Fridge Lock Out

I'm Busy!

Lily can now open the fridge by herself...

Say Hi to Jesus!

Lily is our little artist.

She LOVES to draw...and she is VERY good at it as well.

This is far from her best work. This is just something she drew today.

Lily has to draw with a pen. That is her tool of choice.

Lately, I have had a problem with Lily drawing on her hands and arms.

Last week, she came to me with her hand behind her back. She says to me "I draw Jesus on my hand!" Before I could say anything, she quickly pulls her hand out from behind her back, puts her hand out as if she is waving and says "Say hi to Jesus!"

How do you get mad at that moment? I was shocked at first...then found immense humor in the whole thing.

This is now my favorite Lily moment of all time.

.Lily the Computer Monster.

.Oh My.

Lily continues to pick up on EVERYTHING that we say.

She even uses the phrases she picks up correctly most of the time as well.

One Saturday morning, Lily joined Aaron, Greyden and I in bed. She snuggled in between Daddy and Greyden. 

I was just laying there, enjoying my 2 sweet babies when Greyden launched his spit-up right into my face.

Without missing a beat, Lily just looks right at me and says "Oh my!"

Yes Lily...that's exactly what I was thinking. :)

.Baby Lily is 2!!.

Time sure flies...when you are having fun!!

Lillian is SUCH a handful, but she makes it worth it with her crazy little personality.

I feel like one of the luckiest people ever to have this little monster call me Mommy.

Lily LOVES to learn. She will make you repeat songs over and over and OVER until she at least has some of it memorized. Then she makes you sing it again, just so she can sing along with you to the parts that she knows.

She can count to 10 and can identify about 75% of her letters. When you point to the letter B and ask her what it is, she always starts off and says it is "D". She will do this 2 or 3 times until you call her on it and say "You know what it is!" then she immediately corrects herself and says it is "B".

Lily loves to say the same thing over and over and over...even if she knows you are paying attention. It can be pretty funny at times.

We go to Aaron's Grandparents house fairly often. She also happens to adore her Great-Grandpa Cutler and always sneaks upstairs to see him as soon as we arrive. Whenever we are driving in the car and drive past ANY houses, she always say "Go to Gamma Gampa's house?"

We celebrated her 2nd birthday along with Mother's Day this past Sunday.

Lily has an obsession with Minnie Mouse right now. She was so excited when she saw her cake.

My beautiful girls with their Minnie Mouse ears.

Lily's car from Uncle Tenney and Gma & Gpa 'chilles.

Lily's other obsession...bike!! She hasn't got the pedals figured out quite yet and she gets VERY frustrated that she can't do it. Thanks to the weather warming up, she can get PLENTY of practice.

I am excited for the adventures this next year will bring with our crazy Baby Lily.

.Kitty VS Kitten.

Aaron and Lily were reading an ABC book this morning.

They were working on the letter K.

They were naming all the items on the page that began with the letter K.

They came to, what the book had named, a kitten.

This is how the conversation went:

Aaron: (pointing to the picture) Kitten!

Lily: (also pointing to the picture) Kitty!

Aaron: Kitten.

Lily: Kitty

Aaron: Kitten

Lily: Kitty (still in her cheerful voice)

Aaron: Kitten!

Lily: (points to it again and turns and looks at me) Mommy...Kitty?

At this point, I couldn't help myself. This was getting too funny.

Leah: Yes, Lily. Kitty.

Lily: (smiles and points to the picture again) Kitty!
