Let's try again

I have been having problems posting lately. I have tried to post this several times last week and was unsucessful.

Lilly finally got a tooth!!! Last Tuesday the 20th we went over to my mom and dad's and we discovered that she had finally broken a tooth through. And she has been a much happier girl, it's been wonderful for her and mommy.

She is also trying really hard to talk lately. She's in the stage where if you know her and see her a lot (or are her mom :)) then you can understand quite a few things, but they aren't really clear words yet. Her latest word is shoes. She has decided that she is always supposed to have shoes on. I guess it just took finding the right ones, because I have never been able to keep any shoes or socks for that matter on her before. I got her some sandals and some tennis shoes and she thinks something is wrong if she doesn't have one of them on. The other day she fell asleep before she got jammies on so she was asleep in her clothes and shoes. When she woke up in the middle of the night, when I was calming her down, I took her shoes off and she got really mad at me. Crazy girl!

Other words she's saying now are night-night, bye-bye, momma, grandpa, grandma, Ericka (her daycare teacher) cup (or sometimes ba-ba still referring to her cup), and my favorite is still Colista. She doesn't call her LC which seems easier for a little kid to learn to me, but it's so cute the way she says Colista. I can't help but smile. And she says love you with hugs and an ahhh. It just makes my day. :)

...This is my sacred beauty.

LC has an amazing memory for music and songs for a 2 year old and lately the song she has wanted to sing is I Love to See the Temple. She does really well and can pretty much sing the entire song, but the was she does the last few lines makes me smile every time. It's supposed to be: I'll prepare myself while I am young, this is my sacred duty. She sings, I'll prepare myself while I am YUM, this is my sacred BEAUTY.

I love that little girl!
