Lily update

Getting the time to actually type up an update of late has proven rather difficult!  I have a few very rare moments right now so thought a Lily update is a little overdue...

My absolute angel, such a truly soft little caring soul, the light of my life, the cutest little girl to have walked this earth, so intelligent, extremely funny and just an absolute joy from the moment she wakes up to the time she goes to bed.  We are so very blessed with our precious little Lily and my heart swells with pride when I talk or think about her.  We are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives.

Lily's vocabulary astounds us! The words and phrases she comes up with blows our minds.  I love that we can have full on conversations now and that she grasps most of what we are trying to communicate with her.  Some of her pronounciations are adorable, providing SO much entertainment!  She has even grapsed the pronounciation of our ridiculously difficult surname saying "A foo tig"!  Although not completely mastered, she definitely says it better than the majority of the population!

Her manners are impecable - always remembering to add her pleases and thank you's!  The other day my mom lent us her laptop to skype my husband while he was in Australia and when she came to collect it, out of the blue Lily says, "Thank you very much granny for the computer".  So precious how she knew that my mother had lent it to us and in addition to thank her for doing so!

Lily is still such an amazing big sister and constantly makes her brother laugh! She loves to hold him, give him kisses and play with him.  She is never jealous.  We realise that this is another huge blessing.  Long may this sibling love last!

Still such an incredible sleeper, Lily goes down at around 8pm now and loves her story time and "mom and dad chat time" before saying goodnight.  We then say our "I love you's", switch off her light and close the door and we don't hear another peep until around 6:30am.  Her midday naps are also amazing with her going down at about 12:30pm and only waking at about 4pm.  As a result we don't have that many play dates in the afternoons and try to do most of our fun things in the morning.

I could ramble on and on about my precious little angel, I am such a proud mommy.  She fills our world with so much delight and I grow more and more in love with her every single day - who knew that was possible?!
