Chip Update and Bubbles!

Chip's tests went ok. He had another one this morning (an Echo test) and has an appointment with the Dr to go over all his test results on the 21st! I am kinda annoyed that we have to wait nearly 2 weeks to find out if anything serious is wrong; but then again I suppose that if it was something super serious they wouldn't be waiting 2 weeks to discuss it with him (at least that is what I'll keep telling myself!)

Last night we took a quick walk around the block. Lily wanted to get out and it was "Texas National Night Out." National Night Out is a nation wide event that encourages people to get out and meet their neighbors -- it usually is sometime in August, but since it is hot here in August Texas decided to push it back to October. The HOA sent news letters and encouraged people to have block parties, etc. . . so I kinda wanted to see if anything was going on and if we could meet some of the neighbors. So we walked around the block and didn't see a single person! Oh well, at least we tried! :) But it was strange because it is getting dark so early now. When we moved here it stayed light until 9pm and now it is already dark at 7!! I can't believe summer is already over. Plus it was a little chilly and I don't have any sweaters or jackets that fit Lily. All the ones from last winter are way too small. Guess we get to go shopping soon!! :)

Here is the new way Lily likes to go up the stairs:

She goes sideways, holding on to the banisters. It takes a lot longer than just crawling up. But I think she likes it better since she is standing up and going up -- makes her feel more like a big girl!

Here are some great pictures I got of her playing in the bubbles this morning:

And reading her book. She can identify nearly everything in the book now!

I had a video of her blowing bubbles and Moo'ing like a cow, but it wouldn't upload for me today. Bummer. Maybe I can get it to work later . . .
