lily lately

i am continually amazed by how much lily changes and grows seemingly overnight.  it seems like each day brings some new facet to her personality.  i love it.  some of her newest quirks are below...

• lily will randomly exclaim, "are you serious?" (arms lifted up in a questioning manner as you'd expect)
• "look at my crazy hair!" (when her hair is wild and flying all over the place)
• "do it by myself." everything.  no matter what it is or how long it takes. she's suuuuper independent, which is so fun for us. sigh. 
• "i hear the firetruck.  it's going to work to help somebody!"
• "i hear with my ears, see with my eyes." (generally in response to the fact that she hears a firetruck, and says that she sees it.  we're trying to emphasize what seeing and hearing are.)
• "maggie come here!  woo hoo" (the sound she "says" to approximate our whistling)
• lily will fall asleep at night wanting something in particular and wake up the next morning asking for it.
• "look at my dress!" lily is going through a dress phase.  she will only wear dresses.  the fluffier, the fancier, the better.  
• "look! it's the moon!  right there!  see it!?" lily is obsessed with the moon.  she points it out and looks for it every chance she gets.  during the day, the moon is "sleeping."

• 

  she put this lovely combo together by herself.
  a dress with an extremely fluffy skirt underneath.
  because anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
