Lily Doins 03-16-10

*Chirp chirrrp* If I could put a sound to my blog- it would be of crickets chirping. The blog has been a bit deserted as of late. I do apologize. The math is quite simple, really: (Tax Season + Budget Season at my work + a Busy Toddler)/Pi = Poor Blogging. Ok- just kidding on the Pi stuff. It makes my formula look more smarty-pants. Poor blogging priorities aside, here are some of Lily's latest Doins...

1. WOOhew! - The tone and accompanying gesture reminds me of the Target lady SNL (aka "approved!"). Lily yells "WOOhew" and does a quick fist pump.

2. I follow a you - Just a small grammatical error but one I love. Again, my plan is to not encourage good grammar in order to keep her teeny tiny for all time. (Insert East Texas jokes)

3. Gondols - McDonalds

4. I miss you and I love you SO MUCH - This melts my heart. If she knew the power of these two sentences, we would be in trouble. Lily: "Mommy, I want 2 bowls of ice cream." Me: "What? NO!" Lily: " But I love you SO MUCH!" Me: "Ok- here, lets fix you 4 bowls!"

5. ____ is my FAVorite - Items deemed her favorite: cheese, ketchup, babies, shoes, tv shows (all of them at some point), pee pee and poopies.

6. ABCDs - Her term for letters. While pointing to Hobby Lobby's sign, "Look! ABCDs!"

7. Ready Lily not Lily Come!! - or "Ready or not, here I come!" You got it; I'll never correct her. The Lily Version is too cute!

8. Knock knock, Lily here, call me! - Said when I was trying to teach her the ropes of a Knock Knock joke. It struck me as funny that Lily knows the world of phones FAR better than people just showing up and knocking on our door.

9. Come Meer! - or "Come here"

10. Slinkily - or aka Slinky

Thats it for now. Thank you for following a me and not giving up. Woohew!!!

5 Favorite Pictures From January

I try for Blog Posting Regulars. What can I say? I cant decide: Top 3 or Top 5 pictures per month? 3 is so...small. Soooo, here are my Top *5* Pics O' January.

We made doggy cookies for Max. The flour was Lily's favorite part!

Kitty in a Tu-Tu. I am so proud (sniff).

My sweet girl watching a Princess Barbie pegasus movie.

An up close "artsy" pic.

Lily loves that patio umbrella. Plus, Max is ready to go out.
There's so much in this pic I love.

Lost in Anticipation

It’s that magical time of year! LOST is almost here! In honor of Lost’s return, here is my top 5 character related predictions of the series finale, season 6 (oh the tears of Lost mourning). Disclaimer: This is pure speculation originating only from the scary corners of my brain. I have purposely kept from all Lost talk everywhere (magazine, tv shows and the web). I don’t want to talk serious storyline predictions, either, as I would rather watch the story unfold (or forward-fold, back-fold, re-fold, etc).

1. Two Lockes: Good Locke is really dead. Bad Locke is realized as bad and zooms off in Smokey form to reek havoc on a whole new level

2. Claire: dead

3. Jacob: dead but more powerful than when he was “alive” or “existing” or whatever you call his existance pre-stabbing and burning.

4. Rose, Bernard: Live out their life in Island Past.

5. Aaron, Walt: eventually return to the island and will be the key to Island Future

6. Vincent (the dog): Ok- so I’m one over the promised “5”…..drum roll........
Big prediction: Vincent is the KEY TO IT ALL. All of Lost boils down to Vincent. I dedicate #6 to you Max-y boy.

Sweet Max-y Boy!

3 Favorite Pictures from December 2009

Continuing with the Favorites Theme, here are my *3* favorite pictures from December. Man, picking out 3 has been a challenge!

I was so worried about how she'd react to Santa.
I still remember her reaction when she FIRST saw him
(eyes wide open with a gasp).

Lily's first Christmas program!

I love this pic with her second cousin Bailey.
Lily followed her around like a slightly obsessed admiring fan.

6 Favorite Pics from Sept, Oct and Nov

Instead of boring my readers (all 3 of you, bless you) with a long pictures post, I decided to try a "favorite pictures" post. In an effort to get caught up to current, here are 2 favorite pictures, per month, for September, October and November. "Favorite" varies in definition for me. Sometimes it means silliest, or most memorable or even the small things I dont want to forget. And other times, it means a picture that I thought was just so stinkin' pretty. Enjoy!

September

A Silly favorite of mine

The girl loves a mirror! So a Common Moment favorite

October

She doesn't do this often, so a rare moment
I don't want to forget. Also, monkey see monkey do.

A Cute favorite

November

A moment I dont want to forget: wearing stockings
and decorating the tree.

Composed by chance and a definite favorite.
This one also shows I was behind on pics-
I took Halloween pics a tad into November.

My Handy Dandy iPhone

Continuing in the spirit of graphs, I couldn't find a graph to accurately portray my iPhone useage so...I made one!

When I Look at my Cell Phone

I think this graph was made for me. I made two small modifications.
