End of the Week Updates

Lily has really become quite the character lately! She does little things that keep me laughing all day long! One of her new things to do is walk around the house holding one of her onesies. She will put it on her head, or stretch it across her tummy, and look at me like she's saying "Mommy, I want to wear this!" She does it with our cloths too. Right now she's walking and crawling around the floor next to me with one of my tank tops pulled over her head! I wonder if she's starting to get the concept of clothes?
The other new thing she does that just makes me laugh and laugh...she will stand up and bend over so she is looking upside down through her legs! Sean put it perfectly the other day, she's looking at the world in a new way! What do things look like upside down?
One other new thing, she's been trying to say kitty and cat lately. I've heard her say cat very clearly a few times, but I think she may have just stumbled on the correct word by accident while trying to say it, because she can't produce it on cue yet. But every time she sees the cats, she will say things that almost sound like cat or kitty! She also seems to be trying to say duck when she plays with her rubber ducky in the bath tub. Or maybe she's trying to quack? It could be either! I can't believe she's already walking....and now trying to say words! She's growing up to fast!!
Last week my friend Asha sent Lily a tutu that she had made. Asha is really good a making these super cute tutu's, and I'm so lucky that Lily now has one! The first picture is of Lily in it, and so is the following picture. Lily just loves it! Thanks so much again Asha!
Here are a few pictures from our visit to the aquarium a couple weekends ago. Lily LOVES going to look at the fish! We've been going regularly to the Mystic Aquarium since Lily was 2 months old, and each time we go we see something new. This time we saw the new younger sea lion. He was really interactive with everyone watching the tank. He would come up to the glass, and follow your hand with his nose. A little boy had brought his toy stuffed dolphin to the tank, and this sea lion was SO interested in it! He kept trying to bite the toy through the glass! It was fun to watch!

Across the street at the Old Mystic Village, we found a bunch of ducks. They were so interested in us when we stopped. I guess they must have thought we had food!
