Lily's 1st Haircut!

We took Lily for her 1st hair cut!

 It's been a little....wild....lately! Before:

She was ready to run down and get her hair cut by Tran in the Town Center just like Daddy. I had something a little more special in mind than SuperCuts!

 She picked the red race car! And they are brilliant with their little tubs of toys. Lily was super excited! She kind of giggled nervously the whole time.

 Snipping the sweet baby curls! We saved a few. <3

 After!

We love these milestone moments!

Two!!

Two year old portraits!

Lily was a tough subject....AGAIN. She thought the studio was very interesting with all the stuff and crazy lights, but she absolutely would not smile. Mostly she just jutted out her chin, and then cried. She really liked looking at the one of her crying, and kept asking for "More Lily cryin?" over and over! Luckily, she is still really cute.

 Look who else was super cute at age two!!

Car Singing!

Lily recently started singing along with music and reading along with books. So cute!

The feet might be my favorite part!

In other news, Lily peed on the potty for the first time this week! (Times, repeat performance today and yesterday morning). Yay....?

This was actually last week. But she likes her potties. :)

Book Worm

Lily has become totally obsessed with books! She has a few that she is really into, and wants them read over and over and over. Her current obsessions: Mo Willems "Cat the Cat" series, "Puppies" and a book we made for her last month, "Lily Loves." We love it! She is learning lots of new words like "Nhino" (Rhino), "nevermind," "EEP!" "Blargie Blargie" and hilarious new tricks, like what a bunny says.

 She and Jason think they are hilarious. And they are!

 Big hug!!

 "Nhino"

Spring is here! 13 Months and Easter!

Things are looking good around here...the sun is shining, report cards are sent home, and Spring Break is right around the corner! We are also happy because we've been getting some good sleep lately! Hurray! Lily actually slept an entire night, in her crib, without waking up. Well, until 5:30 anyway, but that was close enough to our alarms that we called it! FINALLY!

Lily learned to hammer the balls, and sometimes can even get enough oomph to push them through!

The sun is out in Seattle, and, like true Seattle-ites, we threw on our sandals and headed right out to enjoy it! We stopped short of strappy tanks and shorts though, so maybe we aren't TRUE after all.

On Saturday we kicked our weekend off with a visit to the pediatrician for a goopey eye (these visits feel like a bi-weekly activity around here!), but luckily we were planning a hike near Woodinville anyway so it was on the way. We checked out Paradise Valley Recreation Area. It was perfect! Fairly level with lots of trails. Lily loved the bikes and dogs, and we even saw a woodpecker!

 We walked for 3 miles, and when we were almost back we decided to let Lily "hike" for a little bit. The uneven ground is still a little tricky for her...she ended up face planting and popped up with a bloody nose!

 Then it is time for...EASTER! Lily loved finding the eggs the Easter Bunny left all over our living room last night!

 Then we got all dressed up (thank you Grandma Nan and Grandpa Ron for the perfect dress!) and headed up to Marysville for Easter with the fam. We were so lucky to get another beautiful Easter, just like last year!!

Lily had fun following Kenley around, and then shaking all the eggs.

Lily loves Grandpa's fountains!
