Scratching Backs and Coco Ryan

A few weeks ago I gave Lily a little back rub/scratch. Now she requests them. Every day! She asks "Scratch back?" I love love love back massages, so I can't blame her. The other day I was attempting to do my prenatal yoga while Lily was awake. On a few of my poses, she scratched my back! Sweet girl. The rest of the time, I was a jungle gym. So, no more yoga with awake child.

Lily is speaking really well lately. She is putting more and more words together. When she wants something, she puts the color of the object along with with name of the object. She may ask for her "white blanket" or "pink spoon" or "red Elmo" or "purple shirt". She is also using more verbs/nouns together. I came downstairs the other morning and had just washed my hair. Lily asked "Wash hair?" The best was when I was making coffee and making quite a bit of noise in the process. Lily asked "Mama, doing?" I'm really enjoying this stage with Lily. It's like having a little buddy around whom you can actually interact with now! That being said, I still need my adult time and sometimes miss it greatly during the day. Thank goodness for playgroups and bookclubs and going out. Speaking of, a couple of my girl friends are taking me out this Saturday to celebrate the up and coming birth of Baby #2! I can't wait!!


This is David's good buddy, Ryan. He stopped by this weekend. Lily calls him "Uncle Ryan" but sounds like "Coco Ryan" to me. So, Ryan, this is your new name: Coco Ryan! Lily was fascinated with Coco Ryan's phone and was reluctant to return it.

I'm feeling pretty good right now. I'm 33 weeks pregnant. This pregnancy is flying by. My only symptoms right now are feeling like a walking watermelon and insomnia. So, if anyone is up between 3am to 5am, I may be up with you!
