2010--Lilly & Reid Style

January--first snow of the year! Didn't love being out in the cold for long periods of time...
But did LOVE playing with the snow inside!
Reid just wanted to hang out inside where it was warm and be vocal.
He had his first occasion to wear his tux--cousin Lynn's wedding!
We finally got Lilly's hair in pig-tails!!
Which led to the discovery of Lilly's Who-ville hair.
February:
MoMo and Papa Ray got married!!
We also started attending our church.
We had our first playgroup!
Lilly made sure Tank didn't starve during the cold harsh winter.
March
Discovered our LOVE of the slide. "1, 2, 3, WEEEE!"
Dressed Reid up in this hot-dog suit for a photo shoot--even though it was way too small. His knees were in his chest. Since I got this photo though....I say "worth it".
Lilly's ability to multi-task really blossomed. And she fell in love with those hello kitty rainboots. They were too big and one was always coming off but she didn't seem to mind.
We had a day that began at 70 degrees and ended with a foot of snow. No exaggerations. I can't make this stuff up.
April:
We all walked in Race for the Cure in honor of Aunt Theresa's 10 years in remission!
May:
Baby dedication!
Reid got tubes--after 2 months of the same ear infection making him miserable. I don't care what other people say, we love tubes!
We moved into our beautiful home that is absolutely perfect for our family!! What a blessing from God!
June
Started a summer of hanging out in the backyard!
Lilly found a way to play with her toys and watch tv at the same time.
Swim lessons! Lilly could swim by herself with a life jacket on--and I believe it is thanks to these lessons!
Reid was the best splasher in the pool. Hands down!

July (this was a pretty exciting month) Mommy got bit by this ferocious tiger!
We had a streaker in the backyard!!
We spent a ton of time in pools! Bathing suits, diapers, naked, fully dressed--didn't matter as long as there was a pool filled with water.

August
BEACH TRIP! This was both Lilly and Reid's first trip to the ocean/beach. We all had a blast!
Reid turned one. My baby turned one. Tear.
Oh, and I got baptized!

September:
Lilly turned 2. My baby girl turned two. Sniffle. Sniffle.
We had a zoo-themed birthday party!!
First day of Mother's Day Out for Lilly...
and Reid.

October
Reid got his first hair-cut. We said good-bye to the baby mullet.
Reid was a monkey. This is fitting since he climes on everything. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
Lilly was a love bug. Also perfect because she just does make everyone around her fall in love!

November
We celebrated Thanksgiving...
and made our handprint turkeys.

December
I think we have been celebrating Christmas all month long!
We had a wonderful and blessed year! We can't wait to see what God has in store for us this year. Today I saw Lilly rocking and praying with her baby doll...she had her eyes closed talking very softly and then said "Amen". That makes me think this year is going to be pretty awesome when it starts out with something as sweet as that!

I love this post. Love it! You are one of my funniest friends and I am so thankful for that! Glad 2010 was so good to the Scott family and I hope that 2011 is even better!! Be still my soul. I will want the whole entire world to stop so I can soak in the moment that I see Cilla praying with her babies. That might be the sweetest moment ever for a momma! You are a great momma and Lilly and Reid are blessed to have parents pointing them toward Christ!
