I haven't been as good about keeping track of these as I used to be. Here are a couple of late:

_______________________________________________
1. This one came 10 days after I left my cell phone on top of the car and pulled up away after stopping to buckle Lily in.

Me: (dropped cell phone on the ground at Wendy's- battery cover comes off)

L: Not again, Not AGAIN! (shaking her head)

_______________________________________________
2. Lily laying down for her nap/rest time

L: I AM NOT GOING TO BE QUIET! I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP! (5 sec pause) I AM NOT GOING TO BE QUIET!

Me: You don't have to sleep. Just rest and be quiet.

L: How am I supposed to do THAT?!?!

_______________________________________________
3. Clearly, she picked up the word and not the meaning . . .


L (to Gma R): Draw something. . . Something random. Not my name. Just letters.

Gma R: ok (writes something) Is that ok?

L: No, that's not random. You are random (laughing).

_______________________________________________
4. After finding Ga with marker on her forehead. . .

Me: Lily, what happened?

L: Ga drew on herself.

Me: Lily you aren't in trouble. I just want you to tell Mommy the truth. Look at my eyes.

L: Yeah, Yeah. I did it. I thought her head was a piece of paper.

3-4 days later . . .

Me: What happended?

L: (being honest?) I thought her head was a piece of paper again.

Me: Thinking her head was a piece of paper doesn't happen twice (let alone once). Short conversation and loss of markers for a time period then followed.

Graceanne's 1 yr checkup

Well, it is so hard to believe that GA is one year old. We went to her one year check this morning.

She is still a little thing:

17 lbs. 11 oz. Still in the 5-10% here, but we have little ones literally and figuratively in the woof house. She's up 6 oz from last week when we went in for an ear infection. Dr. Stephanie was very pleased that she's still gaining well even with not feeling well lately.

28" tall - 10-25% here.

Wait here it is - She may be petite, but her head is not!

17 3/4" - 50%

Still in Limbo

Well, at least Stephen has passed his test and started work in Fred. already. Many of you may know that already via Facebook, but thought I would update this neglected blog!

In other news, we wait and wait and wait . . .

Still waiting to her from the bank about the contract on possibly our new home - Home inspection issues. Our home here is on the market, but not even so much as a phone call to ask for a viewing. I knew selling our home would be tough in December, but I guess I was secretly hoping it would happen quickly! Trying my hardest to trust God in his timing to send us someone who needs and WANTS our current home!
