Four Years with Lily

Our baby girl is four years old.  It seems like literally last week I was kissing her squishy cheeks and dressing her up in the cutest rompers and headbands I could get my hands on.  And yet, here we are, four years into this girl's life and she is running and counting and changing her baby brother's diaper.  

Our Lily girl cannot be put into a box.  She plays with cars and blocks and builds intense forts.  She can hold her own with her brothers and yet another side of her yearns for all the pretty things.  She loves being fancy, wearing jewelry, and having 'real' tea parties.  She dreams of princesses and babies and already has decided she is going to be Tinkerbell and Aurora and Sophia next year for Halloween.

Her emotions are big and strong and (mostly) beautiful.  She is really high when she's high and really low when she's low.  She wears her heart on her sleeve and is more honest than I sometimes want her to be.  

She wants a baby sister for her birthday (sorry sweet girl) and is practicing by incessantly asking to change Jude's diaper and any baby that happens to be in eyesight.  She is into shopping more than her Momma and wants me to buy something for me anytime we are out together.  

Lily loves to tease her Daddy as well as have him twirl her around the living room to 'Daddy's Little Girl'.  Daddy calls her both 'my little orange' as well as 'sloppy joe'.  She giggles every time.  

Our girl is tough, outspoken, kind hearted, helpful, and a momma bear.  These last four years have been sweet and beautiful and hard and full of grace (for all of us) and we can't help but be full of love and gratitude for our Lily.  


Happy Birthday sweet girl!
