So far Lily can say:
Daddy
Doggie
Birdie
Bye
Hi
Ut-oh
Cookie
Ball
Anyone notice a word she is missing? That's right...Mama.
I know she loves me...but it would be nice to hear her say Mama. I am sure all the Moms out there are thinking once they start you hear "Mom mom mom mom mom mom mom" all the time. So I guess I will be patient and enjoy the big smiles that she gets when she sees me, even if she doesn't have the words yet.

Our Day with the Rogers
Finger painting fun! I am not really sure that Lily enjoyed it - but now I have some beautiful paintings for my office!
This time we were strapped into a highchair so we couldn't just get down whenever we felt like it. Learned this lesson the hard way at the children's museum. Let's just say there was orange paint everywhere!
You can tell by this ripped peice of paper that Lily isn't so gentle with the paper at this point. She would prefer to rip it or ball it up to painting...maybe I should make that the craft project - different colors of balled up paper in a vase?
"Can I PLEASE get out now?!?!"
Elliott was painting with a paintbrush, but when he saw that Lily might not know how to do fingerpainting, he offered to show her. What a big helper!
Don't worry - his smock was green before he started :)
Owen slept through the facepainting, but still got to have plenty of fun with the kids. Lily kept pointing at him and saying "baby" even though he is as big as she is! She kept wanting to hug him like he was one of her baby dolls. And if you've seen her with those, you know that Owen wasn't about to sit around and let that happen!
It cracked me up that Elliott and Lily chose to play in this tiny corner! Elliott would hide there and Lily would of course crawl after him and then laugh when she found him. I say crawl because that is still primarily what she is doing. She did take a few independent steps on Friday, June 1oth, and Kyle says we are counting that as the first day she walked. And she will take a few steps still (June 18 is when I am posting this), but not really walking unless she is holding onto something.
Look at that cute baby smile!
