Lily has been getting so expressive with her words. I'm sure that I understand more than most people, but I can get about 95% of what she is saying without having to ask her to repeat. She still messes up some things. This is how she asks me to carry her "mommy, carry you" or will say "help you clean up? please" when she is asking me to help her pick up her cereal that she spilled.

It is just so amazing to listen to her sometimes. She loves her new babysitter and talks non-stop about everything she does on Thursdays. Yesterday she must have said "go back, mimi house, ok?" a dozen times on the way home yesterday. The "ok?" at the end of things just cracks me up. She says it all the time. "go to the park, ok?", "help Daddy, ok?" I need to get it on video.

My dad was shopping online yet again, so yesterday a package came addressed to Lily. She understands what a present is and started jumping all around asking me to open it. The word open has been one that we are working on. She will say "bo-hen" but if I ask her to say it slow she will say it right. You'll see that in the video. Another cute thing she does lately is also on this video. You can tell the things that we say to her all the time by the very end of the video where she says "there ya go"

Day three in Huntsville, Day 6 of our Adventure

The family reunion was supposed to start at something like 10 or 10:30, the food was being served at noon and we arrived at 12:30!!!
How in the heck can we be up at 8 AM and can't get anywhere before noon?
So, everyone was eating at we arrived. There was a giant super slide but somehow I didn't get any pictures of that. (If you have some...send them to me please!)
Aunt Gertie and the crew was so sweet to get Lily a Dora birthday cake and everyone gave her lots of presents. She loves all of them especially the tea set and the puzzle that makes animal noises. I love the cute clothes that she got!


I took her play pen with us just in case she might get tired and want to lay down but it came in much more handy for little Rowe. Lily wasn't upset at all that there was a baby in her bed, she just kept pointing to her and telling me that there was a baby.


A nasty storm rolled in and cut the party short. :(
That evening we went to eat at Red Lobster and Lily decided that she really loves crab alfreado.




It was very sweet because on the way to "the Lob" my dad asked Lily if she liked her birthday cake and she said "birthday again?"

Sure, we'll have your birthday again, no problem.
