Some days I think that Lillie still looks like a baby. These two pictures of her in the bunny hat, for example, to me make her look so young.

These two pictures on the other hand — taken just a few minutes after the pictures above — make her look much older to me. Maybe you don’t see it, but to me she looks like a little girl now instead of like a baby. Where did my baby go?

Lillie literally fell asleep in her cereal

Asleep in her cereal

For her birthday, Sophie got window markers, for writing on windows (temporarily). Lillie wanted to draw on the windows.

So cute…

Then she happily turned the markers on herself. Both Sophie and Lillie swear that Sophie had nothing to do with it.

Lillie still has a green tint to her face. Later, Poulo asked Lillie why she did it. She said, “I had a green marker and my daddy wasn’t around.”

I found Lillie in my bed one morning, just reading away as the rest of us were going about our day. (Note: She’s reading a book about myths and frauds in the field of archaeology.)

Every morning Lillie eats her breakfast and then Shad sits down to eat his and she moves on for a second breakfast. She sits in Shad’s lap for most meals.

Lillie got a new helmet for her birthday. Here she is trying it out.

Lillie’s childcare fell through one day this month so I just took the day off of work and played with her. We went to the library, had a picnic in the back of our CRV (it was raining), and made chicken noodle soup and apple pie. Here Lillie is trying out her new rolling pin. She loves to bake, but she’s never been able to get that big roller going. She rolled herself a nice tough pie crust.
