Anyways she weighs 17.6lbs. and 29 inches tall. She actually lost some weight since her last check up. 3 lbs to be exact...Crazy but the doctor said she's becoming more active and stretching out. The doc said Lily's still tall for her age. Oh well...
I think when you're child grows before your eyes it takes those light bulb moments to realize how much they actually have grown.
Lily now has 3 teeth(2 bottom-1 top) and her 4th is coming in slowly on top. She laughs all the time and tries to talk to us when we're talking to her. She is slightly crawling. Shh.....I guess she doesn't want the cat out of the bag but I've spotted her crawling forward a step or two to reach something then stop. I've tried to move whatever she is reaching for further to make her crawl further and she only just sits there and looks at me with this "DUH MOM!! I'm not going to get it now!" look.
But here are a few of Lily's favorite things:
- playing her piano. She loves musical instruments. I think this will be her party theme for her birthday. So people who live close to us- expect your invites next month. Her party is on a Monday evening. What better way to spend family home evening than with all your family celebrating the birth of a beautiful baby.
- screaming matches with Mike. She loves this!
-EATING!!! she only eats people solids food. I have tried to give her some baby oatmeal and she just gives me her stink face.
- clapping....I have no idea why she does this but she'll just start randomly clapping for no reason
-pulling hair
- splashing in the bath tub
-stabbing people with her straws
- her binky (this is going to be UGLY when we have to break her from this)
Well that's all of Lily's happenings. But she'll always be my baby boo. XOXO
So after packing up all our stuff we drove the 2 hours to LA. I mostly wanted to go there since there was a museum I really wanted to visit. And since Mike loves me to pieces he agreed to take me to the museum. So as we drove we jammed out to 2pac's "California Love"
It was really depressing to know that 1.5 million children were killed and only a few survived. But at least we got to see the story of one lucky strong survivor. Mason was upset that he died at the end. But there was one point in our tour that we had to walk thru iron gates into a concentration camp and walk in either 2 tunnels that led you into your fate. 1 tunnel was marked "Able-Bodies" for those who will work until it was their time. The other tunnel was marked "Women and Children" and that was lead to a gas chamber. Mike and I started to tear up when we had to part into the separate tunnels. Man, I'm getting teary eye just talking about it. Mike won't let go of Mason's hand so he took Mason with him into the Able-Bodies tunnel. It was really sad. I don't know why we paid to cry. Anyways I got to hear from a survivor later in the afternoon. Mike was kind enough to care for Lily so I can hear this amazing woman's story. Wow is all I can say. If you're ever in the area this museum is a must.
Do you see what these benches say? Bus bench for humans only. Wow I never thought to see that here. But we did see a few things while there i.e. the walk of fame, a $1.5 million 2 bedroom apt. but due to traffic our time was cut short so we can do 2 things on our list. We seen the famous Hollywood sign. 
And we each got a picture with it in the background. There's a hike that's available to get closer to the sign but like I said due to the time crunch we just stood on the street. 
Mason asked why we stopped there. And I explained that Hollywood is the city where movies are made. He was just in awe. He loves Hollywood now. But we wanted to hit one more beach before we started our drive home. Plus we were trying to wait it out until the evening to drive so the kids could sleep. Clever us!!
We sure are going to miss the CA especially the beach.
And this is why....the spot was so small that I had to take the kids out of the car before he parked since this was the only way he was getting out. And we weren't the only ones doing this either. But none the less our car was parked.
Mike and Mason went on the Famous Giant Dipper Roller Coaster.
This is the ride Belmont Park is famous for. It's 70 yrs old and I was a wreck when I read that it's over 2,600 feet of track that was made of old vintage wood. 
This was the only picture I could get. There was tons of gates and rails. Mike has a nice head huh? But then we went on something safer....the carousel.
Here's a few random pics while we were there.
Then we went to Mission Beach. It was perfect. Water was calm so everyone could enjoy it. 
After splashing around for a little bit we did some sand art.
I made the heart with our 
He must of made like 7 or 8 huge pictures. But here's only a few. I like his picture of a whale.
The sand was actually kinda cool. It was the typical color of sand on top and below it was black. This is why Hailey is sitting a black pool of water. It's a sand hole we dug while we were looking for sea shells.
Lily on the other hand ate sand from every beach we went to. I guess this was her way of 
Our family photo at the beach. It was so much fun here.
We absolutely love San Diego.
