Lily has started talking, a lot! Some of it we understand, and some of it- we don't. Here is her saying "Goodbye." She says she is going to Pop Pop's house.

Lily likes to dance... but mostly she likes her daddy to watch her do everything...

Hair Cut

...And it's been a big week for Lily. She got her first hair cut.

She did great! I thought she would scream the entire time but she loved it. She talked to Stephanie while she cut her hair, pointed at different things she saw, and held very still- for a two year old.

Here's some photos.

Big Girl Bed

Lily is officially in a "big girl bed" and the transition went very smoothly.

Ted set it up yesterday morning and she napped in it yesterday afternoon with no trouble. She slept in it last night without any trouble also. Whew!

We debated whether to move Ava straight to the crib or to give Lily some adjustment time in her new bed. Since Lily seemed to do so well with napping in the new bed, we just went for it all at once. So, last night Ava slept in the crib in Lily's room and Lily slept in the big girl bed. No issues. Whew!
