sisters come to visit

My sister, Lindsay, flew in late last Sunday night for her spring break. It was so fun to have her here for the week. Lily enjoyed playing outside & going for walks with Aunt Lindsay.

Auntie Em drove up from Charleston on Wednesday night.

Downtown Wilmington - we hit up Coastal Cupcakes.

8 month photo shoot

We had Lily's EIGHT MONTH photo shoot back around Valentine's Day. You may have seen the sneak peek HERE. We got all the pictures back last week. I am just now getting around to putting them up. We had a busy, but very fun week (another post to come) - my sister's came to visit!

Here are some of our favorites.

It's gorgeous here today - 80's.

We broke out the shorts.

9 months

Our sweet baby girl turned 9 months old this past Sunday! Where has the time gone? This all has gone by so quickly. Lily is doing great. We go to the doctor next week for all her stats. She is changing so quickly.

• Tooth #3 poked thru this week (top, left side)
• Lily is pulling up on everything (chairs, tables, etc. . .)
• Lily has amazing abs - sits up from the laying down position in a split second
• LOVES bath time - she is very daring & crazy

We love you Lily Anne Flaming. We are so thankful God gave you to us.
