Little Miss Spunky Pants

Lily is growing by leaps and bounds! She has been a pretty easy going baby. Recently, we've seen an emergence of Lily's less easy going side. She is a tiny package of spunk who knows what she wants and is VERY persistent to get it!!

For example, it may be hard to tell that this shot was nearly impossible due to Lily wanting the camera oh, so badly. Each day I remind myself that her toddler years with fly by. She won't remember a thing about them when she's seven, but she will feel within herself how much we have loved and doted on her. When pictures are her only reminders of the seven hours I will surely spend on her 4th birthday cake (or whatever big event/family vacation/random outing we have in the future), I will hold those memories within my heart and treasure how special she is to me.

When I was pregnant with her, I questioned whether or not there was enough of me to go around. I am so completely dedicated to Abby and Noah that I fretted over my own ability to give the same time and attention to another child. While some things have slipped, I feel her arrival has centered me in an odd sort of way and allowed me to see what is truly important and what I can "let go".
Life is so surprising! I love you little peaches and cream! You're my tiny cutie pie!



I still feel like I'm playing babies most days.
