Lulu

Can you even believe how big and cute this girl is getting? I cannot. I still refer to her as a baby even though she has been a toddler for quite some time.

Here's what Lily's M.O has been lately:

• making this cheesy smile when you catch her eye
• being a TERRIBLE pest to her brother whose patience is growing slim
  
• asking if everything is "hot"...don't blame you sister, everything is HOT in St. Louis right now
• chin-ups on anything she can hang on
  
• all things that involve lots of motion and/or with final result being on top of something
• sitting on our heads when we're lying down and then bouncing
• kisses...mainly to men
• eating meat, no veggies, little fruit, sometimes bread
• hiding something behind her back and running when you catch her with a forbidden object
  
• new words..."hat" is the most recent addition
• swinging at the playground "wee? wee?"
• trying to run faster than her little legs will allow resulting in lots of spills
• playing momma to her baby
• putting a purse on her arm and saying "bye-bye"
• playing with stickers
• she loves when you scare her or chase her...I have the rug burns on my knees to go along

Oh Lily, you are such a character. I love you to pieces even though you put my toothbrush in the toilet and sucked the water off of it a couple of nights ago. You keep us on our toes (more like on foot, running), lest anyone think about getting lazy around here.
