Her favorite...

...thing at the moment is BUBBLES!

 (with close runners up stickers & stamps, well I guess she kinda likes her EVO smart phone too!) 

Unfortunately for me, she recently discovered that the straw works both ways.

 Making bubbles in her milk seems to be trending at meal time. I really wanted to nip it 

in the butt right away, but then she signed bubbles & melted my heart. 

As a mommy you have to pick your battles! In this case she wins.

A week from today my beautiful baby girl will turn TWO!

In our house that means it's officially "Birthday week" for Lily.

She is super distracted by her cartoons, but you get the idea.

Bragging rights.

Happy New Year!

Time for some good old fashion bragging:

•Lilith knows ALL of the alphabet •

(As in can identify all twenty-six letters)

•She can count to 12 •

( after that she kinda makes up numbers). 

•Her vocabulary is outstanding, & growing daily •

(Starting to form small sentences.)

•Uses *over*fifty signs •

(Correctly & in proper context.)

• Completes puzzles designed for 3&4 year olds •

• Names body parts •

(Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, hair, hands, feet, toes, fingers, belly button etc.)  

• Can identify colors & some shapes•

(She LOVES stars & circles especially) 

• Can draw the letter 'A' & 'O' •

• Sings (& acts out) the Itsy Bitsy spider & other songs• 

& All before her second birthday!

SPEAKING OF, it's someones birthday month!

Today I will be making her invitations up & hopefully sending them out tomorrow!

We decided where the rumpus will be held & will be revealing it in the next post! 

Aquarium fun!!!

Grandma took us to the Aquarium last week! It was over a year since we had gone. This time Lil was MUCH more into the exhibits. We had SO much fun, & stayed til it closed! We practiced sea life signs the night before we went, so I could show her what they were as we signed them. We learned: Fish, shark, whale, dolphin, jellyfish, penguin, turtle, & crab!!  I had more than one camera on me (as usual)  & grandma took over a point & shoot for a while! So we got lots of photos, from lots of points of view! She even took mommy's big girl camera for a whirl!!

& two very awesome videos!!

Photo dump!

My point &shoot camera and my cell phone are chock full! Time for a quick photo dump! 

 ^^Tooth brushing PRO right here folks. ^^

She not only rocks at it, but she LOVES brushing!

^^ Patiently waiting for daddy @ Macy's! ^^

^^ Visit to the Pedi, Daddy's reading her some classics! ^^

^Sidenote: We got the Mr.Potatohead room, SCORE!^

 ^^ Wearing mommy favorite hat (& Rowan's hoodie!) & signing "Bird" ^^

She signs the same thing for bird & duck, but mommy knows what you mean baby girl!

(Technically her hand should be at the right side of her mouth, but shes not even two yet, so..)

 

^^Cookie monster goes basically EVERYWHERE we go.^^

^So I told him he couldn't come trick or treating unless he had a costume.^

 ^^ Some of our pumpkins, Lil saying "Spooky" & decorating her McBucket!^^
