| My babes |
They grow and change so fast. Here's my attempt to capture some of it before it's gone.

| Love with Mom |
- At 1:30 in the morning when EVERYONE ELSE WAS ASLEEP IN THE ENTIRE CAMP, and as we are lying in a tent on basically the ground she yells, “This isn’t camping! I didn’t ride a horse!”
- We never mentioned one thing about riding a horse while camping.
- At a well-baby check for Lillian, we pulled up to the doctor’s office and Grace says, “Oh! Are we going to see my baby dock-er" “ Yes, but it’s Lillian’s turn today.” “Oh. Is she gonna borrow it?”
- “Be nice to are-chudder!” = Be nice to each other.
- If she is allowed to stay in the bath long enough, she will find a way to get to some out-of-reach hygiene product (i.e. shampoo, conditioner, baby wash…) and she will empty the entire bottle before you even know that she’s been too quiet for too long.
- She loves her hair to be in one French Braid.
- If you use the wrong color of rubber band, she WILL come unglued.
- Absolutely refuses to wear pants. She is currently sleeping in a t-shirt and undies because her one night gown was dirty.
- When hurt will asks for a rubber band.
- She means band-aide.
- She loves “fork oranges” which is the name she gave to mandarin oranges because she eats them with a fork.
- She has gotten very good at asking for things politely.
- Is pretty good at sharing and is working on Good Listening.
- If the next door neighbor isn’t able to play, that is grounds for a severe melt down on the neighbor’s porch. Every time.
- Her idea of a hysterical joke is to tell me that she is a Princess and I am a King.

| Sleeping in a sling at the temple |
Lillian:
- Is extremely opinionated.
- Is fluent in growl and grunt and scream.
- Growl and grunting= super happy Lillian.
- Has had her eager grunting conversation mistaken as a B.M.
- Has two teeth.
- Has an enormous open mouth smile.
- Is super happy with other people until her mom walks into the room.
- Loves to try to touch whatever her big sister is doing.
- Pulls the blanket over her face to sleep every night.
- Will command the attention of an entire Sunday School lesson with her grunting conversation.
- Will command it again when she falls asleep during Sunday School and then snores loudly.
- Sleeps through the night.
- LOVES to be strapped to her Mommy in a sling.
- Gets her legs caught between the slats on the crib every day.
- Pounds her feet on the crib mattress for fun.
- Is very excited by the plastic mat we have under our computer chair and slaps it with glee regularly.
- Can only crawl backwards and pivot in circles.
- Finds herself extremely frustrated that she can’t seem to move her body forward yet.
