Bethesda

Today was such a FUN day! My best friend Melissa and I took the girls to Bethesda, MD. It as about 40 miles away from us. (Patrick is gone for the entire month, so I am trying to keep busy!!) We went to a playseum, which the girls loved. I didn't get many pictures, but they have a sand table room, cupcake decorating, storytime, grocery store, beauty parlor, grandmas room with old things, pet shop with live animals, and SO much more! The weather was beautiful, so we loaded the girls on my BOB and strolled down the street to Jimmy Johns, not too glamorous, but hey we DID have 2 toddlers with us! We had so much fun because our town is SO not like that. It was nice to be somewhere with sidewalk shops and cafes plus the weather just so happened to be perfect! We definately have to do that again.

This was right before we left, she had pigtails and they were so cute. Unfortunately they didn't survive the car ride...

Lillie and BFF Lily in the fire truck at the playseum...

18 mos

On Feb 25th, Lillie will be 18 mos old! Whoa...She is Hilarious. Here are a few pics of what we've been up to....

She wouldn't go up to bed without her purse and this huge wad of play-do...too funny! She handed it over eventually;)






She is the snuggliest girl. Still loves to pull on my hair and lay with me.

This is her and her best friend Lily...They were going crazy with these packaging peanuts. Lily calls my Lillie.. "B". It's confusing for them to have a friend named the same... My Lillie calls the other one "Illy".

Oh sweet Lillie, she is 17 mos old and awesome! We[ all 3 of us] laugh everyday...
she talks so so much...
-she knows all the words in her books
-grabs your hand to play "ring" or ring around the rosey
-loves chi-os (cheerios) and then asks for "meelk" or milk to put in her bowl of cheerios
-she says "peas' when I turn the bath water off so you will turn it back on
-she calls the ABC's - AB
-when we put her in her car seat she immediately asks for the Elmo cd
-she is bad sometimes, at dinner the other night she threw he peas on the floor and then when patrick was on the ground picking them up, she dropped peas on his head!!! uh oh- we have behavior problems:/

Oh and my favorite right now...at night I sing " He's got the whole world..." when I start the song she says "Papa" bc she wants me to sing his name in there, so sweet:)

Oh and today when Patrick got home she waited for him to get out of his car and then said " Hi Dada" like she was 5 yrs old, it made my eyes tear up..precious
