Lily's First Birthday!

Lily turned one on Tuesday November 1st. I can't believe she is a year old. The last year seemed to fly by. She has a very fun personality, and we love having Lily in our family. I especially love that she and Claire play together now. It's so fun to watch them make each other laugh and share toys together. Well, we're still working on that sharing part. My family came over on the Sunday before her birthday and we had a little celebration. 

My parents got her this elephant she can ride on and a duck blanket/pillow that she loves. I will often find her walking around with her duck pillow saying duck. It sounds more like "ugh" instead of duck. She also got Cookie Monster from Kristen. Just a few weeks ago she started to say "cookie" for it. She is slowly building up her vocabulary.

Lily was not into her cupcake. She barely ate any of it. She didn't even eat very much frosting.

Here is cute Lily on her birthday.  I barely got her to stand still for a picture.

She was excited to open more presents!

We got her two books, both of which it turns out she loves more than we thought she would, and a pig pillow pet. The "colors" book has a picture of a black cat in it. She likes to find that page and make this high pitch squealing noise because she is so excited to see the picture.

The weekend after Lily's birthday we got together with Rusty's family because our nephew Boston's birthday is two days after Lily's. She still wasn't into cake then.

Rusty's parents got Lily this fun Snow White dress. I think Claire likes it more than Lily since she asks us from time to time if we can get one in her size.

We love Lily! She went to the doctor for her 12 month check up. Here are her latest stats:
Weight: 17 lbs. 10 oz. (18th percentile)
Length: 29.25 in. (53.5 percentile)
Head: 18 in. (72.7 percentile).
