Mama Bear and Her Cubs: It's been a longggg time...

I know it's been a long time since I posted. But at long last here are some updates!!!! Lilah is a character as always and getting into mischief. We recently went to the carnival in Mount Airy for the Fireman’s Carnival (July 24^th) and we had a blast with everyone (all the Johnson’s, Albritton’s, and Mullinix’s were there). Marianne was still pregnant trying to get Connor out but she was still walking around like she was not feeling like it at all. Jonathan and Lilah were having such fun together riding all the rides. This was especially exciting for us because this is the first year we didn’t have to go on most of them with her so it really opened what she could do! Here are some pictures of the carnival of Lilah with Jonathan J

Rodger eventually fell asleep on his Granddad Walt so he was out of the party for a while. But Lilah did so many carnival games too! She also got us to play darts so we could win her a kitty poster (with tiger cubs). She also went fishing to win a stuffed animal!!

Over that weekend we took Lilah to her first trip to the John Deere shop around Frederick. If you know Lilah, you know she loves going to Granddads and Grandma’s to look at the John Deere Gator and taking trips on it. So, we got her a shirt with a farm on it that she picked out (her favorite color is now yellow) and a green hat on it that says I heart <picture of tractor>. It is now one of David’s favorite outfits to put her in. It will be her in her green hat with the yellow John Deere shirt and yellow shorts. She looks like a walking logo for John Deere. I think my child just might grow up liking tractors…

Anywho, here’s a picture of Rodger from a few weeks ago. He is getting so big. He was moving himself around in circles and now he is crawling backwards!!! He will give you this big smile like he’s going to come to you and he starts going backwards. But he can now really move himself around! He just can’t quite keep his stomach off the floor but he’s up to like 20 seconds now that he can do that. He is still working on balance but overall he’s mostly content to just be held. Though he wiggles so often! He really likes for you to take him places to do things and just hold him. He is truly a snuggler.

Here’s a picture of Lilah and Jonathan from two weeks ago. Jonathan grabbed some cookies and shared with Lilah (he was so sweet). Then they hung out on the chair.

Lilah as always is such a character. Last night, she decided she wanted to watch Megamind. But it was in our car, so I had to get it from the car but she had to help me. Then she decided she had to watch it in the car. We decided that eventually was not an option so she had to go inside to watch it. But she was happy after she got macaroni and cheese for dinner.

I wish we got some pictures but we went to the Johnson family reunion over the weekend and had some fun there (I will eventually steal them off facebook). Lilah enjoyed playing with the other kids and David brought her in the playhouse and came out with princess stuff on! I swear this is going to be one interesting child. I see a future for her with a skirt on driving the Gator!
