Is she a little bit ripped, my mother would say riffed?

Probably asking politely for a fruit snack.


Baby girl also likes some color on those nails. Notice how she has one black toenail and the other has fallen off. Delicate, isn't she. On an unrelated side note, she started doing something that we all thought was hilarious. And now, as she has taken to doing it all the time, while still funny, it is starting to wear off. You know that sound you make with your voice when you're taunting someone? That ha ha ha ha sound? Baby girl makes this sound for almost any occasion.

"Time to get into the car kids," I say.

"Ha ha ha ha!" replies Lily.

"Dinner is ready, wash your hands," calls dad.

"Ha ha ha ha!" she cries.

"Yes, you're hilarious Lily," we all think.


Girl still likes her shoes.




Baby girl spends 99% of the time she is awake running, jumping, climbing, throwing, catching, or twirling herself about. Is it any wonder she looks like she lifts weights? Lily is quite coordinated, having a natural ability it seems to do just about anything physical. Chad and I just keep throwing balls at her, thinking that as long as she is destined to be quite tall, she might as well put it to use.

This seems to suit her just fine as she loves anything physical. Lily is complex though; she does much of her activities while in a princess costume or dress. She loves my makeup and has taken to painting her fingers and toes on every opportunity. I guess a passing joke that Chad made years ago is coming true. He was teasing (oh how he loves teasing) a female colleague of his for wanting to play on the firms basketball team and how women and men shouldn't play physical sports together (and he was probably only the tiniest bit teasing too as he doesn't like coed sports). She asked him what he would do if his daughter(only a couple of months old at the time) wanted to play in motor-cross sports.

To which he cleverly replied, "I wouldn't let her do that for fear that her dress would fly up in her face blocking her vision."

Words, are funny that way they do come back to you.
