new words.


Lilli has learned a lot of new words this past week.

She now says:
Up
Down (dowww)
Stop
Go, go, go!
Nu-uh (which she says to me a lot!)
Bubbles (buh-bops)
Hug
Happy
Sick

Also, the cow says: Moo (ooooo)
and the bunny goes: hop hop hop (ha ha ha)

And she knows (but doesn't say)
Jesus (if you ask her where He is, she'll go find Him in her baby bible)
Mickey Mouse
Elmo
She also knows, and will show you her:
Eyes (she's known this one for months)
Ears
Nose
Mouth
Bellybutton

Silly Lilli

This is such a fun age! Lilli constantly has us laughing and amazes us with how smart she is!
We've recently discovered that she understands {almost} everything we say to her.
If i ask her to run? She runs.
If I ask her to find something that's lost? She finds it.
If I ask her if she's hungry? She walks to the fridge.
If I ask her if she can say something? She says it. {or more often than not... just says "YEA!" -smart alec.}
Etc., Etc...
Cason tried to disprove my theory by asking her where the turtle was - sure enough, she goes right to the turtle like "duh, dad" He then told her to go bounce on it (it's a bouncy toy) and she did! He was surprised... I wasn't.
I was however, surprised when I was listening to baby got back (don't judge me too harshly) and Lilli looks at me and says: "Baby!" I guess the time has come for us to start being more careful about what we listen to/ watch/say/ do in front of her!
{i had planned to put up several funny videos, but my photo program crashed, and they got deleted... i seriously almost cried- they were good ones!}
ps- i clipped her hair back while it was wet, and she pulled the clip out after church. That's why it looks so goofy.

Zoo!

We and the rest of Boise, spent our sunny Friday at the zoo!
Lillian was a little unsure about it all. I think it was because there were SO many people there! She's a bright and bubbly girl, but she does get shy sometimes around large groups. She had a look of awe when we showed her the animals, but didn't get too excited about anything.
That is until we got to the sheep! She loved feeding them!
The meerkats were her favorite. She'd follow them as they ran, and spin in circles. She cried and cried when we had to move on!
After the zoo, we went to West Side Drive In and got some tasty, fatty food! It was a really fun day!

Boise Fry Company

It's spring break! We can't really afford to go anywhere this year, but we want to do a few fun things around town--

Today, we went to the Boise Fry Company. I'm not sure where Cason heard about it, but he said it was supposed to be pretty good. We got 4 different kinds of fries
Red Ladies
Purple Potatoes
Purple Vikings
Yams

Cason liked the purple vikings best, and I liked the yams... Lilli didn't really like any of them!

They also had a bunch of crazy sauces like acai and blueberry catchup and spicy fry sauce. I wasn't really a fan of any of the sauces... but I usually like my fries plain!

We had burgers on the "side" ...i thought mine was great, Cason wasn't impressed {we always disagree on what is and isn't a good burger}

Like I said... Lilli didn't love the food, but we took some pictures to make her grandma Dotson cringe!

Lillian did like all the people- the place was packed! I realize
d during out meal that we were sitting across from my 12th grade chemistry teacher... she was with her husband and 3 {or 4} year old son... it was kinda a weird feeling!

Saturday Night

This is a typical Saturday night (and any other night really!)


She also (just to name a few things)
went to Tangled, walked/danced on books, and all 3 of us danced with our noisemakers. (boxes of rice)
