These are a few of my favorite things...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

(Do I have the song stuck in your head yet!?!?)

Lily loves drinking out of her sippy cup now. That is, until she noticed we had cups sans tops, and she wanted a sip out of ours...which isn't quite as drip proof, but she does pretty well!


I can drink all by myself now, thank you very much.



Even though it's not the Christmas season yet, she loves this book! If you push a button on the front a song plays and the stars twinkle.

She has amazing dexterity with her feet!

New swing at grandma and grandpa's house!


Weeeeee!

Everyone is in on the action.

A few new things:

* she has been "talking" up a storm and saying mamamama and dadadada (although she doesn't know what that means!) and bababa for ball.

* she points at everything she wants (and she knows what she wants!) When we're done with a book, she'll point to the next book she wants us to read. If we pick the wrong one, she'll shake her head and point to a new book.

* she is waving to us and clapping her hands. When we say "bye bye" she'll wave and when we say "yeah!!!" she'll clap.

* drinking out of a sippy cup

* sitting up in bed!

* Lily loves yogurt, any kind of fruit, green beans and peas, soft granola bars, cheese and some of the things we eat - garlic bread, pasta, rice and beans, pizza. We've been trying new foods with her all the time and I don't think there's anything she hasn't liked! And, knock on wood, no allergic reactions to anything either.

* her hair is now long enough for a pig tail. Just kidding! She still is a baldy, but you can see her blond hair coming in. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are blond so you can hardly see them, but they're there!

She loves her books and new swing. I think because she loves the pool so much (or vice versa) she also really enjoys bath time. She doesn't want to get out! She has this duck tub that she'll sit in and splash and play for the longest time. When I take her out she points back to the tub, but her hands and feet are prunes so that's when I know she's had enough! After all, there's always bath time tomorrow...
