Spaghetti with a Fork

We recently got Lily a set of toddler utensils. Since she wants to do everything like we do (including make salad) we were not too surprised that she wanted to eat with a fork like us. She just needs to work on stabbing the food herself. :)

Brushing Teeth

Now that we have a six chompers, we have started to brush our teeth each evening. The routine starts with Sarah brushing Lily's teeth and ends with Lily brushing herself. Enjoy a little video and a few still pictures.

"This tastes good!"

"I think I'm done brushing, thank you"

Itsy Bitsy Spider

As you know, Lily loves music. Tonight, we caught her on camera laughing to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Enjoy!

Eating at the Table

Lately, Lily has been eating at the table using her new plate (thanks Cathy!) instead of her high chair tray. This of course, required us to get a bib with a pocket. Tonight Lily realized there was a collection of corn and hamburger in the pocket.

"Hey! What's down there?"

"Corn! My favorite."

"Mom! Did you know this bib came with corn?!"

The "Big" Kid Room!

This week Lily was officially transitioned to the toddler room at day care. She had gone over there to play before but starting this past Tuesday she's been spending the whole day there. It's a pretty exciting room - it's bigger and they have better toys. Kitchens, building toys, climbing toys, the whole deal. Lily now eats at little a table and naps on a cot. Yes, that's right, she sleeps on a cot. I know, I want to see it too. Her new teachers say she's doing very well - she doesn't steal toys or eat off other people's plates. She is generally her pleasant self. But Lily's FAVORITE part of the toddler room is the toddler playground. She loves to go outside to play. Now when I get her its afternoon playground time and while she's happy to see me, she's not that interested in going home. Here are some scans of the pictures her teachers took of her in her new room. Sorry the quality is low - the pictures were wallets printed on regular paper.


"It's so nice to company while I eat my snack."








"Can you believe it?!?! They filled the water table with CHEERIOS!"

One Shoe Walking

Lately, Lily has enjoyed taking off her left shoe. Today, she took off her shoe, handed it to me and then proceeded to walk without it!

"Who needs two shoes? I can walk with only one!"

Swinging

It was very warm here today, so we took a walk to a neighborhood park. Lily really enjoyed the swing, and was a bit upset when we had to head home for her nap. We tried to get a video, but with the sun in her eyes, it didn't come out very well.

Pizza!

Sarah was warming up pizza for dinner tonight, and Lily decided she had to have a piece. Little did we know that she would eat almost the entire piece frozen!

"Eating pizza while walking! Why didn't I realize I could do this before?"

Super Bowl

While today was the second Super Bowl of Lily's life, this was the first one she was able to enjoy with us (even if it was just for part of the first quarter). She started the day with a play date with Ryan.


After Ryan left, we had pizza for dinner. Lily ate most of a slice of mushroom!

"Yummy Pizza"

Look how cute both Sarah and Lily are in their Steeler gear.


After Lily's dinner, Cathy, Melanie and Amelia came over to watch the game. She wanted to have orderves with us while she watched the game.

"This is yummy bread"
