Santa!

 A good friend from church did us a favor, and visited Lilly dressed up as Santa.  I thought she would be ok since we were doing it at home.  Man was I wrong! She took one look at him walking up to the house, and ran away screaming!

 Notice the death grip!

Not even daddy could get her to touch him!










In the end this was the closest we could get to a picture with Santa.  I had to turn Lilly's back to him so he could sneak up behind us! Maybe next year.

Cheese!

Lilly learned to pose for the camera at daycare.  We could never get her to sit still but somehow she has figured it out.  A couple days ago she found her toy camera and walked around saying "cheese!"  She would hold her smile until I pretended to take her picture.

Baking with Mommy

 One again I decided to not worry about the mess and let Lilly help me bake.  This time it was Oreo Balls!

 

It was going well until Miss Lilly got her first taste of Oreos.  Let the chaos begin! Lilly snuck an entire Oreo and popped it into her mouth without John or me noticing.  Next thing you know she got very quite and has a little trail of brown drool seeping out of her mouth!  A whole Oreo was definitely too much for her little mouth.  She gave in and spit it out and ate it bight by bight.  Here are a couple pics of the aftermath!

Look mom, its all gone!










What?  Do I have something on my face?

Grrrr!

I am not happy! I was trying to be festive and change by blog background to a holiday theme. Only problem is, I can't seem to change the font color too. Help me please! I just wasted 45 minutes on this!

Stickers!

Lilly got a potty chair today. I guess I could have taken a picture of her sitting on it, fully clothed, because she thinks it is a regular chair. Anyway she found the reward stickers that it came with and thought they were pretty exciting. I have never seen her lay on her stomach while playing before.

Somehow she just knew they were supposed to go on her shirt!

Baking with Lilly

For the first time, I let Lilly sit on the counter with me while I was making cookies. It's not that I don't want her help, she did a great job, I just don't think it is safe or habit we want to get started. She was a super helper.

She pretended to pour cinnamon into the bowl, and tried and tired to stir the batter but it was too thick. We were doing pretty well until she realized that the batter tasted good. Messy messy.

Anybody notice her pony-tail? We are trying something new.
