Playing at the Park

We took full advantage of the Spring-like temperatures in February and made a trip to the neighborhood park. Lilly tried out the baby swing, teeter totter and even took a try down the slide. We had a blast! Hearing her giggle makes me giggle tears.

Lilly is on the move more than ever right now. In the last week, she has climbed the stairs, started saying Night-Night, waves at anyone and everyone when we are out and about, is cutting one of her bottom teeth (finally at 11 1/2 months!), and is walking with support from Mommy or Daddy. Now that she has pieced together saying Night-night means that she lays down in her crib makes this less than appealing to say.

We will be celebrating her 1st Birthday on February 20th and will be having a small party for her on February 21st. We can't believe our little girl is almost one!

In other news...Jarod resigned from Coleman Stevenson Montel Law Firm a few weeks ago and has joined Leo Brown Group to work as their General Counsel. He has also started his own company, Brown & Company. He will focus on general corporate legal work as well as seeking financing for business deals. It is an exciting time for our family because he enjoys his new career path so much more. He feels less stressed and is more available to Lilly which she absolutely loves. I am very proud of him for all that he has accomplished for the young age of 26 going on 27!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Lots of Love,

Melissa, Jarod, & Lilly
