It's All About Lily!

This is my beautiful little grandbaby Ms. Lily. She is now seven months old. Our visit together last week was wonderful. I filled a memory card with photos and have tried to narrow them down to some favorites to share with you.

This first one was inspired by Robert when he posted a photo of his Lily's eyes a few weeks ago. I told myself I had to remember his photo when I visited my Lily. So thank you Robert for your inspiration. I must tell you too that this one is straight out of the camera. I am very pleased with it.
I zoomed out for a shot of her in the bouncy chair where she loves to sit and play.
You mean dinner was supposed to go in my mouth! The highchair she's sitting in was also used by her Mommy and her Uncle Chris when they were babies.
This was early morning on the day I had to leave. Let me tell you it wasn't easy saying bye-bye.
She has found her voice will project and happily loves making loud screams.
The tag on a stuffed toy is endless pleasure!

Those little hands are so very precious.

Carletta,
What an honor to come here and read this. You really nailed it with the eyes here! She is a DOLL! I know how hard it is to narrow down the pictures to the few you post. These are all so wonderful and I love reading the thoughts behind each one. I know it's hard coming back but I'm sure you're grateful to have these pictures to carry you through til the next visit.

Wow! You must have been in heaven. What a sweet beauty she is! Great photos. I can imagine how hard it was to leave. My great niece was just a year old when I left AZ. That was the last time I've seen anything but a picture and I've never met her brother in real life. But I'm grateful that I got to be around Ani for the whole first year of her life. I can promise you she was the most photographed child in the history of children - except maybe for Robert's Lily. These are wonderful photos. She's a joy. I think the next to the last is my favorite.

Your Lily is a beautiful little flower! I love the photo with the food all over her face, and the last one with the tag. Kids notice the darnedest things.

She's gorgeous. I love the high chair photo and how cool that the chair has been passed down.

She has incredible eyes and you can tell from the photos how soft her big curls of hair must be.

Wonderful photos!
