lilliness

I was playing around with Lillie the other day, and I licked her. She said, “Mommy, don’t lick me, I’m not an ice cream cone.”

Lillie took advantage of the empty cupboards while Mommy and Daddy were cleaning them out… 

Lillie went to the doctor yesterday. She is now 33.25 inches long (the 90th percentile) and 21 pounds (the 10th percentile). She is greatly surpassing her developmental marks and doing well.

Lillie and I got to have a morning to ourselves over the weekend while Becky and Sophie went off to the cafe to do some reading lessons. I don’t get a lot of time when it is just me and Lillie so we made the most of it. It was wet at the park, but we still played in the swings and on the play structure. Then we headed home to build some towers out of duplos. Lillie is really physically able, she can run like crazy and spin herself around, she thinks ring-around-the-rosie is great fun, and she can even get the duplos to fit together most of the time. We had a great time. 
  

Lillie is getting really great at going on the potty. On the way to Portland this weekend, she announced that she had to go potty and we thought that it would be too late by the time we stopped, but when we got to Jason and Kristina’s house, she had held it and was ready to go. Again, on the way back to Eugene, she asked to go, we stopped, and she held it. We are very proud of her for potty training herself.
