Anyways, she is definately a toddler these days. She is exploring her independance. She's thrown a few minor fits if she doesn't get something she wants; sits down on the floor and kicks her feet. She rarely sits still and is always on the move. She's pretty good at following directions now so I can get her to throw stuff in the trash and take off her hat and coat, etc. She likes to undress herself in the car. I usually have to put her hat and shoes back on everytime I get her out.
Exploring her creativity with fingerpaints. Daddy looks forward to matting and framing her latest creations. She really prefers blue. And she is certainly a "righty" as evidenced by the abundance of paint on the right side of her paper.
Yogurt is her new favorite food. She likes it too much to actually use the spoon. She prefers to dip her whole hand in the yogurt cup. She got mad last week when I wanted to avoid the mess and feed it to her. We compromised. I got a spoonful of yogurt on her spoon and then handed her the spoon. I cleaned up the highchair and put it in the garage. She is just sitting at the table in her booster seat now. She really likes it. One small step to "Big Girl Land," one giant leap for mom-kind. (Only my third graders would laugh at that joke...sorry.)

Then we headed back to Mt. Pleasant and went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a few hours. Lilly got a tie-dyed dress from Uncle Matt and Aunt Kara. Of course she had to try it on. We thought it was adorable. The picture tells you how Lilly felt about it.....
