New Pictures

Here are some new pictures of Lilly. For some reason the blog wouldn't let me upload pictures, but Ryan just figured it out! Finally!!

This weekend was an exciting weekend at the Tarchalski Home... Lilly went on the potty 3 times! What a big girl~ she was proud of herself and so were we!! She's 21 months today.
We had a fun weekend hanging out at home. We played with Lilly's new aqua-doodle, play dough and her new blocks our wonderful neighbor gave to her. We also made it to the dog show.We took Preston with us! They especially loved when the border-collie was herding ducks.The lady brought over one of the ducks for the kids to pet. Preston was nervous at first, but built up the courage to pet it. Lilly was shy, she turned her head away when the lady put the duck near her.

Last weekend we had fun catching up with some friends. Lilly played with her friends Laurel and Madelyn. It's been really neat watching them play as they get older. Maddie is 10 days older then Lilly and Laurel is a couple of months younger. They play so nice.
Lilly Lately: Lilly is trying to walk down the stairs (instead of going down on her belly), she's really interested in the potty and she loves to dump all her toys. She also loves to stand on the bottom drawer of our entertainment center. She just about twisted her leg off the other night, so it's now rubber band closed. Ryan was at the side door ready to take her to emergency after that accident. He was sure she broke her leg. She was fine though. She continues to talk all the time. I can't think of any new words, but repeats EVERYTHING! We really have to watch what we say.

Lots To Say

We've been finding ways to stay busy when it's too cold to go outside and play. If possible, we try to take Lilly out sledding. We were able to take her and Preston sledding the other weekend. You could hear them both giggling the whole way down, it was funny! They love their new sleds they got for Christmas. Thanks Papa and Lita!!
A few of Lilly's favorite things to do lately are talking on the phone. When someone calls, she loves to say "hi" and "I love you". It's the sweetest! When I was off, we'd call Ryan everyday just so she could talk on the phone, plus I'm sure he loved it! Lilly is also having fun playing with play dough, coloring, playing in her kitchen with her new cooking toys, and pulling everything out of drawers, baskets etc.. She'll start to sing her clean up song; I get so proud of her because she's cleaning up... but it's short lived, she dumps everything again! Must be fun huh!!

Lilly Lately: Her new words or phrases are " oh, there is it", "get down" ( that is to Whitaker when he wants her food), "Oh Man" and is counting to 3!She has found a new love for ketchup, ranch and ice. The floor is always wet with little puddles. One of my favorite things she did the other night before dinner was... she climbed up onto her chair, grabbed her tray and put it on her chair, snapped it and all! I was cracking up. Now, she didn't have her bib on, but I bet that's coming. But, maybe not.. each time we go to snap her bib, she'll say.. "hair, hair" oops must have caught her hair one to many times.
I must say, more than ever she is cracking us up. We are always surprised with the words she knows.
One a final note, Lilly went to the allergist 2 weeks ago and found out that she is allergic to nuts. So, we have become a nut free home!
Happy Winter to you~
