Lilly Jemimah

We went to Little Rock recently for Britanie's high school graduation. We spent some time with all my family, but had no camera with us. We went to Aunt Patty's on Saturday where my cousin took some photos for us.

Aunt Patty and Jennifer taught her to make waffles.
We did not bring her an apron, but no worries - GAP was on it and had a new one for it.
She was very serious about whisking her batter.


Jennifer is a great teacher. She was so good with Lilly. It was really fun to see. I wish she and GAP lived closer. I know how much fun Britanie and TJ have had over the years with them.

Workin' at the Car Wash

I told Lilly I would clean out her water table while she napped so she could play with it. Ernie decided to wash his car. And he was doing pretty good until Lilly decided to go check on him.

she got her car out and promptly went to work.

and she did a great job!

She sprayed all of us, the garage, the neighbors...

but she had such a great time!

Where oh where?

So I posted last month about finding Lilly on the floor or her rocking chair instead of her bed. Here is her newest sleeping spot!

Easter Outfit

Look what I made for Lilly! Yes, I actually bought a pattern (I tweaked it a little), some fabric and buttons. I cut it out and made pleats and added ruffles to the pants. And I didn't stop there... no. I also made a pair of shorts which I still need to finish the accent and a basic t-shirt that I found at Target (where else?) to embellish. So exciting. A huge thank you to my friend, Susie for teaching me how to sew and for doing my button holes! I sure hope she likes it. I hope it fits....

Bunny Trails

Easter is right around the corner. Just a few hours away actually! This year, I decided to be brave and dye eggs.

She wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but she was careful.

And whenever anything spilled, she cleaned it up immediately. She intentionally caused most of the spillage so she could clean.

While doing all this, a pretty good storm came through. She watched it pretty intently while her eggs sat in the dye.

Here are her finished eggs!

My Little Baker

Lilly baked her first cake! Ok - well she poured things into the mixing bowl and sprinkled some almonds, but look at how beautiful it is? I'm sure it will taste yummy.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

We put Lilly into her bed every night. She wants her head at the same end of the bed. Her stuffed animals line the side of her mattress in the exact same way every night. Sometimes she puts a blanket over the stuffed animals' feet to keep them warm. What really confuses me though is why we keep finding her in her rocking chair or on the floor.

I am glad to see she is covering up with a blanket.

And look how cuddly she is with Brown Bear. Yes, that's his name. She also sleeps with Pink Bear, Violet, Sock Monkey and Elmo. No, not that Elmo, her other Elmo.
