Lilly Monkey is 20 months old!

Every morning, Caroline and Lilly have a bowl of dry cereal (yum, health food!) sitting in their chairs that Grammy made them and watch some PBS shows...usually Elmo & Curious George. Lilly was agreeable enough to let daddy practice using our umbrella flash while she ate her cereal. I love the look on her face and her monkey pajamas that uncle Daniel got her for Christmas.

Lilly is holding one of her two "mamies" while in her TV chair.

She loves her babies and usually has to have at least one out every day. She carries them around, sleeps with them, pushes them in the stroller or shopping cart and feeds them their bottles.

She's blowing her kazoo at Caroline's family birthday party in Oklahoma, a couple of days after Christmas.

Lilly is a very happy girl! She can just wander around and babble and sing to herself for a long time, playing with whatever she can find. She is growing up so fast already. She has an opinion on what shoes she wants to wear. She still doesn't have a very varied or healthy diet. She refuses most vegetables and meat. She does like fruit, but other than that, she'd prefer to have crackers, cookies, marshmallows and her beloved milk! She asks for gum all the time, since Caroline is allowed to chew it. I've given it to her a few times and she swallows it every time, so we're stopping that for a while! Lilly is a sweet girl and has a very easy-going personality (most of the time!) Of course when she doesn't get her way or has an altercation with her big sister, she has a crazy-loud shrill scream that has earned her the nickname "Old Yeller" by her loving Boom-paw! I love the way Lilly snuggles up to me when I hold her. She wraps her arm behind my neck and plays with my hair and it's so sweet! We can't get enough of this girl...we just hope she doesn't grow up too soon!
