Aw, sweet sweet Lily; she is starting to really talk a lot with many new words. Every day, her vocabulary expands in some new and wondrous way. Just today, she started saying 'bubbles!' for the bubble bath she was taking. It was adorable. She also is getting quite vocal about what she likes and doesn't like. And she does NOT like being told 'No.' Oh, the crocodile tears....
Jamisen has found sugar and it is love at first bite. This holiday season has not been kind to our kale loving household, with the slow introduction of the white poison. Plus, the elves on the shelf (more on them later!) delivery sugar many times a week for breakfast (oh, those mischievous elves!) so that's not helping us.
Boss woman Lily is so good about finding her place in our house. She and Jamisen are getting along better than ever, and, she completely knows when he is going to come running over, screaming: "Get her out of my Standy Thing!" or "No! I don't want her playing with that!" and is generally cooperative about complying with personal space needs. It will be interesting to see what happens as she gets bigger! She LOVES to dress up and show off her outfits. She's very proud when she's wearing a dress or sparkly shoes.
Jamisen loves cooking and loves baking. Here he is both baking a cake WHILE using his trucks as instruments of cake making. It's quite a feat and there are still cookie crumbs on the floor. Yes, the elves provided both the cookie (Erin Baker's of course!) and the marshmallows!
We went to a birthday party and had the best time at the gym it was hosted at. The kids got to run around and everyone was happy, especially little gymnast-in-training, Lily.
I jetted off to NYC for a whirlwind Handmade Beauty Box trip.
I visited 26 editors in two days (!) and even managed to take in a show (The Elephant Man). It was a great trip and I hope it will pay dividends in the months and years to come. I did miss my kiddos, of course, but was thankful that Chris held down the home front just fine! =)
