End of June/Beginning of July 2008

Hello to my biggest fans,

Hope you are well.  Well, it has been about 2 weeks since my mom and brother and sister have been out of school, and we have been BUSY!  We're going to playgrounds, having playdates, playing outside, going to the library and just having fun.  I went in the big pool for the first time of the season last weekend, and I really liked sitting on the float.  The water part- not so much...I'll have to get used to that!  From my pictures, you can see that I went strawberry picking.  I had a blast and I was really good at it.  I picked A LOT of berries! 

My favorite things to do are to water Mommy's pretty flowers outside.  I love being helpful like that!  And speaking of helpful...I have been helping to set the table for dinner!  Sometimes I just take random things out of the fridge to be "helpful".  I am going to start asking for an allowance!

I have taken a newfound reaquaintance with my babydolls. Who knew that they could be so much fun!  And I have finally named them all....Lily-girl!  What better name can you think of???

It has been great being home, but I miss my friends at Miss Arlene's.  I need to go visit them soon.

Mommy says that this weekend is a big one, and hopefully, we'll have lots of pictures to share.  My social director (Mommy) says that we have a lot of fun things planned, so we'll update soon!

Enjoy your summer and I'll be in touch soon!

May/June 2008

Hi Everyone,

It has been such a busy 2 months for us...but after this week, we'll be on vacation!  Yahoo!

I am talking so much, and can carry a conversation with practically anyone.  My newest favorite word is "WHY?"  It can drive anyone nuts...especially my mom.. :)  I can count, and I love to sing.  My two favorite songs are "Happy Birthday" and "Sing" from Sesame Street.  I still love Max and Ruby.... Food wise, there really isn't anything that I love except for orange juice and sour cream....and popsicles, and of course, donuts.  I pronounce donuts like this:  Dew-nuts.  It is pretty cute...and now, my whole family calls them, "DEWNUTS!"  If I really want to gross Daddy out, I will eat my sour cream with a spoon.  Yum!!!  I am such a climber, and really know no fear.  Mommy takes me to gym class on Fridays, and I love it!  I am very curious about bugs, but I don't especially like them-especially in the house.  I will find every ant and beetle in our house...and expect Daddy to take them outside!

I am looking forward to days in the pool, a week with Mickey Mouse, play dates with my friends, story time at the library and lots of other adventures.  I promise, Mommy will be better at keeping you up to date with my cuteness!!!

Love, Lily

Hi Everyone,

Enjoy!

Mommy still needs to add pictures of me in my Easter dress.  We may need to ask Auntie Loren if she has any good ones.  We'll be in touch soon!

February 2008

Hi Everyone!

February was a busy month!  Not to mention a sick month for me.  I have had a runny nose since the first frost!  Luckily (knock on wood) we are pretty sniffle-free right now!

Being two is fantastic, although I love to drive my mom and dad BANANAS!!!!  I am climbing everywhere, and I have enough energy for 3 two year olds!  I am keeping my parents busy for sure! 

We had to quit music class.  It was too boring for me.  I love the music, and the songs, but why did we have to sit in the circle for so long?  I loved my teacher as well, but Mommy decided that I needed something a little more active, so we began gym class with Lucas and Tia.  I LOVE IT.  I can climb and run and yell and have fun with the other kids.  They have a trampoline and I love to BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE!!!! 

I am quite the little singer.  I have my own playlist on Mommy's iPod and I think I am prety cool.  I am also addicted to Max and Ruby.  I just love that show.  I love doing messy crafts, but get bored very easily with crayons and paper.  Unless of course, Grammy or Mommy is coloring with me.

I love my "school" with Mr. Jim and Miss Arlene, but I would rather go to Mollie and Dylan's school.  I cry about it every Wednesday and Thursday.  Why can't I just go to school with them???

Things are really great!  I am sleeping well at night again, goodness knows I need it!!!

Hope everyone is great! I can't wait for Spring!

Love, Lily-girl!

 

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

It was such a great birthday weekend.  I had a BIG family party on Saturday and just kicked back and relaxed on Sunday.  Can you believe I am 2????

I got so many great presents for my birthday and I LOVED seeing everyone.  How great that all of those people love me and came to my house to listen to me sing, "Happy Birthday".

I went to the dr. last week and I weigh 25 pounds (25-50%) and am 31 1/4 (60%)inches tall.  The dr. was impressed with everything about me...but she was most impressed when I got my shot and my blood work done that I didn't even cry!  I am amazing!  I am a picky eater and don't really like when Mommy cooks dinner.  Why can't I just have cheese sticks and melon for dinner? 

I am giving my parents a run for their money though...I am boycotting sleeping through the night again.  What do you expect???? I am 2 now!

I'll be in touch!!!

December 2007

Whew!  It was a busy December.  I started my new day care with Miss Arlene and Mr. Jim right after Thanksgiving.  They are amazing.  I talk about "Arlene, Jim and the kids" all the time, and I am settling right into their routine.

Christmas was  fantastic.  Ho-ho" brought me such great gifts.  I am one lucky girl.  I am also loved by so many friends and family.  I am in a new outfit every day, and playing with new toys and books.  We were very busy over Christmas, but we had a very calm and relaxing week off.  I got pretty sick right before vacation got over, and missed the entire next week of school (day care).  I got better again, but now am a little sniffly again!  Enough is enough!

Hugs and germ-free kisses,

Lily-girl
