Silly Lily

Lily's vocabulary has grown so much in the past months.  I can't believe she says half of what she does, and half of what she says are probably things she shouldn't say!  She is so funny these days!  She over articulates her R's and her L's.  When she says dollar it is dolllllarrrrrr and quarter is quarterrrrr and Lily is Lillllllyyyyy. 

She has really melted my heart with some of the things she says.  For example, at night I say to her "I love you Lily," and Lily says back to me, "I love you to mom".  I then say "I love you more Lily," and she says, "I love you more mom."  This goes on and on.  Although I would rather her call me mommy, it is pretty cute how she says mom. Yesterday, I was getting frustrated and stressed out because Avery wouldn't eat.  I said to Avery, "Come on honey, you are scaring mommy," and Lily came over to me patted me on the back and said, "Don't worry."  If I wasn't crying already, I was now.  I picked that little booger up and hugged her so tight!

Lily can sing along to her ABC's, she can count to 20 by herself, she knows most shapes,  her colors, and everything about every show on Nick Jr....bad...I know.  She loves to dance...especially to the show Yo Gabba Gabba.  The one thing her mommy wishes she would do more than anything else is to go on the potty!  She will hardly even sit on it anymore.  She knows when she has to poop, but she refuses to go on the potty.  She now takes off running for the kitchen and does her business in there. 

I think the newness of having a baby in the house has ended.  Lily loves her little sister so much, but at least she leaves her alone most of the time.  She does play with her and reads to her, and the first thing every morning is still "Mommy, where's Avweee Gwace?"  She will occasionally steal her binky, and the other day she threw a soccer ball at Avery's head, but other than that Lily's behavior has gotten much better since Avery has been born.

Love you Silly Lily Rosebud!
