North Point Summit, September 2010
Lily's first summit!
Poor Dave was a bit tired with our little bundle of joy on his back.
Getting ready to hike up North Point in the Catskills.
It's been a while and things around the Scicchitano household are going just fine. Lily is growing, her hair is getting a little longer. She is saying a few words now, not entirely clear to the new ear... but we can hear her repeat things we say, like "doggie" and "where are you?" Lily LOVES to read books over and over and over... you get the picture. She started making animal noises. She would make a sort of "woof" sound for a while which was so cute, until she learned that the goose says "honk" and now everything says "honk." Although she does like to make fish lips and a sucking noise for the fish. She just went through a bout of teething and has almost a mouth full of teeth all at once. She can also handle her bottle all by herself now.
In September we went on a hike in the Catskills. It was Lily's first... and last summit with us until she is able to do it herself. It was such a beautiful day and she said "Hi" to everyone we passed on the way. I'm sure we'll do some walking trails with her, but the mountains are reserved just for the boys for now. Daniel says he'll come back and re-do some mountains with us when Lily is able. What an awesome kid he is!
We had a fun Halloween. We dressed her up as a ladybug and went out candy harvesting with my brother and his daughters. There will be pictures to follow in a few days (when we find our camera... yikes!).
November 29th is the big day. We will see Dr. Fox in Schenectady for Lily's lip revision and she'll have her ears pierced too. It is supposed to be same day surgery and she will have elbow restraints for a week or more just to ensure she doesn't do any damage to herself. I'm not so sure how this will go over with her. Please keep her and us in your prayers for this procedure and the weeks to follow as she heals.
Enjoy some updated pictures and we'll keep you all posted on Lily's progress.

So cute! I love her little pigtails. Best of luck with her surgery. Will keep her (and all of you) in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be praying! I love those little pigtails too!
ReplyDeleteooops - posted comment to your first page. We'll be praying. Gracie's surgery was difficult for few days but really doing ok & arm restraints aren't as hard as I thought they'd be. She does require more time to keep her entertained but that's not too bad. Take care - Dan and Michelle
