Lilydoins 9-28-08

Lily is growing like crazy. Each week, well - actually each day, she learns a whole new set of tricks. In an effort to document her early-age genius (hee hee), here's a list of things that happened in the World O' Lily this week...

1. Juish and Quackers: Lily can say this oh-so-clearly now. She knows what they are and requests them often.

2. Shoeezz = Go Outside: Lily will fetch our shoes and insist we put them on. With shoes on, she knows the possibility of going Outside is one step closer.

3. Telling Max "No": If Max even accidentally nears her juice or quackers, she points her finger at him and fusses "no no no". As you can guess, he IS a fan of the occassionally misplaced quacker.

4. Her Animal Sound Vocab has grown: She now knows what Max will say (panting sound of "haa haa haa") and what the sheep will say ("baaaaa"). Lily can also say "Biiiii" for bird.

5. Food Requests: When she wants a bite of what we are eating - she walks up to us and opens her mouth wide. We call her our little baby bird. She'll open her mouth wide wherever she may be standing too (i.e. across the room) if she sees us with something yummy.

6. Kitty Stalking: As seen in the above picture, Lily loves to follow around the ever elusive Kitty. She'll copy her Meow with "Maaaaaa". Kitty manages to stay one step ahead of the little sticky fingers.

7. Running Laps: Lily knows one speed: FAST! She loves running indoors or outdoors. She prefers a good chase too (whether from Mommy, Daddy or Kitty).

8. Climbing Accomplishment: Lily crawled into her baby bed. So yes, the cutsie bumpers are off and the bed is on the lowest setting crib-wise. To me - it has never looked more like a cage (which, we all know that's what a baby crib is really for)!

9. Love for Dance: Lily loves to dance. Her favorite moves are Turning Around and making a dramatic fake fall (we're cataloging it as Interpretive Dancing).

10. Sharing Snacks: Lily will also share her quackers with us. We've noticed, however, that she shares her least favorite quackers (bunny quackers). Hmmm....it's still "sharing" though, right?

Wow - what a week! Sounds like there is some serious growing up going on at the LilyPad! I love the list feature...looks a lot like some CUTE scrapbook pages I've seen ;-)

I love the birdie mouth look. You'll have to capture that one on film and share!
