Mom

Although it is usually the picture that is worth a thousand words, today it was the word that was worth nearly a thousand pictures!

Little Explorers

While Lilly has been feeling a bit under the weather, nothing has been able to stop Camdyn and her cousin Malachi from squeezing every second of fun out of the summertime! There are few things I enjoy more than watching kids have good, old-fashioned fun with nothing but nature, their imaginations....and in this case a giant River Rat inner tube!

1.5

The blog is definitely long overdue on a little Lilly lovin, and 18 months seemed the perfect time to highlight our favorite little toddler. First some basic stats:

Height: 31.5 inches (15th percentile)
Weight: 20.5 pounds (5th percentile)
Head: 18.5 inches (20th percentile)
Loves: Barley, Camdyn, water, any type of food, tricycle rides, snuggling with Dad, doing anything outside, tackling her sister, reading stories, strawberry milkshakes, splashing in the tub, her Minnie Mouse and Dog stuffed animals and kisses on her belly.
Not so fond of: Going to the Doctor, getting her medicine, keeping her hands to herself and hot dogs (the only food she refuses to eat)

Much more verbal than her Camdyn was, her incessant chatter has turned into a pretty hefty vocabulary with well over 30 words....including some strange ones like pickle, spicy and weeding (sadly, one of her favorite activities)!

Best known by her sister as Lil or Lilla, the entire Weer Clan is pretty smitten with Miss Lilly Grace and we are so happy she came around 18 months ago to round out our family of four!

Summer Lovin'

Seems we have been doing just about everything this summer besides blogging! While poor Daddy has been fighting fires across the Southwest, the Weer Women have been soaking up the sun. From the backyard to Wallowa Lake, pools, playing, Popsicles and all things inflatable have been dominating our days and we couldn't be loving it more!

Our little Fire Crackers

No Rest Stop,......No Problem

Just two of the reasons I keep a spare potty seat in the back of the Subaru on road trips. More graphic pictures available upon request.

Beach Bums

While the typical Oregon Coast rain and wind kept us from soaking up the rays, nothing could stop Camdyn and Lilly from having a blast at our 2nd annual Beach with Grandma weekend. To create even better memories (if that as possible), we included a 4th generation of women to the mix with the addition of Great-Grandma! Despite the lack of sun and summer temperatures, all of the Weer girls were spoiled rotten with amazing lodging, delicious seafood and some much needed R & R! We are already counting down to 2012!
