Happy Birthday Lily!












Happy 2 years baby girl! We sure had a fun day. We started off the day singing to Lily. She was delighted to have her whole family there singing to her. She especially liked the party blowers. She wanted us to sing happy birthday to her over and over again. Then we opened her presents. Ollie helped her open them and showed her how to play with them. Her favorite gift was the plastic wonderpet figures that Ollie gave to her. She knows all the wonderpet songs and had fun making them dance and sing. After playing with her new toys we went to the zoo. It's our first time going to this zoo and both children had lots of fun. Lily's favorite thing to see was the lions. The lions were laying right up by the window so you could see them very well. Ollie's favorite animal was the squirrel monkey. They both had fun playing on the playground and Lily went down the slide by herself for the first time. We finished off the day with cake and icecream. What a fun celebration for our little girl.

Things we love about Lily:
Papa- "I love that Lily always makes me laugh. I love that she likes to sing so much. I love her determination. I love that she always tells me 'good job, papa.'"
Ollie- "I like that she always makes me giggle and she makes me giggle by sitting on my belly. I like it when she plays with me. She is good at giving me hugs and kisses."
Mom- "I love to hear her talk and sing. I love that she loves to practice walking. I love racing her while crawling. I love that she likes to hide under the kitchen sink."



Here's a conversations we just had that tells more about Lily.
Mom- "Lily, what's your favorite toy?"
Lily- "My green toy." (I'm not sure what toy is the green toy, especially since she doesn't know her colors yet.)
Mom- "What's your favorite color?"
Lily- "Green."
Papa- "What's your favorite food?"
Lily- "Cheerios."
Mom- "What's your favorite song?"
Lily- "Happy Birthday."
Mom- "Lily, how old are you?"
Lily- "One."
Ollie- "Lily, say two."
Lily- "Two."
Papa- "Whose your favorite friend?"
Lily- "Ollie."
