18 months is such a big time in a baby's life and so much has changed over the past 6 months. Lily's personality is developing more and more with each passing day and I love watching her grow. This sweet child of mine is so sensitive and loving and independent and boy does she ever have a temper. She wants to simultaneously be on my hip every second of the day while at the same time running around doing everything on her own.
Lily's bunny is her best friend right behind her sister Hannah or "Nannie" as she calls her. Every morning when I go to get Lily out of her crib she proudly holds Bunny up and points to her and says excitedly "Bunny!" as if she is introducing us for the first time.
It is "Nannie" though that is Lily's favorite these days. Lily chases her around and her eyes are constantly watching and learning from her sister. She wants to do absolutely EVERYTHING Hannah does down to drinking from the exact same cup and eating off of the exact same plate.
Lily's favorite food is Italian meatballs, she loves black eyed peas and broccoli, and no matter how many times I try she won't touch milk with a ten foot pole. Lily is in love with her teacher Ms. Waffa at her Mother's Day Out program and constantly asks for "Vaffa" at home. Her favorite place to play is outside whether it is at the sand and water table or digging in the rocks, dirt or mulch (which really stresses her ocd clean lovin' mother out).
This blond headed, blue eyed little girl is, as her older sister would say, "teeny weeny" (weighing in at a whopping 19lbs 5 oz). She thinks that the Sandra Boynton book "Blue Hat, Green Hat" is absolutely hilarious and loves to read anything that involves animals. Lily loves animals but right now but only from afar. The second one comes too close she starts looking up at me waving those little hands for me to save her. She is talking up a storm, even forming simple sentences, and it seems that every day produces several new words. (Today she asked me "'ere's MY Nannie?" aka "Where's my Hannah" and my heart melted just a little.) My favorite words to hear her say right now are puppy and bunny. She has this cute little intonation when she says both of those words and it is just too precious. Lily has a gang of friends that she loves to sleep with in her bed and she calls them each by name...."Ne", "E-E", "Baby", "Puppy" and, of course, "Bunny".
In case you can't tell I love this little baby girl oh so much and I am so blessed to be her mama! Happy half birthday my sweet Lils!
