It is amazing how much of what we say Lilly comprehends.  The past few weeks especially she has just blown me away with what she understands.  When I tell her that we are going ‘outside’ she goes to the door and tries to open it; if it’s time to go ‘upstairs’ she heads towards the stairs; when I say we’re putting on her ‘jacket’ she holds up her arms; her left shoe and she’ll hold out her left foot; if we’re going to take a ‘bath’ she’ll walk to the bathroom or to ‘Lilly’s room’; she waves goodnight to Roary when we go up for naps and for ‘sleep’; and she puts items in the ‘bag’ when I ask her to do so (and much more).  We have already resorted to spelling Lilly’s favorite items instead of saying the word out loud (like k-e-y-s and f-r-o-g-g-y).  When I sing her lullabies now it makes me a bit sad because it’s obvious that she is no longer a baby.  She’s growing up so fast!
