Babbling

Sorry, no new pictures today - just a quick update. I am tired since last night I was out until after 10 with my friends Lori, Heather and Courtney -- it was bookclub night, but I don't know why we bother actually reading the books we barely discuss them for more that 4 minutes! :) But Chip and Lily had a good daddy/daughter night which is great for them. She got to pick whatever she wanted for dinner and she excitedly exclaimed "Wendy's nuggets!". It is random, but she loves Wendy's (and she hasn't even ever had a frosty which in my opinion is the only reason to eat at Wendy's!)
Then this morning Lily and I went to Gymboree again to make up one of the many classes we have missed. The most exciting thing was that Lily climbed a ladder -- all by herself!!! Yes, most kids Lily's age (and younger) can already do this, but as I have said many times before Lily is always a little cautious and rather dance with her feet on the ground than climb around like a monkey (which is a great thing as far as I am concerned)! But today she did it - more than once! I was so proud of her and she was pretty pleased with herself too. She had a huge smile and said "I did it!! I climbed the ladder!" That's my girl!

After class we had some errands to run and then stopped by my parent's house to feed the cats and bring in the mail since they are in CA this weekend. We also raided the fridge and pantry and Lily ate lunch there (thanks Mom for the last chicken patty, tortilla chips and mini kit kat which was a great incentive to get her to eat everything else!) :) Then of course we had to dance for awhile before we could come home.

Lily has been saying some pretty smart and funny things lately too which I need to start documenting before I forget them (some I have already forgotten). The other day I called her "Lily Muffin" and she responded with a sarcastic, "Ok Mommy Cupcake" I thought that was cute! Last week when I was getting her dressed I told her how cute her outfit was and again she replied sarcastically and said "Thanks. You bought it." She cracks me up and apparently is really picking up my sarcasm, which I like.

I have been working a lot on my blog book which I have to say is coming along rather nicely. Initially I was not happy with blurb.com and I looked around for other websites. But blurb is the best and cheapest! I am happy to say that I have gotten use to the layouts and are making them work. I think it is going to be an awesome book. It is slightly annoying since my photos must get resized when I upload them to blogger and a lot of them have too small a resolution to print properly in the book. But I have fixed that by just uploading the original photo from my computer -- then all the resolution issues are gone. It is a long time consuming process. I am currently on page 89 and have nearly completed June and July of last year. But it should totally be worth it in the end!

That is enough rambling for today . . . back to my book! :)
