Lilybeth Dooley

Lilybeth is now 13 months, 2 weeks old, and she’s amazing!  Everything she does we just sit in awe over.  She has this tent that grandma bought her and it’s by far her favorite toy.  She knocks it over quite frequently and she wants us to pick it up.  So sometimes after picking it up for the 20th time, we hide it, and she goes around the house looking for it.

She can now say several words: mama, dada, dog, hi,  go car, eye (which is her favorite), baba, and she’s really close to saying grandma, juice, no, and more.   She still hates getting her diaper changed, but is doing better.  She doesn’t fight me quite as much when I change her.   She now only has 3 bottles a day of whole milk.  No more $25.00 a can formula!  Whoo-hoo!  Her favorite foods are definatly pizza and cheese.  Lily is now getting told no on a daily basis, and she has been smacked on the hand a few times.  She LOVES to help mama cook in the kitchen.  She gets to sit on the floor with her pot and stir the inch of water mommy puts in it.  Funny story - the other day I was cooking dinner and Lily was playing on the floor as usual.  She got really quite and I looked over at her sticking her fingers up the dogs butt.  Great right?  Harley really enjoyed it.  Gross!  I promptly washed and disinfected her hands, but I just couldn’t get over that.  Ewe!

Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update on what’s been going on with Little Bit.  Which is apperantly her nick name since it seems everyone around her has called her that at different times.  (grandma, daddy, me and even the people who watch her during church).  It just fits.
