Frogs, Frogs, and more Frogs!


That's right folks.....frogs! This weekend, we ended up at the National Geographic Museum to see their exhibit of frogs from around the world! It was so cool to see these little, and big, creatures up close and personal. From the African Bullfrog, to the Wax Monkey, to the Poisonous Dart frog....which by the way is the most poisonous frog in the world. The toxins on its skin are strong enough to kill 10 people! Lily is really in to pointing these days, as you can see. We aren't sure if she was really pointing at the little froggies, but we'll pretend! She loved Kermit though, that's for sure. Until next weekend, have a great week, and watch out for those Dart Frogs!!!



Beep Beep! Here comes Lily! (before someone starts freaking out, just know, car not moving, car parked).

More Adventures!


So we have managed to keep our New Year's Resolution alive for three weeks now! Last weekend we went to the Air and Space Museum followed by a nice stroll along the Mall. Lily enjoyed the beautiful fresh air and the warm sunshine the best I think. It was so nice to be outside! This past weekend, Grandma Debbie came to visit and Lily had so much fun playing with her and spending time with Grandma! Debbie was nice enough to watch Lily while Ryan and I went on a little date! Thanks Grandma!!!

In addition to our weekend adventures, Lily is having her own adventures standing, crawling, walking along all the furniture in our house, etc. etc.! She has discovered that crawling has opened up a whole new world to her. She also loves to point at things now. This is her new way of communicating with us and it is so cute! She points at anything interesting, or something tasty that she wants to eat. I love it! Every day she is changing and doing new things. This is happening all to fast and just when I want to take a picture of her newest "trick" she has advanced to something even newer! Slow down Lily :)

Weekend Adventure!

For our New Year's Resolutions, we decided to make a family goal to visit the sights every weekend. We live only about 20 minutes away from the Nation's capital....so we think it is time to take advantage! Last Saturday we ventured to the Capital Building as well as the Botanical Gardens. It was a great little outing. Lily loved looking at all the flowers and leaves. She loves to be outside in nature so the Botanical Gardens were right up her alley! Oh yeah, the Capital Building was pretty neat too!
