21 months

My baby girl is getting so big! In just a few short months she will be 2! Wow.

So what has she been up to?

• Playing outside! Whether it's riding in her car, kicking a ball, painting or drawing on her easel, running around, whatever, she just loves to be in the fresh air.

• Being little mommy to her baby dolls.

• Doing whatever mommy is doing - cooking, cleaning, laundry - she's always there to help.

• She is very busy and loves exploring.

• She knows lots of shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. Just in the last few days she's been pointing to everything and saying what color it is. She doesn't always get them right, but she's learning.

• She loves puzzles!

• She weighs about 24lbs, wears size 6 shoes, and 18-24 month clothes.

• She has a little attitude. When someone does something she doesn't like she says "go-way" (go away). It's funny and kind of embarrassing when we are in the grocery store and a man will look at her or talk to her and she says, "go-way man!" But it's not so funny when mommy or daddy tell her to do something or pick her up to go do something and she says, "go-way mommy (or daddy)." 

We love seeing how much Lily is growing and changing. She has a very tender heart and we pray that God will work in her heart at a young age. We also pray for much wisdom in teaching and training her as she comes to understand life more and more.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us this precious little girl!
