Hannah loves Lily!

So Hannah is really in love with Lily now. She chases her around the house and pulls her collar. Poor Lily is so great about it although occasionally I'll see her hiding from Hannah so that she can be left alone. Notice the look of desperation in Lily's eyes.

Catching up!

So I realize it's been almost a month since my last post. Chasing Hannah has really started to take up a lot of time. Here's what we've been up to in a nutshell.

1. We took a trip to Hilton Head with the entire Lyle/Williford clan. It was a great time! Hannah got used to the beach by about the second day. She got to play with her cousins. I got a little bit of a tan. Definitely still very white compared to most folks but it's a little tan for me these days. Todd got to rest a lot, which he really needed. It was wonderful to hang out with everyone and we are already excited about next year.

2. I took a girls weekend trip to Charleston with 4 of my greatest mommy friends! We shopped until we dropped, ate good food and got to lay on the beach without any children to chase! We all fit into one hotel room and we were really excited about the prospect of sleeping in... however, it turns out that even sans children it's just not that easy. We did find a really good thrift store in Folly Beach and I think we spent about 2 1/2 hours shopping there. I'm pretty sure the employees of that store are still talking about it:)

3. Todd had surgery to repair a hernia. He is pretty much completely recovered now. He was off his feet for a few days and still isn't supposed to lift heavy things. As much as I hated seeing him in pain, I did kind of enjoy taking care of him. He never lets me pamper him.

4. Hannah is growing up so fast! She has a ton of words now. This morning before I got in the shower she pulled my towel off the rack and said "mommy's towel". This is the first time she has put two words together that I can understand. It's pretty crazy. She has started "attack kissing" me. This is when she rams her kissing face into mine and then just holds it there. This usually makes me laugh and she just loves it! She does not stop moving until I put her down for a nap or to go to bed. Then, she's actually pretty good at resting. She'll start a mothers' morning out program in September so I wonder if that'll calm her down a little bit.

Time to post some pics!
