Hard to believe we’re already planning Lilly’s 2nd birthday party!  You might be able to tell from this photo that Lilly has started picking out her own clothes.  Sometimes this makes for quite a colorful combination!  I am blown away by how well she is doing with Robin and how she is adjusting to having a little sister in the house.  She certainly has a lot of distractions with my parents being here but regardless is doing far better than I would have imagined.  At this point she repeats much of what we say and is picking up new sentences and phrases daily.  She still speaks in 5+ word sentences and is able to carry on conversations with most people.  Lilly is also able to apply more complex questions to correct situations, asking “where is it?” and “what hapenned” frequently..unbelievable. 

Purple Milk:  Lilly still drinks rice milk when she wakes up in the morning and from naps.  The milk tends to be in a purple sippy cup and this past month she asks for her ‘purple milk’ immediately upon waking.  I bought new blue sippy cups last week and she would not drink from them!  Had to have her ‘purple milk’! 

Special Treat:  Nana Judy bought Lilly a rice krispie treat with sprinkles and called it her ‘special treat’.  For several nights afterwards Lilly expected this after dinner and, in her cutest and most pathetic pouty face, asked for ‘more special treat’ repeatedly.  Needless to say she’s not getting any more of those!  🙂
