Lily is one and a half years old! The second year is definitely going by faster than the first.
This was an incredibly busy month for us. Daddy got his doctorate on the 27th, Mommy left her job of 6 years and became a stay at home mom on the 30th and Lily had her last day of daycare (also on the 30th). So this past month has been extremely busy for the whole family. Not to mention, we're preparing to move across the country in another week. We have a few things going on.
Lily is a crack up lately. She has such a personality. She's a lot like me which is both heartwarming and a little scary. She's already very opinionated and stubborn--which makes me worry about her teenage years. She's also talking all the time. We can understand a lot of what she says but there's still a lot of jibber-jabber that doesn't make sense to us. She's really trying to talk though. It makes me even more happy about teaching her sign language. She knows so many signs for words she just can't physically say yet. It's so nice to be able to communicate with her. Some of my favorite things she's saying right now are "mon" (come on) while pulling on your hand to get you to come with her (usually because she wants you to get something to her) and "no way" to pretty much everything.
She also loves animals like her mom. She can spot a dog before anyone else. She can hear a bird tweeting before anyone else. She just loves all animals. And her bunny makes her so happy and she loves him so much.
While Scott was finishing writing his thesis, Lily and I went on a lot of day trips just the two of us. We spent a lot of time at the children's museum that we're members of. We also took trips to the zoo and to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins for Halloween.

We had to go to the LA Zoo one last time to see the baby snow leopards that just got put out on display with their mom.
