Lily & Emma's Pad: Catching Up!!!

Wow...we are about to start a new year! This one has gone by so very fast and has been very exciting. We have had a lot of changes this year....our little baby becoming a little girl. Walking and running all around bringing us so much joy and then of course moving to a new state. It has been a fantastic year! Lily has quite the vocabulary....saying well over 100 words and saying 3 and 4 word sentences. She still continues to amaze us w/ all that she knows. It seems that she remembers almost everything and she loves playing w/ all of her little buddies. She particularly talks about Zayne and "Na Na" (Nathan) all the time. We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so nice being close to family and we had a great time hosting Christmas brunch this year! Over the last few weeks Dora has become a new interest for Lily. We have a few episodes of Dora recorded and from time to time Lily would watch one and then when she and I would be out shopping she would spot a Dora book, or doll or something Dora and she would start shouting "Dora, Dora, Dora!" and from then own it has become her new favorite thing. She gets so very excited about anything Dora. It is just fascinating seeing her become her own little person and seeing what interests she has and watching the decisions she makes...you can just see the wheels turning in her head! I love it!!!

I've meant to post more over the month of the December, but we have stayed so busy. Lily loves going to her playgroups and outings at the park. We also went to a smores party a couple of weeks ago which was a lot of fun! The weeks just seem to fly by and here we are almost in January. I hope every one has fun safe New Year's Eve and Day!!!!

The pics are in reverse order.
