Lily 2.5

Thinking about Lily being two and a half really puts time in perspective. It seems like just yesterday I was holding a tiny little newborn and now I have a full blown toddler running around. She is such a talented kid. It seems like she figures things out on her own and then just goes with it. Jeff and I constantly have to tell ourselves she's 2 not 10.

Now if this sounds like I'm bragging, I'm sorry. I'm just truly proud of the little person Lily is becoming. She is smart, fun and such a cutie. Jeff and I are always laughing (that is when we're not pulling our hair out) at something she has said or done. So in true Irene fashion, here are Lily's stats at 2.5:
