Christmas and Lilly's 2nd Birthday

Christmas 2011

Tyler and I won the gingerbread making contest. Look at that sweet gingerbread house!

Her new No-Pedal bike she got for her birthday

 For some reason I don't have very many pictures of her birthday. :(

Here are a few of Lilly's Favorite things at age 2: (there are a TON and some I am sure I have missed)
She loves attention from her Dad
Elmo
Cars 2 the movie (thanks Auntie Ryn) - Tow Mater is her favorite
Jumping on the bed
Her nails painted (toes and fingers)
Baby Katie - her baby doll named after her Auntie Katie
Doing things on her own
Jelly Beans
Boys! Yep, already
Camping
Bows or hair ties (She hates them, but at the same time loves to have her hair done)
Oscar her doggy (As long as he is not barking)

Few Dislikes:
Getting dirty when she doesn't want to
Sharing (what 2 year old likes to share though)
Broccoli but like mushrooms. I don't get her.
Wearing Helmet(s) - bike and 4 wheeler. Although she is getting better.
Floaties in her bath water

Things she can do on her own:
Get herself dressed - picks out clothes and all
Puts her shoes on the right feet. If they are on the wrong feet and we tell her, she will change them
Washes her hands. She hates having help
She can say full understandable sentences
She can put a diaper correctly on her baby Katie. She has even tried to put one on/change herself. It was pretty funny.

She is a very independent, smart and happy little girl. It amazes me how much she remembers things. I am so blessed to have such a sweet baby girl. I love you Lilly!

Almost TWO!

Sorry I haven't updated lately. Life has been a little crazy, well isn't it always? My little Lilly is turning 2 this month! I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday I was still pregnant with her. I am short on words but pics always seem to do the trick.This is what we have been up to the past few months. I love my girl more than words can say!

My all time two favorite people

I love my family!

Oscar and Lilly. They love each other. Camping up in Mammoth Creek.

Picking Mommy some pretty flowers

Katie, Lilly, Me, Tyler, Joey and Robert. Camping up Cedar Mountain.

Katie caught a fish! Good size too. She out fished Tyler and myself.

Look, Lilly has hair!!! It is about time. It still isn't that long but it is coming in curly and dark.

Lilly visiting Grandpa and Grandma Cook. I love my grandparents

Tyler and I at Strawberry Point.

Getting dirty at Coral Pink

She was a pink mermaid for Halloween. She wouldn't wear her cute bow or take a decent pic for that matter, but she is still adorable.

Tyler and Lilly working on their computers. She loves her Daddy.

I had a video to upload but it isn't working so this is what you get until next time!

Oh and to see a post that I just "updated" really published click here

18 Months

I can't believe my little girl is already 18 months. She is growing up way fast. Here are a few pictures of her.

6 Months

18 months

What a big difference a year makes. It amazes me every day at how much she has grown.

Here she is baking me chocolate chip cookies with Aunt Katie for my birthday. She hated getting flour on her but she loved to put the chocolate chips in the batter one by one. Thanks Aunt Katie for teaching Lilly how to bake!

She is always so happy

I LOVE this picture and the people in it. :)
