Dis and Dat

I still haven't come to grips with the fact that I will never be a routine blogger. So I consider you a very good friend (or more likely an obsessed grandmother) if you are still reading this blog. I'm not going to give up on it just yet. I take too many pictures to just let them sit on my hard drive.

In family news, I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant with a boy (due July 21st)! All of us, including Lillie, are super excited about a little brother coming along. We haven't completely decided on a name either. Things are just much more laid back with this baby.

Lillie is at the point where her language is developing every day. Her hilarious vocabulary inspired this post. Actions and objects these days are described as being either "dis" or "dat" and "me do" everything. She loves to sing along to nursery rhymes by starting out with one syllable and simply holding it until the next phrase of the song. It's so off key, but absolutely the sweetest thing! She also adores babies (which makes it hard to tell her, "Lillie, I know you love the baby, but it can't breathe") and even my belly. Many people ask if she understands that I'm pregnant and I don't really know to what extent she understands, but I have observed how much she adores my belly, calling it baby, and I look forward to seeing the bond that she develops with her little brother.

We have had a lot of fun with friends lately too. Since I only have pictures of her on the potty (which hasn't been very successful yet) and pictures with her friends, I decided on showing you the latter. I'll save the others for when potty time is a little more encouraging.

Tea party time with the Fetterly girls, who will sadly be moving away this summer. Jeneva is only 6 weeks younger than Lillie.


First baseball game with Jack...she didn't watch a bit of it, but made sure to cheer when everyone else did. That's my girl!
