Happy Birthday to our sweet little angel Lilly. She turned 2 on Saturday. We had a wonderful day. We started the morning out with breakfast at my parents. Then we took her to Castway Cafe in Howell. She LOVED it! It's a huge indoor jungle gym. In a couple of weeks we are having a small birthday party for Lilly with Preston. We decided to celebrate their birthdays together. I can't wait. Lilly was able to open a few gifts on her birthday. One of her favorites was a tricycle from my parents. It's a pink raido flyer! She can just barely reach the pedals. She would take her bike to bed if she could.
This week has been a exciting week for us (me mostly). We are getting our house painted in the inside. It's long overdue! I will post pictures when it's done.

Lilly Lately: Lilly loves to sit on our bench at the kitchen table instead of her chair. She loves to play with her babies. It's really cute to watch her feed them, and put them in bed to sleep. Lilly loves to put make-up on (I pretend to put blush and lipstick). She loves to play outside, it's often hard to get her to come back in. She continues to expand her vocabulary. I am constantly amazed by the things she knows! We are also finding that Lilly is super funny- if you ask her if she's poopy, she'll blame it on Preston, even if he's not over! She also blames Whitaker for her toots. Ryan and I are always laughing at her!

Hope you are all doing well~!

Spring Has Sprung!

We made it to best buy today to purchase our new camera! But... I also got a new phone that takes pictures I can download to the computer... I feel high tech. I've been waiting for a month to get a new camera, and in one day I got 2! Watch out blog!

Lilly has been home with me this week. This week is my spring break, which means mommy + Lilly = separation anxiety on Monday (I hope not). We've had a wonderful week playing with friends and family!
Some of Lilly's favorite things to do these days are... climbing rock walls, playing with balloons, blowing bubbles, playing in her new car and singing her ABC's. I took Lilly to the Rainbow Recreation in Milford/South Lyon on Tuesday and she fell in love! It's a large room with trampolines, a basketball court and several jungle gyms. It's fantastic! So, Ryan and I took her again today (Thursday). He loved it just as much as we did!
We also got a new car this week... it's a Pink Barbie Escalade. Thanks to my brother for getting that for Lilly to enjoy! She loves it.
Lilly found a love for Balloons a few weeks ago and it's everlasting! Each time we go shopping, she spots balloons a mile away. The other day we went to Uncle Laylor's (this is how Lilly's says his name) and Titi's house. We left with 2 balloons. The next day, the balloons suddenly had a slow leak and we threw them out. A few days later, I felt guilty and bought her a new balloon. I told her when we got it, that it had to go night night when she did. So far, so good. Tonight, we put the balloon to sleep (in the bathroom) and then she went to bed. It's the only way she'll go to bed without being upset.

Lilly Lately: Lilly has learned how to sing the alphabet, clear up to G! She has also started to walk down the stairs (we are right there), she's saying so much...we can understand most of the time, but when we don't it becomes a guessing game- she'll tell me no until I finally get it. You should see how excited she gets when I say the correct word! I crack up. Each morning we look for buses (even on Sat. and Sunday), and she loves to play outside. I can't believe she'll be 2 in a couple of weeks. Where has the time gone?

Happy Spring Everyone~
