Happy 4th Birthday Lily!

Today is Lily's 4th Birthday!!! Where have the years gone?

Our traditional "find whatever you have nearby on your birthday", stick a candle in it, and sing "Happy Birthday"! Today was a brownie kind of day! Of course, this weekend we will have her party with a real cake :D
I finally got my old hard drive to work while connected to my laptop and I retrieved all of my old pics from 2003 - 2007! Woo hoo! Expect a lot of memory lane posts in the near future. Ha!

So, here's some pics when Lily was a baby, never before seen on here. The girls and I were just laughing and having fun earlier, looking at how little they were. It's amazing how much you forget about how they used to look and act.

Here's us near the end of my pregnancy.
New beginnings...
This is when I realized she had outgrown her little swing. I walked in to find her flipped over, like "what just happened?!" LOL!
3 months old. I always say Lily never was a baby for long. After she turned 3 mos. old, she was moving and going. Look at her kicking those feet. It wasn't long after that she was crawling.
5 months old. She was the happiest baby. And always on the go.
6 months old, already trying to walk. She would pull up on this piano and scoot it around. Used to scare me to death! Ha!
Playing with Daddy.
When Zoey was here, I thought that she got into more than my girls did when they were little. Nope! I had just forgotten. Lily was a little stinker!! Out of the 3, Lily was the one who did everything the others never did. She unrolled toilet paper, pulled out drawers, and always had her hands in something!

Here's her getting into the wipes one day. She has that "I got caught" look!! :D
9 months old.....already walking well.
Her 1st Birthday party!
I love this one!! I was showing her and she was cracking up earlier. She pulled this mixing bowl out of the drawer and sat in it. She loved to get into things like that. I found pics of her in toy boxes, baby buggies, bowls, etc.
One day, she got the goldfish when I wasn't looking and poured them out and had herself a snack. Stinker, I tell you!!
I always loved this little dress! It was a gift from my cousin's wife. So pretty! My little ballerina.
I think this must have been Christmas 2007. The girls with Pappaw (my Dad).
2nd Birthday, Dora party!
3rd Birthday, Spongebob party!
This year, she chose to have a Barbie party!

Happy Birthday, my sweet Lilian Paige! Momma loves you with all my heart. You have brought so much laughter and joy into our lives. It wouldn't bother me at all if you would just stop growing up quite so fast, okay? =)

Ohh how sweet! Happy birthday Lily! The pictures are just precious! I love the one of her in her bouncer & with the bag of goldfish...she definitely was a quick mover & I am sure kept you on your toes! Amazing how their personalities start shining through so early :)

Hope she has a great day!!

What a fun post. I loved all the looking back photos. She reminds me of Bella and Scout. I thought all kids got into everything, walked early, sat in bowls, snuck into the food, pulled all the wipes out of the box, unrolled the toilet paper (daily)! I can't wait to see more photos of years past!

Happy Birthday Lily Paige!

Looks like Lily was an active one! (:>) The picture of her sitting in the bowl was my favorite!

Isn't it fun to look at old pictures? I could sit and do that all day!

Happy Birthday to your Lily!
(John's Nana was Lily, and his mom was Edith Lily and our niece is Lilian after them. Pretty name.)
