HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILIAN!

Two years ago, today, at 4:06pm Lilian made her debut.  A stubborn, quite, bald, 4 pound 4 ounce baby girl.  Time sure has flown since that day.  This morning Lilian weighed in at 22 pounds, and is a far cry from that struggling baby.  She has lost the "quite" but managed to really hold on to the "stubborn" and the "bald" :o)
Lilian continues to amaze us each day.  She loves to say her ABC's (only if her brother is not helping) and she is able to count to ten with little help.  She talks non-stop, but what can you expect, right?  She loves to help all of the time; whether it be helping cook, clean, do laundry, write a note, get dressed, you name it, she wants to help.  She has become very independent wanting to do most things for herself.  She is doing well with potty training, and is now in big girl panties.  She loves to read and be read to.  She has one second year molar that just popped through and it is looking like there is one more on its way in too.  Lilian loves to love on everyone; she hands out kisses, hugs, and "I love yous" like they are candy!  She still has quite the temper and will let everyone know it when things are not going her way. Oh boy is she a feisty, stubborn child!
Lilian really loves dolls of any kinds, Abby Cadabby (her birthday theme of choice), Tinker Bell, and Barney.  She still loves to be swaddled and won't go to bed without her "lovie," which is a bear/blanket.
Lilian really enjoyed her birthday party.  She loves to be a ham for anyone that will watch her!  She loved looking back at the photos of herself.  She is having so much fun with all of the new toys, books, and everything.  Although she didn't sleep the night after her party, it was worth it!
Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us, or who were with us in memory!
Thank you to our precious little girl. It is such a joy to see your bright smile day after day.  You have blessed our lives more than you will ever know.  We can't imagine our lives without you, we love you so much!


How wonderful for our Heavenly Father to show himself through the eyes of children!
