Lilly picks up new habits so fast that it’s hard to keep track of, so I thought I would take the time to write about a few of my new Lilly ‘favorites’.

She can say well over 60 words now (probably over 100?) and there are a few that I just love to hear:  ‘outside’ (out-ssiiide),  ‘good girl’ (goo-gurl), and ‘baby’.  The way she says them is so darned cute you just can’t help but smile. 

Lilly is VERY invested in her routines.  Once I introduce something new (like feeding Roary treats or putting the wet bath mat over the edge of the tub) she catches on right away and wants to repeat my actions.  I recently asked her to hand me my towel when I was taking a shower and now the moment I get in she pulls my towel down and stands outside the shower door waiting to hand me my towel.  🙂

My #1 most favorite new Lilly ‘thing’ happens at night when she’s getting ready for bed.  She knows most of her body parts by now and after we finish rocking and just before she goes to sleep I say “I love you” and Lilly says, “eye, eye, eye…”, smiles and points to my eye.  I just love it…
