Things I love about Lily

• Lily is the sweetest little girl! She is constantly giving everyone kisses and big hugs! Whenever one of the boys tackles Bob, Lily runs up to give him big kisses and hugs to make him feel better.
• She also gives her baby dolls and her pink spotted puppy kisses and holds them out so everyone else can give them loves, too. She now carries them around the house tucked under her arm. It is adorable!
• Last week Lily realized that we fold our arms during prayers. I hadn't even thought to teach her this yet when I first saw her folding her arms at the dinner table.
• Lily loves to show us her belly button! - and she hurries and puts her shirt back down bashfully. She also shows daddy where his nose is by hitting him in the nose and laughing! :)
• She loves to put things in stuff and take them back out. So, on Friday I bought her a pink purse with a butterfly on it, thinking she'd like to put things in it. Ever since she has carried that thing on her arm as she waddles around the house! Sometimes with her dolly in it or her princess phone. Man, that was the best dollar I've ever spent!
• Lily wants to know what everything is, so she is always pointing at everything for me to name for her.
• Lily loves to play with baseballs. When going to Brayden or Colby's practices, if she doesn't get to play also, she is so angry! We have to remember to bring extra balls for her to play catch, too! Bob is convinced she's going to be our little softball player!
• Lily knows when she is not supposed to have something. When she finds one of the boys' small legos or a tiny piece of something or other, she hurries to me to hand it to me! I don't have to worry so much about choking hazards!
• Lily absolutely loves her brothers! Colby drags her around the wood floors by her arms - and she thinks it's hysterical! I worry sometimes - but they are having a blast! And Brayden plays peek-a-boo with her, a definite favorite! Though both boys run away from her slobbery kisses!
• Lily is a die-hard John Mayer fan! No, really! When she was really little, the only thing that would calm her down on long road trips was John Mayer's version of "Free Falling". And now when Bob turns on the John Mayer music videos on our computer, Lily is right there dancing away! She can even turn the volume up and reaches for him on the screen! I am NOT kidding, I really think she's in love with John Mayer!!

Well, as you can see, we have the cutest, sweetest little girl on the planet and are so glad to have her in our family! Such a girl with her purse and phone!

Still loves her fingers, too.

"See my pretty purse?"
