Dear Lily

My dear Lily, you turn 1 today and I can't believe how time has flown.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital and snuggling with you night and day.  I have loved watching you grow this last year.  You are very content and happy most of the time, you love to be outside, explore new places and get dirty! 

Your personality is coming out more and more, and I am noticing a mischievous side to you...if you are doing something naughty you are nice and quiet, and when I come to fix/clean or take you away from the situation you try and crawl away fast and laugh the whole time.

You love to climb up and in everything.  You will take everything out of cupboards so you can sit in them, empty out boxes and try to climb in and the stairs!, you LOVE the climb the stairs and you can even climb over the coffee table (our make shift gate) to get the them!

Ralph really likes it when you eat because you are great sharer.  You will drop food down to him or feed him when he stands next to your high chair.  You like to eat too which is nice, but when you are done you shake your head and wipe all the food to the floor as fast as you can!

You love to dance, play patty cake and chase your brother around the house.  You give the greatest hugs, kisses and snuggles.  You love to wave bye bye to dada before he goes to work and you go to bed.  Right now you can say "hi" "uh oh" "mama" "dada"  "nana" (banana) and you have 7 teeth, 4 on top, 3 on bottom.

You like to alternate crawling and walking, but are walking more and more everyday.  Infact you are trying to run and skip walking all together.  Sometimes you will stand up and shake your arms back and forth, it is so cute.  Mason and I think you are trying to fly like a birdie!  

You are so much fun and make me smile everyday!!! 

Here are some pictures of you from the last year:
