10 months ago today this was our family meeting for the first time...
And now, here we are together on Lily's third birthday...
What a difference for all 3 of us these last 10 months! It seems like we've been together longer than 10 months. It's hard to remember what it was like before Lily. She just fits in with us so well that it seems like she's been here much longer. Lily has so much love to give and we are so happy that we are her family for her to share that with!
A few things about Lily for now:
She is the sweetest, caring little girl. She likes to share with us and will give us something to eat and say, "Good?" and then be ready to share more.
We are potty training! Woo hoo!
Lily loves to be busy. She likes parks, playing with her dolls and stuffed animals, toys and play dough. She recently has started to set the tables around the house with play food and dishes for her dolls/animals.
Lily likes to sing. I love hearing her around the house singing. She will say, "Sing with me" sometimes and other times, "No, no singing Mommy"!
She likes to have her milk and watch TV in the morning.
She likes books. She likes for you to read to her and she also likes to "read". I saw her the other day sitting on the couch with her books and retelling the story we had read earlier from the pictures.
Lily is enjoying school twice a week. The transition to school and picking up on school days has been going really well lately.
She loves M&Ms which she calls jelly beans.

Lily makes us laugh and smile A LOT!! It's pretty funny because if she makes us laugh, that makes her start laughing!
Lily is working on counting. Lately though she's been counting 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10. I asked her the other day what happened to 4, 5 and 6. She said they got lost! See what I mean about making us laugh?!?!
We are so thankful for this little girl! She needed a family and we needed her. The past 10 months we have all learned so much about each other. Most importantly, we have learned how to love each other!
10 months ago we made the best decision ever and this little one completed our family!
