Lilly 18 months.


Lilly had been crying right before I took this picture, thus her teary eyes and the wet spot on her dress. But I still think this picture is so adorable!

Lilly is now 18 months. Here are a few fun facts about our little toddler.
  • Lilly has started going to nursery!!!! The best part is that she loves nursery and goes in without a problem.
  • Lilly now has 7, count them 7 teeth! I know that's usually not very impressive, but we get excited about every single one we can get. She recently had her front two top teeth break....still no front bottom teeth, but we are patiently waiting.
  • Whenever Lilly sees a cat (or any member of the cat family, or a monkey, or some other random animal) she Meows really loud. But Lilly doesn't do a cute little meow, her meow sounds like a really big mad cat, which makes it even more funny.
  • Words Lilly can say although they don't all sound perfect.: Mommy, Daddy, Uh-Oh, Please, Thank you, Tickle, No, and Nana (banana)
  • Her favorite song is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and she sings it all the time. She also sings the rock-a-bye song that I sing to her at night to her dolls and to Grace's barbies.
  • She loves Grace and follows her around everywhere.
  • She loves books, and will sit and "read" them while I'm reading books to Grace. I'm more than willing to read to her too, but she would rather do it herself.
  • In fact she would rather do everything herself...She throws a monster fit if I get her dressed(which she can't really do herself yet, so I get to hear about this one 2 times a day) She has to get herself out of her booster seat. She has eat a whole banana instead of me cutting it up for her, and she has to eat with a fork or spoon all by herself. I think she would rather starve instead of letting me help her stab some mac and cheese.
  • Even though Lilly is very stubborn, she is also really sweet. She loves to cuddle, and and give hugs and kisses. Whenever Sam gets home she runs to him as fast as she can and gives him a big hug, it's adorable.
We love our little Lilly, and we are so blessed to have her in our family.
