And More Birthdays!

The parties just keep going and going! Last weekend we celebrated Patrick's, my mom's and my nieces birthday and tonight we celebrated my mother in laws. It is also my Nephews 15th Birthday today. I can't believe I have a 15 year old nephew!!

Lily's new trick this week is saying "momma", which is music to my ears. Sometimes she says it when she is looking for me, sometimes she says it and then runs into my arms but mostly is is said with a little whiny tone. Even with the whine I love hearing it!! I am anxious for her to use a few more words but she does have the sign for "more" and "all done" and I am sure the other words are not far behind. She is tolerating me going to the gym a few times a week and seems to enjoy the daycare a bit more each time. I am still only keeping her there for about 30 minutes but she is probably ready for longer, I just don't know if I am ready for more exercise! I can't believe how fast the time is going. I saw a baby at the gym this week who was 8 months old and I realized that was the age Lily was when we got her in China. The baby I saw looked so little and still such a baby and I know that Lily was like that but she seems so much older now. The infant stage lasted such a short time and now we have a very busy toddler on our hands!!

Lily and Tommy LOVE the ball game!

Finally, a sippy cup she will drink from!
