Hello, My Name is Cutie

Vital Statistics

Lily had her 3-year appointment today. She's 39 1/4 inches tall, and 36 pounds, both height and weight in the 90th percentile. According to an online height predictor, she'll be 5' 8". Wouldn't that be cool??

Happy Birthday Lily!

She had a great day! A cupcake party at school, and the neighbors came over for ice cream cake.

Always read the card first.

Lily is adept at ripping packages open.

It was a Dora birthday all around. Wouldn't mind a piece of that action!

Of course, she liked the cheapest present - a $5 "hairy ball" - best.

A birthday dinner request.

Owwww, my ears!

Only One Day Until Lily's Birthday!

Lily really didn't want to take a nap today, so I let her play with her stickers instead. Bad idea.

Lily had fun playing with her new friend Cal.

Both are excellent at funny faces.

A gentle squeeze. Could Cal be implying that girls smell?

A sweet hug in return. Lily apparently thinks boys smell.

She's outta there.

Smackdown.

Weekend Fun

It was really hot here today!

We've been busy lately and the weather has been hot, so I haven't taken any photos. Here are some my mom took. I'm jealous!

Graduation

It was graduation for the older kids at daycare last week. Lily's class was all set to perform the honey bee song.

Notice no one is singing. It was kind of a bust.

This is Lily's best friend Ellie. That's a honey bee costume, complemented by a Dora bag (the height of toddler fashion).

Can you believe Lily and Ellie wore the same dress?? And, interestingly, both of their grandmas bought them the dresses ...

And some random shots:

Yes, those are panties. We're working on it.

That's Gina from down the block. She's a couple months younger than Lily.
