I'm starting this blog to tell you all of the things that you do to make me smile. I so wish I had started this when you were born, but you will learn soon enough that your mom is always a little bit behind. My hope is that one day you will read this and know just how much we loved you. It will also be a way for me to keep track of all of the fun stuff you did.

Today you made me smile by trying to go potty on the potty and wanting to read a book. I love how the moment you sit on the potty you demand a book.

You started your day by asking for your daddy who has been on a hunting trip for the past couple of days - he is coming home today and I know you will be so excited to play with him..

Your favorite things to do right now are - talk on the phone, play with your babies, and sing songs.. Last night you wanted to sit on a bench outside and just sing songs.. You have all of your teeth except your two year molars. You love to eat meat, pickles, apple sauce, banannas, grapes, raisons, blueberries, chicken nuggets, and lots of other foods..

I love that you pretend to put your babies to sleep, say "I love you" all the time, and love saying your name.. YOu can count to two, do lots of puzzles, climb stairs, buckle a buckle, eat with a spoon and fork (messily), take off your diaper, walk backwards, say many 3 word sentences, and know more words than we can count. Everyday you learn new words.

Lilly I love you more than I could ever imagine loving someone. I hope that I can be the best mom to you!

Love mama..
