Our Sweet Lili

 I love having a little girl. Lili is surrounded by crazy brothers and lots of boy cousins. She brings beauty, calmness, and sweetness to our home. She is the little princess and the boys treat her as such  most of the time.

 Lili is also starting to show her drama side too and when the screams start we all come running only to find out she is mad she can't get the snaps to work on her high chair or something silly. She is also into everything rearranging cupboards and climbing on furniture. I think the below picture happened because she was climbing on the little table this flower arrangement was on and it toppled over.

Lili is 19 months old now and weighs about 19 pounds. She is so tiny that people are shocked at how well she moves and climbs because they think she is younger. I'm glad she is tiny because I can carry her and Talmage at the same time! There are plenty of times during the day when they are both on my lap or being carried. She is so good with Talmage and likes to try to put his paci in his mouth when he is crying.

Lili's nursery teacher commented today on how much Lili climbs. Lili has kept this secret until now. She is quite the climber and is really strong. She hung from these rings for a minute. She probably could have gone longer but I pulled her down. We have a rock wall on our playset that she will probably be able to climb with a little practice by the end of the month. Her goal right now is to get up Dallin's ladder to his loft bed. Thank goodness Zane built those rungs further apart because I don't want her accomplishing that goal just yet!

Lili is very popular with some of the older girls in our church. They carry her around like a doll and she is happy to let them. At a 4th of July party we went too, her friend kept turning Lili's head to which fireworks she should see next.

Lili and I went to a mother and daughter dance party. I think she was a little overwhelmed with all that was going on but she enjoyed the food. Lili really likes to eat. She says a few words clearly and eat is one of them! She also says yes clearly and to anything you ask her. I had fun hanging out with just Lili and socializing with other moms.

This little girl brings so much joy to all of our lives!
