Mama Lily




We had an intentionally low-key family weekend - no hassles, no hurry. Lily mostly wanted to take care of her babies, walking them in the doll stroller and putting them in the doll crib for night-night. We did spend some time at the park yesterday, played tennis this morning and spent a very relaxing, wonderful afternoon on the deck this afternoon while Lily splashed in her pool.
Most notable of recent with Lily is the number of times she says "Oh shoot" in a day; it really cracks us up. Another favorite is "guk" (stuck). Also, she is now very consistently pointing out circles in her environment and without prompting; today she found one on our rug and said "circle" while she stood in the middle of it. She is so proud of every word that she says. While we flip through her ABC picture book, she points to the pictures, says the word to me and then says "Daddy [word]" and waits for the praise from Daddy. She is very headstrong and insists that certain pictures depict particular words, like the picture of a pumpkin is without doubt an "apple" and her science card that shows an electromagnet is absolutely, positively "milk". Who knows with that one; maybe someday she'll elucidate her reasoning.

That is one fancy doll stroller! Oh, and I'm glad that "guk" is "stuck" as opposed to the other word that went through my head. Made me giggle.
