Young Hearts Run Free

This week brought a Valentine's celebration at school on Tuesday where she made Mom and Dad a card with her handprint and gave Valentine's to all of her friends and teachers, and also received a few herself. She wore her special V-Day outfit courtesy of Grandma Gail, as seen below.

The weekend brought the stomach flu to Mom so Lily got to share some quality time with Dad on Friday into Saturday - Mom does not handle illness well (i.e.: lots of needless complaining) so hats off to Dad for handling it so well.

As it was a really chilly this weekend, and Mom was under the weather, Lily had an opportunity to play with all of her toys that she had neglected over the past few weeks - she was very busy on Saturday and I believe every toy she owns made its way out of the toy box.

We took an excursion to the mall on Sunday, and had dinner with John, Michelle, Hayley, and Cole - some pics below.

No school on Monday for Prez Day so Lily had some more time to play with all of her toys.

Developmentally, Lily can identify her nose, mouth, hands, feet, and toes, and we are working on the eyes and ears - the "Head and Shoulders" song has become a staple in our home. She prefers to point rather than say the word though - language will come one of these days - she still likes to say ball, duck, dog, ma, and da, and is trying out other words, just hard to understand at this point. ;) She is definitely understanding what we are saying though, going to find her shoe when I ask where it has run off to - soon enough we will have her going to get the newspaper and walking the dog! ;) Although the weekend was relatively uneventful, we took lots of pics and video so enjoy...see you next week.

P.S. Lily sends out belated birthday hugs and kisses to her Great Grandma Essie - hope she got her card!!


Heart Breaker!


Kickin' back in the fridge.


"My belly is so full!"


"I had no idea there was so much tupperware selection."


"Preparing for a morning ride...and yes of course I have my lipstick too."


"Hmmmm...what is going on in the world today?"


Lily and Gypsy helping Mom make the bed.


"Break time!"


Press play...


"Ummmm...a little close Mom."
