Snapshot of Lily.

I fall in love with this little girl of mine more and more each day.

Can you believe my bab-be is now nearing 21 months old? Before you know it, she'll be a proud and terrible two year old.

Her favourite things at the moment are

• cats (*shudder*), 
• Minnie Mouse, 
• backpacks with wheels, 
• the pool, 
• her own 'bab-be'/s, 
• peeled apples, 
• potato crisps (the shame!), 
• banana smoothies, 
• toast with jam, 
• The Tweenies, 
• Jet's 'Are you Gonna Be My Girl?', 
• Robbie Willams/Gary Barlow 'Shame', 
• her nightly bottle of milk, 
• her dad's shoes, 
• saying 'bye bye' to anyone and everyone,
• giving away kisses to every doll/teddy/parent/sister, 
• cups with sippy straws, 
• stairs, 
• showers, 
• clothes and shoes, 
• holding bags, 
• reading books, 
• attempting to count to three, 
• wanting to jump in the pool unaided (!!!!), 
• cleaning up, 
• colouring, 
• drawing on walls, 
• eating 'Pizza Shapes and Tim Tams', 
• walking, 
• watching 'Jojo's Circus', 
• holding the 'sheep bag' her Auntie Kimbofo gave her, 
• touching the bin, 
• pretending to wipe her bottom with toilet paper (*I know*), 
• her dummy/s which she calls her Nana (!!), 
• pushing anything around in her dolly stroller, 
• putting her hand down my top (!!!), 
• waking at 4:30 in the morning, 
• cheese/ham, 
• wearing her big sister's shoes (or her mum's or her dad's), 
• laughing, 
• talking (non-stop), 
• Skype-ing, 
• holding hands, 
• taking off her clothes, 
• waving with both hands to anyone/anything when exiting the room, 
• planes - future plane-spotter here - , 
• anyone playing/brushing with her mullet hair, 
• wearing necklaces, 
• telling stories, 
• playing a certain game her and big sister Monet call Dad-da (which has nothing to do with MrL, just running to object to object and shouting 'Dad-da'), 
• hugs, 
• stickers, 
• hairclips, 
• sunglasses, 
• playing in the curtains (to annoy me!), 
• touching buttons of any size or shape, 
• turing off the amplifier which our tv runs through with her big toe, 
• touching all her big sister's stuff, 
• picking up her big sister from school, 
• watching her big sister, 
• wanting to be like her big sister (!!),
• I'll tell you the list can go on.....

That's my snapshot of Lily, ages 21.5 months.  Love her to bits.  We all do.
