Life has been so busy that I have hardly had time to think about doing a blog. Sorry it has been so long!
Lily and I are starting our days at 6am and not ending them until about 7:30pm, so it has been quite the change for both of us, but well worth it. I am really enjoying my teacher position at the CDC and truly love the fact that I still get to be with my little girl. I have planed out activities for every
day and am just amazed at how advanced and well Lily participates. She loves to do art (painting, coloring, gluing) and will cry when it is time to clean up and move on. Besides the 6 hours with me in the morning Lily is also staying for 4 hours at school without me on Mondays and Wednesdays plus for 2 hours with my mom on Tuesdays and Thursday. I am taking 2 classes, a kickboxing course and using the gym at the college so our time apart has been healthy, not to long and only strengthening our bond. No matter where we are Lily is a busy bee and always has something to explore and discover At age 1 1/2 she has to large of a vocabulary for me to continue to list it all so I thought I would just share a few. My favorite is hug which comes out more like ug and is always accompanied by a warm and loving hug. Obachan and Grandpa's favorite is Lily, yes she 
says her own name and it comes out Lily with a dramatic tongue movement and a big smile.
I think Lily's favorite is apple because she says it a lot. Here are a few photos from September that I really like. She has had the pleasure to now eat suckers (lolly pops), and lick the beaters. Yeah!! Those of you that are parent know that kids like kids, right? 
At least it is true for Lily she LOVES her Auntie Rosebud. The two of them play together all the time and recently Rose dressed her up like a pretty princess. 
On her own Lily will put hats, necklaces, socks and other clothes on plus carry a purse. But this was the first time she ever really got to play dress up!
