If you can't guess what's wrong, I'll tell you..... this photo was taken on April 7th and it is SNOWING! I looked out the window this morning and was determined to spend the day inside snuggled up with my girls. Lily had other plans. She begged for two hours to play in the snow. I finally got Annie settled for her morning nap and went outside to play with Lily.
Look at that face. This girl loves the snow. And what she loves most about the snow is....building snowmen.
She was so proud of our first snowman. She even danced around it and sang "Frosty the Snowman". The conditions were perfect for making snowballs. The snow was heavy and wet. I had fun teaching Lily how to roll snow on the ground to make big balls.
She wanted to build another snowman...and another...and another... We ended up with three and a half snowpeople before she got hungry for lunch.
Here are our two favorites - named Lily and Mommy. Days like this make me glad I have children. Lily was on cloud nine playing with me in the snow. Her simple joy in the moment helped me overcome the dreariness of a springtime snow day. So although I may not have flowers blooming in my yard my "Lily" is growing more every day and the warmth and beauty she brings to my life are beyond compare.
I can't believe Annie is six months old already. So much has happened in our family since her birth that the time has flown by.
She is just as cute as ever. She is sitting in a high chair to eat food now. And is thankfully eating solids without putting up a fuss. Her favorites are pears, peas, and sweet potatoes She is still breastfeeding and refusing bottles.
This is her smile. We call it the "Cabbage Patch Face." She pulls in her lower lip and smiles. I love it. 
Annie is starting to sit up for short periods of time. If she can support herself with her hands, she lasts a little longer. At her 6 month check up she weighed in at 13 pounds 14 ounces (11th percentile) and was 25 inches long (16th percentile). I can't believe I have such small babies. They must get it from the Hall side of the family. Annie has good fine motor skills for a child her age. She is also beginning to mimic our sounds. Her favorite game is to blow razzberries and see who will copy her. She is a little more fussy than Lily was at this age, but she is still a generally content and wonderful baby.
