Oh sweet Lillian Rose

Lillian, Lillian. Where do I start?

 

This little girl is the funniest, most stubborn, curious, loving, hard headed, sweet and strong all in one. She makes some of the funniest faces. She loves seeing her mommy or daddy for the first time if after a long period of time. I love picking both girls up after school. They seem to miss me so much :)

 

Lilly loves her sister, just not first thing in the morning. Ryan is a bit much....... yes....I know hard to believe. But once we are in the car or they are playing at home, if Lilly can't see Ryan, she will find her.

 

Lillian loves the walker. She is super fast and if you don't move your feet quick enough, she will run over them. She has master the run even. She can drive it like a car or run with her arms in the air. Either way, she has a face like below.

 

 

There it is..........

 

This is when she went so fast down the front sidewalk that the wind caught her hair.

 

 

 

Lillian isn't walking yet and that's ok. Ryan didn't till 13 months or so. However, it seems she likes to crawl and not as interested in standing as much. But that walker I think will help.

 

 

 

Lillian loves to eat, don't they all.

 

She has mastered ravioli, sliced carrots from a can (softer...and the ones that turned Ryan's nose orange b/c she ate so many), peas, bananas for sure, mandarin oranges, cheerios, and other stuff if we were brave enough to give her. I know we are a little behind, but for some reason I am more reluctant with this one. Maybe b/c she is my last baby.

 

She can do the "more" sign language but refuses and will grunt instead. I am really trying as I don't want a grunter. She DOES know All Done. She will wave you off until you leave her alone.

 

She even did that to the neighbors dog last night as she doesn't like dogs. She kept waving the dog to go away. Sad but cute.

 

She loves to watch sissy do gymnastics. If it were only 15 minutes shorter. She gets to be done 45 minutes in.  

 

I can't not believe you are almost 1 Lillian Rose. You have been the WORST sleeper in the world, :), but the blessing has been that you have only been on antibiotics once or twice.

 

She is taking them for a double ear infection now, but what a blessing to say that she has only had one. Poor Ryan had 5/6 by this time.

 

I love you with all my heart. You are such a sweet soul. I might have finally gotten my cuddler.

 

I can't wait to see you in this next year. I don't want it to pass, but I want to enjoy every minute with you.

 

Ryan's cheer season

Ryan's cheer season was great. There was some hot games and there were some cold games. There were some wins (very few) and there were some losses. But the girls ALWAYS won.

 

I really think this was a great experience for Ryan. She got to be with Ari every week since they do not go to the same school, she met some girls that were in her grade and then met some older ones that all go to Saigling.

 

She learned dances, cheers, got to do millions of cartwheels and just have fun.

 

 

 

First game = hot!!

 

 

Second game = cold!!

 

Good old Friday evening practices.

 

Ready, OK!

 

 

Y-E-L-L everybody YELL!

 

 

 

Blue and White, we are the BEST!

 

 

 

 

Water break.....I am photo break.

 

 

Go (clap, clap, clap, clap) Fight  (clap, clap, clap, clap) Win  (clap, clap, clap, clap) , GO FIGHT WIN!

 

Eme and Ryan. Both in kinder at Saigling.

 

 

Last game, momma put eye liner and horseshoes on her face.

Calling the cheer b/c she got the Spirit Stick.

Getting ready for the Spirit Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ari and Ryan Spirit Day

 

 

At the end, they all got trophies. Ryan was so excited to get her FIRST trophy EVER.

 

 After Spirit Day we had a birthday party. Nothing like skating in your uniform.

 

Overall, it was a great season for the girls. I don't think we will do anything during the winter season as we need a break. I think soccer is our next adventure.



Growing up

Lillian is getting so big. She will be 1 in about 2 weeks. I am freaking out how fast time flew by. I don't remember it being this fast with Ryan.

 

Lillian doesn't get caught by the reverse psychology.

 

 

"Lillian, don't smile.....don't you do it~"

 

And this is what I got..............

Ryan and friends during class.

 

Ryan loves climbing trees. She climbs the ones at Nana and Papas all the time too.

 

Another first......Ear Infection

Another first for Lillian. She has a double ear infection. Phillip saw her tug on her ear earlier in the say Saturday and then I saw her do it at moms. So he took her to the after ours clinic Sunday morning and bam! Double ear infection.

 

We are hoping we caught it in time due to she is happy and been doing fairly well.

 

 

She is sporting her I heart my Nana shirt.

 

Go Cowboys!!!

 

Mom and daughter ice cream afternoon.

 

Lillian has been doing this thing where if you say "Go night night" she will put her head down on a pillow. She is so silly.

 

Ryan's school picture day. I can't wait to see them. The pictures looked pretty "Fall" like so jeans it was.

 

Go Cowboys!!!

 

Ryan got a writing pad from Phillip and loves to write things down. Of course we think it's col b/c she is learning, but she likes to show up what she is doing in school.

 

Well, are there any words? Really?

 

Duck face selfie.

 

Sharing a snack between sisters.

And well...... she is a STAR!
