A Year in the Life of Lily

I know that Lily is now almost 13 months and I have been behind on my blog, 

but lets just pretend she just turned a year...which she technically did. :)

I cant believe Lily is already one year old. She is the funniest little thing ever!

She makes Ben and I so very happy and we love her little personality which is now really starting to show.

So in honor of Lily turning a year, here are some highlights.

Lily's first smile was at 5 weeks

Her first laugh was at 3 months

She could roll over at 4 months

Started sitting up on her own at 6 months

Crawled at 7

Started standing up on furniture at 8 months

Started walking at 11 months.

Now she runs!:)

Her first word was mama 

2nd word was Dadda

3rd word was Aubrey

She can also say Uh Oh (which is her favorite) dog, yeah, no, thank you (which sounds like dink yu)

and has said Love you only twice...still working on it. 

She can mimic what we are saying so she says a lot but doesnt ever repeat it. 

When we tell her to dance she immediately starts bouncing up and down. 

Its pretty hilarious because we will just be in the middle of a conversation and then we 

"dance" and she will drop whatever she is doing and start bouncing. 

Its like Palvovs dog! 

Lily can also wave hello and goodbye and claps.

She is also in a biting and throwing stage so I am trying to be more of a disciplinarian. 

I have been saying NO to her a lot lately. LOL

She usually laughs though at me because I dont think she takes me seriously. 

I'm in trouble!

Lily is also quite the little traveler.

She has been to Utah twice, Wyoming/Colorado four times,

(missouri to many times to count) and Florida once.

I love my traveling buddy!

I have loved absolutely every stage of Lily and each time she gets older I say

"ah I am really going to miss this stage" 

But then I always love the new fun things she does. 

I feel so blessed to be Lilys mom and this past year has been amazing!

I cant wait to see what kind of girl Lily turns into. 

She is my best best best friend and I love her so much!

I'm glad she is mine!

Now for the picture shrine! 

Bringing her home from the hospital

 

We love you Lily Anne!
