Happy Birthday, Pop Pop! I am the only one ready for the picture.

2008-09-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

Badass with her bruised face, horns, and Bob Dylan t-shirt.

Goofing off during lunch at the cabin.

Dancing with Sissy, the birthday girl.

2008-07-28T22:49:00.000-07:00

Lily shares soft ice cream with Sissy on the boardwalk in Ocean City. Nice shades.

2008-07-24T22:40:00.000-07:00

Lily models the latest Jersey shore fashions including Zeeza's hat.

2008-06-06T20:44:00.000-07:00

Okay, I am here for the berry picking -- where are the stinkin' berries?

What? Did you say I have some berry stains?

Mmm, grass. And dirt. Mmm.

2008-05-06T20:41:00.000-07:00

Mmmm, food. Doesn't matter what kind -- just send it my way.

2008-04-23T20:38:00.000-07:00

Coco on the move!

A mobile Coco means trouble for poor ol' Darb.

2008-04-15T20:35:00.000-07:00

Coco models her new eyewear.

2008-03-24T21:02:00.000-07:00

Coco is so proud of her newfound skill. Even when her sister is causing a ruckus in the background, Lily just happily waddles over to her.

2008-03-21T11:26:00.000-07:00

Lily has started walking. She toddles around with her arms up in the air and a big, proud smile on her face.

2008-03-08T15:53:00.000-08:00

Lily is not exactly a neat eater. Tired of having to wash so many stained outfits, I've taken to stripping her down when she eats something particularly messy. Pasta is a prime offender. Here is the "before" video.

And all the explanation you really need is in the "after" video...

2008-02-27T20:41:00.000-08:00

Yo. What you doin'?

What up, Dawg?

2008-02-27T20:37:00.000-08:00

Hey! I have a big balloon!!

2008-01-21T15:43:00.000-08:00

Happy 1st Birthday, Lily!

Lily has her first bit of cake at her birthday party.

2008-01-21T15:37:00.000-08:00

Hi! Are you coming to my birthday party?

The cousins at Lily's birthday party: Sofia, Lily, and cousin Stefan

Lily hangs out with Pop Pop at Christmas

And Mama

2007-12-18T15:05:00.000-08:00

This is Lily's first Christmas -- so far, she's not too sure about this hat thing.

2007-11-07T14:55:00.000-08:00

I love Laundry Day!

You going to wash this one, too?

2007-10-21T21:44:00.001-07:00

I am noticing a trend -- there are an awful lot of pictures of Lily in her highchair. Perhaps that's because the kid eats like a bottomless pit! And here she is with her beloved Cheerios

And here she is saving one for later...

2007-10-21T21:39:00.001-07:00

Lily and her big sis are hanging out in their jammies. Now that Coconut is bigger and more interactive, she and Sofia are having a lot of fun together.

2007-09-24T14:12:00.000-07:00

I have something on my face, you say?

2007-09-24T14:05:00.000-07:00

Look, I am wearing shoes. I love them!

And, they help me crawl, too.

2007-08-25T20:28:00.000-07:00

Lily's Big Day...

Here is Lily with her godparents, Aunt Ti and Uncle Michael for her baptism.

A futile attempt at a family portrait...

2007-08-25T20:22:00.000-07:00

Sweet Lily in her jumpy -- what a smile!

2007-06-27T17:11:00.000-07:00

Hey, what's about to happen here? Why am I in this chair?

Oh, hey! I like this!

Um, is there more?

2007-06-27T17:10:00.001-07:00

Can't a girl have any privacy?!

2007-06-27T17:06:00.001-07:00

Hey! Look at how cute I am!

Oh look! My big sis is here, too.

2007-06-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

Lily hanging out in her exersaucer.

2007-05-03T20:48:00.000-07:00

Our little Lily is turning into a smiley girl...

2007-03-31T16:10:00.000-07:00

Hey! Check out that cutie in the mirror.

That baby in the mirror makes me laugh!

Look, Darby! Look at that baby in the mirror.

2007-03-28T20:28:00.000-07:00

Sis and Sis

Chibby reading to Coco - never mind that Chib can't read and Coco doesn't understand words yet...

2007-03-26T17:01:00.000-07:00

And this one is just too cute...

2007-03-26T16:59:00.000-07:00

Here is Lily mid-laugh. Or possibly she's trying to raise the roof.

And here is her sweet smile -- she's just beginning to show it to us regularly.

2007-03-15T15:24:00.000-07:00

Here's proof that Lily can actually take a cute picture. She's doing the merengue...

2007-03-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

Seriously, this has to be the worst baby picture ever

Or, also known as "Courtney, don't quit your day job." You'd think we had some sort of vampire/zombie baby or something...

2007-03-14T21:40:00.000-07:00

Our vampire/zombie baby
Blood! I need blooooooood! And Braaaiiiiiinnss! Fresh braiiinnnss!

2007-03-14T21:30:00.000-07:00

Chillin' with dada

2007-03-14T21:19:00.000-07:00

And now for a normal pic...
Hanging out with big sis Sofia

2007-02-06T20:07:00.000-08:00

Do NOT wake a sleeping two-week-old...Enjoy the luxury of quiet

2007-01-30T17:14:00.000-08:00

This Kid is so Tiny!
If you have a child who is more than a year old, it's hard to get used to the size of a newborn, especially a preemie. Compared to Sofia, Lily seems so unbelievably small. I think these clothes bulked her up by 30%!

2007-01-26T14:03:00.000-08:00

Look at the beautiful women in my life - I am certainly the luckiest guy in the world!

Well, here she is!

Liliana (Lily) Claire was born on January 24, 2007 at 11:29 pm. She was 5 lbs, 5 oz and a month early.

She's eating well and growing, and passed all her tests with flying colors. Now Lily is home with her mom and dad and sister.

As the hours pass by, we are amazed at how much she is looking like Sofia did in the first week. Rick is happily anticipating his army of lookalike minions who will do his bidding...
