Life With Lily

On Sunday Dad put Lily's monkey around her back and she thought this was the coolest thing. She walked everywhere with it and even started her "eee eee eee" monkey sounds. One thing for sure there is never a dull moment with her these days!

This is her beloved "piggy"! I got her this piggy bank a while ago with the intent of decorating it, but when I opened her closet the other day and she saw it, she wouldn't stop whining until I got it out. So yesterday we put all of our loose change in it because I thought she would have fun putting the coins into his back, which after a few unseuccesful tries, she finally got it! Now ever since then I've had it up on her shelf and she wakes up every morning and from her naps wanting to give it kisses. Well this morning after deciding a kiss wasn't going to be enough she wanted to hold it. I was a little wary because it's so heavy and breakable but gave it to her for a sec so she could give it a hug. Then after adding a few more coin "foods" to its tummy I went to put it back on the shelf and as soon as I did "Bang!". The shelf that was holding it fell and the piggy bank broke up into several pieces. Well, as you can imagine Lily lost it and it was all I could do to distract her with The little mermaid while I vacuumed it up. So, I guess I'm on the lookout for a new piggy bank, and now know that the little shelves on her walls are suitable for stuffed animals only.

Talking on the phone, like always. It's so funny because she loves to pretend to call people but whenever I put my mom or Chad up to talk to her for real she just walks away.
The new joy of stacking things
This is Lily in the cute tutu my mom made her for 4th of July. She was very intent in plucking out all of the shimmery threads of the little pom poms.

Outside with her shades, in our culdesac for the BBQ.
Our neighbors rented a blow-up jumping house and Lily was in heaven, as you can clearly see from her face as she's about to go in it.

After a few hours of playing outside, both she and Chad were caught like this when I came back in the house to see where they went. Lily slept for a couple of hours and then woke up for fireworks after dark!
Fear, a Yawn, or Awe? I'm not sure what this face is saying but it sure is funny. As soon as I brought her outside after she woke up she started yelling and pointing and saying "wow"!
