Lily's First Game-post #2

Up to Bat! She hit like a pro!

Playing "pitcher". She got lots of action at that position and did herself proud. Here's her "ready" stance.


This is a few minutes later....her "ready" stance is a bit more relaxed.

With Daddy after the game. Darrin was out helping in the field during the game (t-ballers need lots of help) and Lily was excited!




Lily's First Game-post #1

She was awesome and adorable and funny. She did really well, actually made some plays and hit the ball. You can't really ask for more than that in t-ball. There's so many cute pictures, this'll be two postings...sorry.

During Fall Ball, all of the teams are minor-league team names. Lily is on the Sandgnats. She loves it, and it's pretty cute.

Even the way she stands before the pledge is sassy. I love it!

Standin' on 3rd, coolest girl in town.



Hussling home! She missed the plate the first time around and when they told her to go touch the plate, she went over and daintily touched the corner of it with her toe. Awesome!



Jane was on the edge of her seat during all of the action!!

Hot Mess/Hot Stuff

Those of you who watch SYTYCD are well familiar with the phrase "hot mess". It is the only phrase that I feel is appropriate to describe Lily's first t-ball practice this week. Needless to say, she needs a lot of work. I'm not saying she won't have the skills to play once she gets some practice in...but she basically spent the majority of the first practice dancing around in circles, staring off into space and rubbing dirt all over the front of her shirt?! She did, however, look awesomely adorable while being a complete disaster. Here ya go:








Onto the "hot stuff". We've been meaning to take Lily's training wheels off for quite some time, but just haven't gotten around to it until today. I'm not exaggerating when I say, Darrin took them off, went up the street and back with her once and then she was riding like this!!!! She's a total pro. She can even get herself started already (that skill took Connor a few months to develop). I readily admit to being a little teary-eyed as I watched her. Just one more thing that signifies the growing up of my baby, won't she ever stop?!!
