Conversations with Lilly

I promised myself  would journal these conversations/expressions down before I forget them...

Lilly:  Ouch!
Me: What hurts?
Lilly:  My Pride

Me:  Lilly, come here so I can change you
Lilly:  No, that's not okay

Lilly:  I want a banana (looking at bananas on the counter)
Me: You already had a banana and it will make you poop
Lilly:  I don't wanna poop anymore

Lilly:  Mommy (Or Daddy or Dela), I so proud of you.

Lilly:  That's amazing (her new expression for everything)

Paul: Lilly, did we have fun at the park today or what?
Lilly: What

Dela: 4.0

My sweet baby girl is 4 months old today.  Some highlights are:

  • found her feet
  • belly laughs
  • drool, drool, drool
  • holding and grabbing things in her sight (including my hair)
  • longer sleep stretches (but still no where close to sleeping thru the night)
  • still sleeping in our room
  • loving anything her sister does (watches her and laughs all the time)
  • swinging for the first time
  • going for walks in the big girl stroller (need to invest a double bob)
  • rolling from her back to her stomach
  • eating 5 ounces at a time
  • crazy, crazy hair
  • blowing bubbles and spitting
  • moving in circles when having floor time
  • loves her bath
  • and overall just a sweet, chill, happy girl!
Update:  you weigh 12.2 lbs (right under 25%), can't remember your height but it is less than 10%.
So that is why you look so roly-poly...you are short!

Lilly - 28 Months

Just some bullet points on what is going with our Big Girl!

  • In the car, you have begun to tell me "this way, now that way, now this way" when we leave our neighborhood.  We are in now in the process of teaching you that this way and that way are left and right.
  • Potty training is going s-l-o-w-l-y.  Your school is doing an excellent job.  Your parents suck!
  • Said potty training has now graduated to pull ups (per your teachers instructions)
  • We officially watch movies now. Your favorites are How to Train your Dragon and Ice (Ice Age)
  • Dora the Explorer and Diego are your new must haves for tv watching
  • You can climb up the stairs on your swingset all by yourself.  I don't even stand under you anymore.
  • We need to get you a big girl swing because you are getting too big for the baby swing :(
  • You have mad coordination skills and can throw, catch and kick just about any type of ball
  • We need to get you into a soccer class
  • Instead, I enrolled you in a ballet/tap/tumbling class.  It really is tutu cute...
  • Nothing is safe on the countertops.  You frequently bring me things that I just thought were out of reach.
  • Your vocabulary is amazing as are your conversations with us.  It is so nice to sit and have talks with you.
  • Your appetite sees good days and bad.  Some days its only mac-n-cheese while other days you will eat all the meat I put on your plate.  I always offer you a variety in hopes that one day you will eat it all :)
  • Milk is still your drink of choice first thing in the morning and the last thing before bed
  • You make up songs just like your dad
  • You have a lisp just like your dad
  • You still look JUST LIKE YOUR DAD
