Walmart De"buckle"!

Well, you continue to amaze me.

As we were shopping at Walmart yesterday, we saw one of Mommy's AWANA Cubbies.  While I stopped to say "hello" you somehow managed to flip yourself over backwards out of the cart seat and into the main part of the basket.  The entire time, you were buckled.  You screamed bloody murder, drawing us LOTS of attention.

How you did it, I have no idea.  You managed to embarrass me and SCARE me half to death. I wonder why my worst parenting moments are always in front of others...

Sweet Sissy

Lily, I love watching your range of expressions grow.  You are trying so hard to repeat what we say. Right now, you only cry "Mama" but I'll take it.  You say Ace, Dada and ball.  You are close to saying sock and shoe.  Your best word is Bye by far.  You are so good at blowing kisses.  You blow into your little hand and it melts my heart.  You walk/ run pretty well but still splat.  You are so tough.  Sometimes, when I just KNOW you've hurt yourself, you pick yourself up and toddle off without a tear.  I love to put your blankie on my shoulder because it ellicits instant snuggles.  That's really the only way I get them.

Your beautiful eyes, sweet little lips and irresistible personality have entwined you in my heart. I love you Sweet Mimmies.

My Little Instigator

Sissy, I love you.  Lately you have shown your Daddy's colors.  You've been such a little instigator.  When you steal Acey's trucks, you hold them tight to your body like a football receiver and pump your other arm to run as fast as possible to my lap.  The entire time you have such a look of guilt on your face. You KNOW what you are doing.  Sure enough, when Ace comes screaming for his truck, you throw it at him and hop up to run steal another.  Although it reduces your big brother to tears, Mommy can't help but laugh.

You want pretty much whatever he has but the same is true for him.  You love to try and insinuate yourself between me and Ace when he is in my lap. 

I love your squeezy face.
