But I'd like to add a quick note on Lilly. She's 23 months old and in the last month, her vocabulary has really blossomed. I hear at least 4-5 new words a day and I just stopped being impressed and just go with it now. I guess what they say is right: the second kid really absorbs a lot from big sister/brother. With Abby, we sat her down and taught her the alphabet but somehow, Lilly learned it on her own. I just quizzed her on all the upper case letters and she got all of them except for N, J and V. And she knows some shapes too: circle, triangle, heart, star and square! And she knows some colors too: pink, red, blue and green. My favorite thing that she says right now is "pony hair" instead of pony tail. It's just so cute to hear, for some reason.
Looks like regular old pigtails, huh?
There were actually 3 pigtails - per her request!
She asked, so she received. Don't worry, it didn't last long before she lost all interest.
A picture of Abby eating at the dinner table.
A picture of Lilly eating like a big girl at the dinner table. She just started doing this a week or so ago. No more washing the tray - yay!!
They were in jewelry heaven!!
She looks like a little person in this picture. And that's her favorite doll on the bottom left corner. It's name is Cheep Cheep.
How many Bakers can fit in a wagon?
Lilly eats so much faster than Abby and this is her trying to eat Abby's share after already finishing her share. And Abby doing her best to protect her food.
Still trying....
I just thought they both looked cute.
Abby insisted on putting Mei Mei's diaper on. She said "I can do it! I've seen y'all do it so many times!" But alas, she was too slow so we gave her an A+ for effort.
And last but not least, this past Tuesday was Go Texan Day at school so they both got all dressed up in cowgirl attire. We got 2 uses out of Abby's Halloween costume, which was an added bonus.
