mobile vault

September 30th, in GranMary's favorite chapeau.

I know all thirteen Lil readers are getting anxious for new pictures. After all, it has been 5 days without a new Lil pic! That is a long time, to be sure. Please, just hold on a little bit longer! Saving daylight has us out of whack, plus with irritating colds and runny noses effecting both of us, Lil and Mama need just another day or two to get back on track. In the mean time, I've pulled a number of older photos off the mobile device and uploaded them to our Flickr photostream. There are even a few gems that go back to Lil at just 3 months old! I may never have those days again, but these pictures bring back all the sweetness and simplicity of days gone by.

this one's close to my heart.

And of course, there was the early First Tooth...

Perhaps we forgot to upload a special pic of Lil at 9 months. Well, we didn't, but here is another for good measure.

And here she is in her new "Lil" pajamas from Oshkosh B'gosh. They are all covered in unicorns and rainbows, how whimsical! And that aqua blue is so pretty on her.

Now, if you're still feeling sore that we haven't shown any new photos from the past 5 days, you may go amuse yourself with over 2 dozen videos on our YouTube Channel, where we've just fished out some ridiculously sweet footage of an itty bitty baby Lil that will turn you into a little puddle of mush!

I can't say for certain when this was captured, but it was definitely earlier than three months, and there's some even earlier than that! Go- see for yourselves! I know you won't be disappointed.

from the vacation archives

When I realized these photos were missing from the vacation reel, I was going to reshoot Lil in the jellyfish pj's from Sozo (another Zulilly score) today.  But I forgot to photograph before her banana rice smoothie.  So.... today's pics are from the vault.

from sleepy time to lounge wear

It's always hard to figure out what a baby should wear to sleep on hot summer nights.  A diaper and a bodysuit would be fine, except a bodysuit won't snap over her fluffy nighttime diaper.  So why not just let her sleep in a dipe?  Babies sweat a lot.  And it's much easier to change a set of pj's than a fitted crib sheet.  That leaves a couple lightweight sleep sacks, and some short-sleeved sets like this one.  The best thing about the jellyfish motif- the bubbles glow in the dark.

like Nemo's drop-off

For an added bonus, here's Lil on a rainy day at the beach, stretched out on a picnic blanket with a few toys, just rolling around on the floor.  Her little fish capris and A-line tunic are a new addition from Grandma, perfectly timed since Mama didn't pack any indoor play clothes.

the blanket happens to be as old as Papa!
