21 Months!

21 Months!!! Where has the time gone! This count down to 2 is compounded by the fact that baby #2 will be here by then. Yikes!

Lily is growing up so quickly. She feeds herself well with utensils and can drink out of a glass. She is counting to 15 for each stair we climb upstairs to her room. She can even spell her name, thanks to the B-I-N-G-O song. For play she loves to be on the go. Regular outings include going to her gym Monkey Business, story time at the library, grocery shopping, and play groups. At home she loves her kitchen. She makes a lot of tea, which she carefully hands to patrons using a pot holder while cautioning them that it's hot. She enjoys play-doh and crafts at her little table. She enjoys pushing her doll in her stroller (while walking the dog and talking on the cell phone), playing with her stacking pegs, writing on her wipe board, and sliding down her toy slide. She LOVES music and dancing and sings along to a lot of songs whil shaking her 'bon-bon'.

She seems very excited about her new baby brother or sister. She insists the baby is a boy. Throughout the day she frequently lays her head on my tummy, tells the baby hi, kisses them, and snuggles for a bit. Very sweet. Let's hope it lasts once the baby is born!

Happy 21-month birthday peanut!!!
