Happy half-birthday Lily!
Lily is 6 months old already. Can you believe it? We can't. Her personality is starting to come out more and more. She's such a sweet girl and we're so lucky that she's so easygoing. She loves to play. She's having a lot of fun now that she can really interact with toys. She loves picking them up and swinging them around. She love slapping things with her hands. She loves holding the book while we're reading to her. She loves to read. She watches the books intently but sometimes looks back at us to see what we're saying. I can tell she can't wait until she can do it all on her own.
She loves her friends at daycare and they love her. One of her friends, Abby, can only say about 5 words but one of them is Lily and she calls her name all the time. She loves to watch the other kids play. At the end of the day she sits in a high chair and watches over the rest of the kids. She does start to get upset when the other moms come before I get there. She knows when the other kids start to leave that I should be there too. Noushi, her daycare provider thinks she is so smart for figuring this out.
She is getting so big! She got weighed and measured and is still going strong.

She's so happy!
She is SUCH and ADORABLE girl! Her face is so expressive and she looks so much like the two of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that Lily is already 6 months old (and Bella's not far behind)! It seems like we just brought these girls home. It sounds like Lily is thriving. I bet she's going to be crawling around by the next time we see her. She can show Bella how it's done.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so happy! I love it that she sticks her tongue out. She's got the hands and knees part of crawling down, the next part is getting moving. That's going to be pretty exciting when she can get around.
