Hugs and Kisses from the Sweetest Little Girl!!!!!!

This has been such a great month! I enjoy being with Lily so much and playing with her and watching her grow and learn. She is a walking and running pro now! Super duper fast! I am constantly having to watch out for her, b/c she can be right up at me before I realize it. I don't know how many times I have almost stepped on her little toes! She is just a joy....her Daddy and I adore her!!! The last week or two she loves to run up to me and Jim and gives us the sweetest hugs....sometimes followed by kisses! We just love it!!!! She seems to understand almost everything. She is very good at going to get something for me if I ask for it, or if I tell her to go put something back where it came from she will do that too. Also for several months now she puts her pajamas in her dirty clothes hamper each morning. I just love seeing her do these things and she loves doing them! She has 8 stacking cups and she has gotten very good at correctly stacking them all inside one another, she has also gotten very good with her shape sorter and is learning how to put together her puzzle. She likes to play with her stacking rings and stack them back up...she used to just like to take them off....there have been so many developmental changes in the past month! For a couple of months now she will tell you hold she is by holding up one finger when you ask her! It is so fun just waiting to see what she will learn to do next!!

This past weekend we went to Waycross. On Saturday we went to the Lastinger Family Reunion which was at The Okefenokee Swamp Park. We had a great time despite the 100 degree weather! Lily had so much fun running around and playing with the other children there. She fit right in and followed them everywhere! She also got to see some alligators swimming around in the swamp. Later that afternoon she got to spend some time w/ Grammy and Grandad...she had a great time as always. Then on Sunday we went out to Millwood to see Granny Faye and Papa Greg. Lily got to ride the Gator w/ Papa Lastinger (Big Papa) and Jim to see the cows.....she loved this and moooooed all afternoon. She also got to visit the chickens. A very exciting weekend for a little girl!!!!


Couldn't you just squeeze her!!!!! :)

Look closely and you can see the gator swimming up to us!


She had so much fun playing w/ the kids!
