Updates...

I've had a few people ask me what we decided to do about getting Lily's ears pierced since I forgot to post an update. From our winter poll it was clear that voters did NOT want her to get them pierced and those people will be happy to know that we did NOT pierce them in December.

However, that does not mean we will wait until she's 16 or anything like that! We are waiting until we both agree the time is right and you can bet as soon as we get them done, I will post lots of pictures!

Lately Lily is spending more time on her tummy. She has already mastered moving backwards, but has yet to move forward. A few times last week she pulled her knees up under her and started rocking back and forth. I don't believe she will crawl before her six month birthday, but it appears she is ready to get moving soon!

Now that she's older, there is no doubt that Lily's personality is more similar to mine, than to Eric's. She sometimes gets this adorable, but mischievous, look in her eyes that I know we will see more of as she grows up! If Eric and I are busy and she's trying to talk to us, she will keep raising her voice until we stop and pay attention to her. Then she gives us this cute little look and we both know we've been suckered--Its only for a few seconds, but it seems like she's saying, "See. I knew I would get my way...eventually! You have to work hard for what you want, and I didn't give up!"

Of course, I know that as she matures, she will ONLY use her persuasive abilities and that cute little look for the power of good! Ha ha...yeah right!
