These are a few of my favorite things...

1. The fact that Lily yells "ommmm!" (for "home!") each time we pull into our driveway.
2. That she waves and says "hi" or "hey" to almost anything...the person down the aisle in Publix, the bird flying by the window, the ant crawling down the street, the drop of yogurt that falls off her spoon...Of course, she rarely does this for people we are talking too!
3. The way Lily says "off" when she sees lights that are off or she wants to turn a light off. There's something about the way she says it that I think is so cute. It's almost more of a question than a statement; you'll just have to hear her for yourself to understand why I like this.
4. That she shares her cup and snack with her dolls and her Mickey Mouse balloon. That's right, a balloon. We have a balloon we bought at Disney that has Mickey's face on one side and Minnie's on the other. She will hand me the balloon, say "Mic?" so I show her his face. She then puts her cup or snack up to his mouth for a second and then says "Min?" so I will turn it around and she can do the same thing for the Minnie side. Will she share this graciously with Amelia?
5. We can ask "where is Amelia?" and she'll smile and point to my stomach. She's working on saying Amelia too, but that may take awhile.
6. That she loves to play in her toy kitchen. Maybe she has inherited my love of cooking. I really look forward to cooking and baking with her someday.
7. Her current obsession with climbing in boxes. I have no idea where this came from, but she loves to empty out a box or drawer; usually she carefully removes one object at a time to show me (though she has definitely been known to just dump things out too!). Then she climbs in, bounces around and shouts "box!" or she will pull toys back in with her. It's really funny to see her in a box with toys all around while she reads a book.
8. That she hates it if you cut her food up into small pieces for her. She wants to hold on and take bites of it instead. Don't even think about breaking off a banana; she will yell bloody-murder if you do anything more than peel it and hand it to her. She just wants to be a big girl!
9. She has gotten really good at using her spoon for cereal and yogurt; she gets most of it in her mouth. She is still working on a fork at dinner. In all honesty, I rarely give her one because I prefer she uses her hand and not make as big of a mess. We'll get around to a fork at some point.
10. When she gets food (such as yogurt) on her hand or a drop falls onto her tray, she says "Uh oh!" and wants to wipe it up immediately. That's my girl...doesn't want to get her hands dirty!
