Growing up, more words, getting fun. Matching Dresses

Lillian is just growing up so fast. She knows quite a few words, but putting them with what she wants isn't quite there yet.
 
Until now.
 
I was on the phone with Becky when the girls were playing so good and with each other. They were playing with the aqua doodle. They used water, which Ryan got herself. Then Lilly decided she needed to pour out the water.
 
She then came up to me, with the container in her hand, and said "Water." More Yayer, but I knew exactly what she wanted. That actually took me by surprise.
 
She can say shoes, but to come up to me and tell me that she wanted more water just solidified that she is growing up.
 
 
I love these dresses. Now that Lilly is almost in 24 months, they have more things that match with the older girls. I got these at Sams. They wore them for two days straight.

Oh sleepy baby......how sweet........NOT! She was up till 11pm last night. Don't know why........


Our little super star. HayHay got these glasses for the kids at her couple's wedding shower over a year ago. She found them and loved them.

Haircuts for the summer

Haircut time.
 
Ryan had been talking about getting her haircut short for months. She wanted shoulder length hair. I bit the bullet and let her cut it. It will grow back, right?
 
We didn't go really short, but I had the lady but around her shoulders and Ryan loved it. She also get her bangs cut. It makes her look younger, which I love. She is so darn cute with her hair cut.

 She has been out of kinder for a few weeks and playing really hard. I was out of town in CA last week and Phillip said that Ryan was passed out every night after putting Lilly down. She has gone on a few field trips already. She got to go to the movies, a museum, Paint N Party and Bowling. She is having a great time so far.
 
She is eating us out of house and home. (They both are.) Phillip just laughs at times b/c all they do from the time they get home is eat. He can barely get food on the table before they are asking for more.
 
Ryan is getting tall, reading and has Phillip's old phone now, aka HER phone. :) She wants a new cover for it and such a big girl.
 
She still loves the monkey bars (well hasn't had time really since her hand got a huge blister).
 
Ryan is so awesome. She is still loving her little sister. She takes care of her in the car, makes sure she brushes her teeth and rolls her eyes when Lilly copies her in a "look at her copying me" way. It's precious.

Ta Da!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

 
 
Oh Lilly, aka Pit Boss. This one rules the roost. Her favorite (non favorite parental words) are NO, MINE, and ME. I have gone into her classroom and thought I was in the movie Nemo. MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE......MEEEEEEE.....and NO. Music to me bleeding ears.
Lilly is so funny. Even with the almost 2 years old attitude, there are some very comical moments. When she copies Ryan, when she sings, when she says MOMMY/DADDY, plays in Ryan's room, runs, puts her baby nite nite....these are the moments that make my heart melt.
She is getting a little taller it seems, but still so little. She is in the appropriate age of clothing. She wears 18-24 months and it 19 months old. She can say lots of words.
Along with the simple words (puppy, baby, ball, dog), she can say school, shoes, down, help, popsicle (trying to get video uploaded), home, and more. Her vocabulary is growing with sweet and not so sweet words.
She is still working through foods and very temperamental with her eating habits. She WILL NOT eat a PB & J when put like a sandwich. She has to take it apart. She doesn't like blueberries, like her sister (Ryan's is from when she got sick and had a seizure Dec 2013. She ate so many that she thought that's what made her sick). Lilly still loves Maizie cheese, liker her sister. She eats carrots out of the can, eggs, shredded cheese, LOVES strawberries, not a fan of watermelon, of course consumes bananas, drinks milk more than water these days and continues to contribute to the deficit we are in from groceries.
She had her first trimming of her bangs on Sat 6.20.2015. She watched Ryan get her haircut and wanted to sit in the little pink jeep too. I had the lady just hurry and get a few cuts in before Lilly noticed.
 
Ta Da!!

Oh how I missed these 3 during my work trip. Phillip did amazing with them along with the truck not going over 30 mph and having to get fixed, having the house AC go out and making it to Ryan's Father's Day performance.
 
This one is awarded FATHER of all time.
One of my fav pics.
