Lilah is in full-on spring mode: riding her bike, playing at the park and going to work with daddy. We even hit an indoor waterpark with Grandma Susie and Grandpa Bob. She's a great big sister, tolerating even the most aggressive of Harrison's snuggling attempts. Lilah has declared that when she grows up, she will be "a lifeguard, a karate teacher, a teacher and a Powerpuff Girl." She'll be busy.
Face painting, booty-shaking and many giggles later, we had a lovely fall! Lilah made a perfect Dorothy for Halloween (braids and all) and was fully aware this year of how faster trick or treating = more candy in your basket. She loves to do artwork... most of it even ends up on the paper where it should be!
What a couple of photogenic months Lilah had! Ice Age Days, swimming in Lake Michigan, visit to Grandma Susie and Grandpa Bob's house, playing on Marion Street, eating doughnuts at the Farmer's Market and starting pre-school! The last 2 are bonus shots from our maternity photo session in March... been meaning to share those for a while. Lilah loves school and brings home piles of artwork every day. (Mommy loves the fact that she's now in school across the street.)
Wow - our little Lilah Bea is 3 years old! We had a wonderful summer, though not enough pool time. It really passed in a flash and Lilah will start preschool on Sept. 3. I'm sure she'll do great, especially since it's the same teachers she had for playschool. She continues to love Harrison (most times), though occasionally acts out. Her birthday party was lots of fun and she loves to ride her big girl bike (with training wheels) all over Oak Park. She draws faces and can write all the letters in her name, though not always in a line or in order (but close)! It seems I've been slacking on pictures of her with Ga for some time, because I didn't have a 2-year one for comparison. Above you see Lilah at 20 months and at 36 months with her best friend.
