Here are the pictures of Lily from this morning. She had to get up early to go to school with me. We had an inservice day, so she got to play in my room all day. Of course, she entertained the rest of the faculty at school with her new words and new things she is doing. 
She was still half-asleep while she was eating her cheerios for breakfast.
This is a picture of her last night. She was jumping up and down on our bed after her bath. 
So, onto the cute news- Lily went to get a real haircut today. She had gone twice before for little trims, but today was the big haircut day. Her layers are growing out, and her bangs were so thick. So, our hairdresser suggested that we get rid of most of them. I read another fellow blogger's blog the other day about how her daughter's bangs grew from the back of her neck. It is so true. Lily's hair was all bangs!
But, now, we are off to some sort of a hairstyle for my princess. We are still longingly waiting for the day when he can cut it into a bob-style. (It is almost there!) But, for now, we are going to let all of the old bangs grow out and meet up with the rest of her hair.
She really likes her new cut! So, does Mama and Baba. She is really going to get tired of me telling her daily that I wish Mama's hair could look just like hers. It is so shiny, thick, and beautiful. Not at all what I was given. But, I am thankful for the hairs I have at this point, especially since so many of them are turning a terrible color all of a sudden!Lily is talking up a storm. Every day brings some new words and new dance moves. She is soaking up everything like she is a little sponge. We just say a word, and she immediately tries to repeat it.
I think I mentioned earlier that she loves saying "cheese" for please. We were teaching her to say cheese for pictures, and somehow, she must have gotten confused. So, I guess when we are taking her picture, she is saying, "Please take my picture!"
This last video is to show off her newest words:
We just love hearing her say "pineappey"!
Lily has just discovered that she can move around like animals. She has some more moves, but these are two that I actually caught on tape the other day.
I had to go back to work today. The past month, even with the surgery, was wonderful. What a blessing to have another month at home with my princess! She got to stay with her Rella a.k.a. Aunt Ruella. She was so happy to see her this morning, she did not even care that I was leaving. Nice, huh. I am just happy that she is happy!
Lily discovered Hi-5 since I have been home with her. Now, she loves it! She was saying "again, again" and demanding that we turn it on as soon as she saw the tv every day. Finally, we have gotten her to say "cheeeese" (a.k.a. please) with a big smile. So, here she is doing her dancing moves with the Hi-5 kids. We enjoy her dancing performances every day!
Potty Training Update: We have gone 3 days with no tinkles in Lily's Dora panties until nighttime, of course, when she wears a diaper. She is doing so good!
