Twenty Months

I know I start each "month" post out with - I can't believe we have a whatever month old - but really I just can't believe it. Each month passes by faster than the last, leaving Mike and I shaking our heads at how quickly time is literally flying by. And since time is flying by so fast - it seems like I have less time to update my blog. But since I've gotten repeated reminders from Denver to update and had my girlfriend add it to my to-do list for me, I figured I better get on it. I mean - if I can cross it off my to-do list over cleaning out my closet then I might as well.

Lily had her post-op check-up for her tubes right after Halloween. She failed her hearing test (because she wouldn't stop screaming) but otherwise her ears looked great. While we were waiting to see her doctor she requested pigtails and even held still long enough for a somewhat blurry picture. And they even lasted until we arrived at daycare.

Lily is going through an extreme stage of rebellion and independence. She thinks she can help you with anything and that she can do no wrong. Jumping on the furniture is her newest rebel move. It became quite apparent that I've counted to three one too many times recently when she finished the counting for me, took one final jump and landed on her behind with the most devilish grin on her face. She's also taken up scolding the dog whenever she does something that displeases Lily. She's got the whole finger pointing down to a science.

Thinks she's big enough to not sit in her high chair

Lily has also discovered television. I can't decide if this is a good thing or bad thing. On the one hand, she watched an entire Baby Einstein episode while I folded three loads of laundry and cleaned the kitchen. On the other hand, now she points to the TV and says "please".
