Like Mother Like Daughter

My mother sent me this picture of me the other day. I don't usually post pictures of myself but I was struck by how much Lilly looks like me when I was a young girl - so I couldn't resist. Lilly is doing great. She is into everything - which is totally normal for her age - and is keeping us on our toes. She got a new room last weekend and seems to really enjoy her new crib. She LOVES bathtime with her sister and they love playing together in the tub. Lilly has learned how to climb out of her blue tub so I think my days of controlled bath time are limited! Lilly loves to climb in and play in the dishwasher and has a nack for finding any sharp knife. She is learning about doors and drawers and what it feels like when fingers get in the way. She enjoys her books...and there are definetly some that are her favorites. She loves her silky blankets and loves to play on pillows. She is making all kinds of sounds and has a few words - most we can't decipher yet but are getting closer. She can say "Brown Bear", "Purple" and has a word for Gabby and baby. She has a cute bye-bye wave and can give great big bear hugs (followed by an occasional head butt). She likes salty food to sweet food and has been enjoying fresh strawberries. She only has 10 teeth at this time so we are trying different foods and she tends to want whatever we are eating...
