Cycle

So, we have made a real effort to start recycling more in the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure if it's Moose A Moose from Noggin or me and JP but Lilly has definitely caught on. Tonight when we got home from the pool she opened up a water bottle and poured it out and then turned to us and said "cycle" (recycle) and took the bottle to recycling bin. Can you believe it? 21 months old I might add.

Mommy and Daddy

John Paul and I just got back from our first vacation without Lilly. Even though we missed her terribly we were able to relax and have a good time since we knew she was in good hands with my mom. But, to our surprise, when we got home she suddenly went from calling us Ma Ma and Da Da to Mommy and Daddy. She is growing up WAY too fast!

Little Gym Graduation

Today Lilly and her buddies "graduated" from Bugs to Beasts at The Little Gym. As you can see they really should have been graduated to Monkeys.

Boni's

Lilly started ballet today at Boni's. She absolutely loved it! She and all her friends were SO cute in their leotards, tights, skirts and ballet slippers.

Oh, and I just have to tell someone....my little angel came up to me all on her own today and gave me a big hug and said "love, love"! How sweet.

Around the house

What a little princess sitting up on her chair like that?

Today we moved Lilly into a "big girl bed". We took down her crib and gave her a queen mattress on the floor. Here she is helping daddy hang her curtains in the blue room, which mommy and daddy hope will help her sleep.
