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

Dela: 3.0

You were officially 3 months yesterday.  We celebrated by taking your sister to a bounce house and letting her run off some energy.  Yesterday was also my last day home with you since I go back to work and you will start school on Monday.  I feel pretty good about your class right now though because there are usually only 5 babies and there are 3 teachers.  I know this can change day to day (they take up to 8 babies) but it will have to work for now.  I think you will get a lot of loving while you are there.  We will see how long I can make before I decide to either stay working or become a SAHM.
Today you are weighing in at 11 lbs!  You smile, coo, laugh and are just all around a happy baby.  You still aren't a great sleeper but you give me enough nights of long stretches that I can make it thru the week :)
Dela you are a wonderful addition to our family and we all love you soo much.  Sister can't wait for you to grow and play with her but just don't grow up too fast!

Where Does Milk Come From?

Silly question!  Of course it comes from your belly button!
