Lillian at 21 months

I am a little late, but wanted to upload some info about Lilli's growth, development, and milestones at 21 months!

*She weighs about 24 lbs and is about 34 inches tall. Still about 25-50th percentile in weight and 75-90th in height, which is where she always has been.
*Has all teeth except for her canines and 2 year molars, but I think something is coming in soon
*Hair is getting longer and she has 2 layers of bangs growing in.  Still dark blonde.
*Eyes are hazel, some days looking brown, others mostly green
*Wears 18-24 mo and 2T clothing, size 6 shoes
*Wears size 4 diaper - Luvs during the day, Huggies Overnights at bedtime
*Sleeps 12 hours straight - with bedtime around 9.  Sometimes she will sleep more than that, girl loves her sleep!
*Sleeps with Bunny "B" and "Melmo" and her pacifier, "Button"
*Takes a 2 hour nap, going down 3 hours after she wakes for day
*Favorite foods: cheese, apples, peanut butter, corn, peas, chips/Pringles, gummies, guacamole, chocolate milk
*Knows SO MANY WORDS.  She loves to point out pictures in books, telling me what they are.  She can say multi-syllable words (Brady, vaccuum, diaper) and 2-3 word phrases ("Mommy hold you" is precious)
*She loves for us to sing and can do the motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Wheels on the Bus"
*Can repeat the alphabet, letter by letter
*Counts using 2, 4 (but thats it!) If you ask her how old she is, she will do "2" with her fingers, ha
*Enjoys playing with her babies (changing the diaper and putting them "night night") and puzzles, nesting blocks and stacking blocks.  She "cuts" her Melissa and Doug fruit (still w/left hand)
*Loves her shape sorter and knows all her shapes.  Learning colors, can sometimes get them right.
*Runs, jumps, gallops, dancing
*She gives the best hugs and kisses, knows how to give "Eskimo kisses" with her nose
*Loves going to "Tick Tock" (Sunday School) and never cries for us
*She reminds us "prayer" and says "Ah-mee" (Amen) at the end.  She will NOT say "Jesus," but instead says "Bible"
*Has bubble baths (daddy time) most nights
*Had double ear infections (first ever) a few weeks ago, as well as the stomach virus (first time to vomit)
*Doesn't like the car at night, and she thinks every time we get in we are going to see PawPaw
*Doesnt't like going out to eat (she wants down and to run around)

Jason and I both agree this is the most fun age yet!  We talk about her every night before bed, trying to remember what amazing thing she said or did that day.  There are so many things I am forgetting, but she is like a sponge soaking in each new word or action.  She is most definitely loved!

My fabulous sister, Ashley

I love Kelly's Korner.  A few months ago I linked up with her blog when I was showing off our living room.  Well, tonight I am linking up again with Show us your life: SINGLES

I am linking up to show off my older sister, Ashley. 

She is a 30 year old lawyer living in downtown Chicago. 
What else do you need to know about her?  
1. She eats, sleeps, breathes sports, but especially her C-A-T-S from the University of Kentucky (her alma mater)

2. She loves shoes, handbags, and fashion.  Hard to believe we are sisters.

3. She adores her niece, Lilli, and loves to spoil her.

4. She enjoys traveling, I am quite jealous of the places she has been (Europe for a month - no fair!)

5. She is incredibly loyal - ask any of her friends (here she is on far left)

6. She loves a great adventure, and went skydiving for her 30th birthday!

7. If you have seen Sex and the City, then you can understand the fast paced life she lives in the big city.  She focused on her career, friends, traveling, and experiencing all things Chicago.  Now, I am linking her up, thinking there might be a man out there just as fabulous as she is!

Lilli loves her, as do I. 


Leave a comment and I will pass on your info to her!

Lilli's Play Kitchen

 I cannot believe it has been over 2 months since my last post!  Well, really I can.  We have been so busy with the holidays, then busy going back to work.   No excuse, since I have been online.  I enjoy reading other blogs more than I enjoy posting on mine, but I have wanted to get on here to share with you guys what Jason and I did for Lillian's Christmas gift. 

First, I saw the idea from the genius Ana White .  Her plans are free and we were able to complete Lilli's gift for under 200 and little to no headache!  We had so much fun building it!  Lilli has had fun "cook-een" and I know she will always treasure it!

I have pictures of us building (well, Jason built, I watched.  But I did paint!) But these pictures are more fun- Lilli on Christmas morning, checking it out -

The accessories are from "Melissa and Doug" or made by my mother.  Click any picture to make it larger.

You should check out Ana White's website, even if you don't want to build a play kitchen.  She has every piece of furniture imagineable!  Santa brought Jason a new table saw and I have a long list of projects I am ready to tackle!
