sweet lily girl

this boy

this boy...knows how to make my day.

We were outside playing together and he looked at me and said, "you're the awesomest, best mommy in the whole world."



this boy...protects his baby sister.

We had tornado warnings last night. Marshall was pretty frightened of the thunder and lightening. I explained to him that he was safe and I wouldn't let anything happen to him. Lily was starting to fuss and Marshall said, "It's okay Lily, big brother's here. I will keep you safe. Don't be scared, brother's here." SO cute that he assumed she was fussing because she was scared too.

this boy...is curious.

Scott was leaving to run a few errands and Marshall wanted to know specifically where he was going. He asked him, "Are you going to Dollar General?" We both laughed because he has never been to a Dollar General. We just don't shop there. He amazes us with what he knows.

this boy... is SO excited about a certain Aunt's upcoming wedding.

When we ask him what he's going to do at Aunt Katie's wedding he responds, "I shake my little booty." He's more excited about dancing at the reception than the actual ceremony.

this boy...LOVES green.

I mean, he seriously LOVES the color green. One day he told me, "Mommy, green's MY color." He wants green EVERYTHING. He would where a green shirt everyday if he could. It's just that eventually, the green clothes need to be washed. His favorite song is G-R-E-E-N, and he sings and spells it perfectly.

this boy...has a new fascination with American flags.

The boy can spot them from a mile away. He has also learned "You're a Grand Old Flag." It is pretty precious to hear his sweet voice sing this song.


I love this boy...and all the little things that make him who he is.

Marshall, you are such a blessing to our family.

siblings

Here are Marshall and Lily at about the same age. I think they each have their own little look, but you can definitely tell they are siblings.

These were also taken with two different cameras. Obviously, our newer camera takes much better photos.

sassy

Sweet thing was looking sassy today in her skinny jeans and red patent shoes. Having a girl is dangerous on the wallet. There is just so much more to choose from.

sweet smile

Lily has been starting to smile lots lately and it is precious. It's been difficult to catch her smiling on camera but I was finally successful.



I love a sweet gummy grin!

Valentine's Day

I know this is a little late for Valentine's Day, I had intended to post earlier but time got away from me.

I took pictures of Lily wearing the same angel wings that Marshall wore on his first Valentine's Day. It was easier to get Marshall's picture because he was sitting at the time. There really aren't very many poses you can do at Lily's age. She was a trooper and handled the silly photo shoot like a champ. I was very lucky to have a cute little helper too.



Where did this chubsy wubsy little baby go? I wish I could make time stand still.
There's my helper!

lily wears a tutu

Lily wore a tutu for the first time today. Oh my, she was so cute. I even squealed a little when I put it on her. When we first found out we were having a girl I worried that I wouldn't know how to dress her. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but I don't think I can go wrong with a tutu. SO girly!
