Tonight, Lily corrected Michael when they were reading stories at bedtime. Daddy…it’s a hedgehog, not a porcupine. Duh. She can also tell the difference between chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys (yes, Michael, they are different!). :-)
Our little future nerd in the making.
I’m so proud.

Like most parents, we don’t take as many pictures of Lily now as we did when she was a teeny baby. Part of it is that it’s more difficult to get an in-focus picture when she’s always on the move! She does respond sometimes when I ask her to “smile for the camera,” but we get a toothy, cheesy, and sometimes scary smile instead of a genuine smile.
Here she is sitting in a “grocery store” we made for her babies today, responding to my prompt to “smile for the camera.”
Aren’t I a wonderful artist? :-)
She insisted on the Big Bad Wolf being the checkout person…err…canine.
She enjoyed having her Little People shop, then take the bus home to put the groceries in the refrigerator of the house. She also liked counting the money we made, counting all 6 dollars by herself properly. Yay, Lily! (Of course, she also MIS-counted them at times, but it’s getting more consistent). :-)
More of her recent “posed” smiles…
Special, right? :-) I wish I did a better job of catching her real smiles, but we’ll keep trying. Just to remind you, this is what she NORMALLY looks like when not baring her teeth at you:

Finally, stay tuned for posts from our special guest blogger! Mimi (Michael’s mom) put together posts to memorialize the week that Lily spent with Mimi and Papa Bogle while Michael and I were in Aruba. I am SO grateful that she did this, both so that I could learn about their time together and, more importantly, to record their fun times for Lily’s baby book.
Love,
The Bogle Family Blog
Yes, I’ll be referring to it as her “baby book” until she’s 68. You can’t stop me.
