We had a really calm weekend and enjoyed staying around the house. As I watched Lily this weekend, I realized how big she is getting. She has always been more mature than a lot of babies her age. She started walking at 10 months and has been talking for a while. Her vocabulary gets bigger and bigger every day. She loves books and looking at pictures, especially photo albums of our family. She loves to identify her "maw-maw", "pop", "uncle" ambi, shell, amy, nanny, pawpaw, and of course, "mommy" and "daddy"
She has also turned out to a girly girl. I guess I had a part to do with that, but she loves shoes. When she was an infant, she always kicked her shoes off and I was worried we would never get her to wear them, but now, she wants them on at all times. She also loves jewelry and loves to wear pretty clothes. When we put a new outfit on her, we show herself to her in the mirror and she usually responds with "awe-wee" lol..She also loves baby dolls and pretending that she is a little mommy to her babies. She tries to give them her "paci" and feed them her "snack"
On another subject, we decided to try and limit Lily's pacifier time. She is so very addicted to it, so with the help of her "Nanna Barbara" at daycare, Lily only has her "paci" at naptime and bedtime. She still asks for it every now and then, but we change the subject and she forgets about it. I wasn't quite ready to take it away from her, but I have to admit it has made life easier not having to look for one throughout the day when we have lost it. We keep them in a special place ready for naptime and bedtime.
This weekend, Lily started giving us signs of being ready to use the potty. This is something that we had no idea that she was ready for, which I am not ready to potty train my baby...she's too little, but to begin with, she has started telling us when she is using the potty in her diaper. Saturday night she took off her diaper, refused to put it back on, and we found her standing by the potty saying "Pee-Pee" She sat on the potty but immediately wanted off. She did the same thing Sunday night, so we purchased a pink Comfy Cushy Baby Potty yesterday. We now have it on stand-by for when she gets ready.
It's hard to even think about my baby wanting to use the potty! I know everyone says this, but it really does seem like she was just an infant, now she has herself convinced that she is a 3 year old instead of a 16 month old.

Yes, we will have to get the girls together. I'm sure that Lily's vocabulary is on par with Jancie's because they have always seemed to be really close together developmentally. Jancie still has her paci.....I'm just going to let her have it for now. Jancie has started pulling her pants up when I change her diaper,but hasn't shown any other potty training signs. I was going to try this summer after we have moved.
