Happy Happy Birthday Lily!

I (Melissa) just wanted to wish Lily a happy 2nd b-day. I can't believe she's two! I also thought I would post a few of the funny things she has been doing and saying.

- She calls her little toy red wagon that she loves her "dragon". She asks me what things are and then calls them the closest thing she can remember.

-Along that same line she loves dipping anything and everything, goldfish crackers in water, chips in water, anything in ketchup (sick), and of course chips in salsa. She couldn't quite remember the word for salsa so it is now "applesauce". Yesterday, I asked her if she wanted to go get the mail with me to see if she got a birthday card and when we started walking out there she said, "whale?" So now the mail is whale.

-I love it when she calls things the wrong name, especially her "dragon", so I choose not to correct her. I will eventually, but for now I choose not to.

-She loves to sing "Twickle, Twickle" (Twinkle twinkle) and is trying to learn to go potty. She has done it quite a few times in the last few months, but she isn't quite ready to be consistent about it.

-She likes to be in charge, well mostly in charge of Griffin. She originally called him Grissy, then Gissy and now it's mostly Giffy with the occasional Griffy. She always has to know where he is. (which is usually right next to her) On the rare occasion when he's not, she always asks me "where Giffy?" It's pretty cute. She likes to play ring around the rosies with him, but if he doesn't want to she just falls into a heap on the floor and cries.

-She likes to be in charge of where he sits and what he plays with. I think he really likes that. :)

Anyway, we love our little bean and glad she's in our family. Sorry this was extremely long, but I have been wanting to write some of these things down so I wouldn't forget. Pictures will come soon.
