Yet another "TWOsday"

Today is my beautiful Lily's birthday! She is two years old and her birthday fell on a Tuesday! Just like William's did. Coincidence? I think not... I just wanted to write a post about Lily and how precious she is to me and to our family. She was a surprise that came to us. When we moved to Tennessee, Matt told me that he had a feeling that something great was going to happen to our family. Lily was that great gift. Heavenly Father saw the greater picture and I'm so happy that He sent her to us.
She is such a fun little person. She has a whole slew of different personalities and they all come out depending on her mood. What can I say? She is such a girl!
Lily has such a fun sense of humor. She makes me laugh just by laughing or smiling like in this picture above. She laughs at the smallest thing. One of the things she laughs at the most is me shaking my head no. I don't know why, but she laughs hysterically.
Hmm.. If Lily ain't happy, you know she isn't. Although she is usually very happy, we have our days.

Lily is sort of my free spirit. Lily has been the one to strip (numerous amounts of times) in the bed. Sometimes she uses the bathroom in her bed... or bathtub. She doesn't mind being naked. Lily is completely different than Will. She is her own person.


Lily has ALWAYS been a great eater. She is my child that eats practically everything I give her. She loves candy and snacks, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Since Lily has been born, she has been attached to a pacifier. As you might have noticed in past pictures, she rarely has it out of her mouth. Well, this is the pivotal year! We have been limiting how often we give it to her. We have pretty much weened her from it. Which is exciting! She's talking more and laughing more. And it's wonderful to see all of her face all the time. Lily's such a pretty girl.


William and Lily are very close in age (as of right now, I have 2 two year olds) and also very close as brother and sister. They do fight (and this is increasing) but, they play together so well. They love each other.

Lily is such a blessing to us. I love her so much. I enjoy spending time with her. We have fun doing hair and she wears my make-up sometimes. Lily loves to wear perfume also. It's so fun to have a girly girl. She's a sweetheart and I can't believe how fast she's growing! She's a light in my life.

Happy Birthday Lily!!
We Love You!

You and I share some of the same sentiments about our little girls. Even though we thought we were through having babies, when you came we certainly were not disappointed. What a lovely young lady...can't wait to see you all in a few weeks.
