then pick it up again without looking, or put it int he other hand. She loves pulling off glasses and pulling on hair.. gotta work on that one.
She still sleeps in bed with us most of the time, but last night she spent a big long chunk of time in her crib, which was wonderful, but we both missed her just the same.
She eats lots of solids now, not quantity but variety. Carrots, Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Bananas and Pears (although we won't be trying those again for a while, I think they were too sweet).
Speaking of things dying, my laptop died and my car is on it's way out too, I think I'm going to be getting a Yaris. Small yes, but good gas mileage. And, semi-affordable. Eh... stupid things.. cars.
Guess that's about it!
Here's lots and lots of pics:
Lily Hilton..

Darn right! She's smart! haha
