Happy 20 Months Lily!

Wow now in the 2-0 digits!  Happy 20 months my sweet little Lily pad!   Right now she stretches at about 32 inches and weighs about 21 pounds!  She understands more and more each day and I feel like we can ALMOST reason with her at times!  She’s still sleeps super well at night, so that makes us super happy and lucky as well.  Thank goodness we can count on that!  She’s so full of personality and fun, I love cuddling with her and tickling her and make her laugh!  She really likes to play and she pats the floor to make you sit down and play with her.  She likes to color and draw with markers, play with her musical teapot, play with her kitchen and plastic fruits and veggies, she loves going on her trike rides and playing at the park, particularly the slides!  She also loves music and dancing, flipping through books, trying on and taking off beaded necklaces, brushing her and your hair, and playing with chapstick, and even tries to put it on you!  She babbles a ton and picks up new words here and there too!  She can say “eat” and “up” super clearly now, and she’s very good at saying “help”, “poop”, “eww”, “hooray” and starting to say “thank you”.  She’ll try to say other words, not so clearly but it’s the effort that counts!  She’s very good at expressing certain emotions too, and will say “ooOOooo” when she sees something new or something she likes and thinks it’s cool!  She’ll make funny faces for fun and crack herself up!!

She recently did a photoshoot with MGA Entertainment this past wednesday (1st photoshoot since October of last year!) and she did great!  In the waiting area they had tons of toys for her to play with and she quickly made herself at home.  They gave her an outfit to wear and then we headed over to hair and make up!  Before we went, I asked Lily if she wants to go and play with some new toys and she nodded and said “yes!”.  So the stylist put out her hand and Lily took and walked happily with her to the set!  They put some lotion on her face, a little bit of powder and Lily tried to push the brush away.  The makeup artist then said Lily looked so pretty so Lily put out her face for her to put blush on!  She asked if she wanted lipstick (lipgloss) and Lily nodded and said “YES!” and of course licked her lips after to taste haha!  She so cute!  They gave her a cute purple matching headband to wear too.  The product was this realistic functioning (but plastic) shopping cart.  It was really cute, I might have to buy her one when it comes out in the fall!  Lily did really well and loved playing with the cart and fake fruits and veggies in the cart, and she loved the wrangler too!  Lily was laughing and playing and had a great time!  I’m so proud of you Lily pad, can’t wait to see the pictures later this year!  Below is a picture of her playing with toys in the waiting room and then after hair and make up!  What a pretty doll she is!  Also, someone found Lily’s Disney Baby Minnie Mouse bedding set advertisement in a full page spread in the American Baby Magazine in the February 2014 issue!  I was able to buy a couple copies from Ebay and Amazon!!  It’s so amazing to see see in a magazine!!  You see polka dots on her face because the pages are thin and it shows the ad on the back of the page…haha.  Either way, she still looks super cute!!

I also had Lily’s parent teacher conference at LePort this past Thursday and I was super happy to hear what Ms. Monica had to say about Lily.  Lily didn’t get a progress report since she hasn’t been in the toddler class for long, but she gave me an update on how Lily is doing.  Ms. Monica said that Lily is such a sweet girl and that she has a contagious laugh!  She said Lily has a very good sense of order and memorizes things really well, and would reorganize the puzzles and put them where they’re suppose to be on the shelf!  She likes to clean, pushing around the vacuum and she apparently loves to sweep the floor haha.  She’s really good during snack time and setting up her seat at the table, and putting things away when she’s done eating.  They have a snack station to get their place mats, plates, and utensils.  She eats all her food every time, and she drinks all her milk too!  What a good girl!  Ms. Monica said she loves doing art and gets really excited when they do crafts, and she loves it when they have music time which they do twice a week.  Sometimes during nap time, she’ll sit on her cot and just sing to herself and then go to sleep, haha!  Her teacher said that doesn’t bother her since Lily’s not disrupting her classmates and Lily stays on her cot, so that’s totally fine!  She’s so silly! haha. Lily picked up on the routine pretty quickly, and they ring the bell whenever they change activities, and so when she hears the bells, she’s very good at stopping what she’s doing and go to the carpet for circle time, or lining up to go play outside!  I wish I can observe all this one day because it sounds so amazing what she’s doing!  She also really likes to water the plants!  They teach her to touch the soil and see if it’s dry or wet, and if it’s wet, then they would move on to find a plant to water, and if it’s dry, then they would water it!  Ms. Monica said that Lily’s language skills is developing really well and she’s saying more words!  She’s learning to spell her name and is learing to pronounce her name better too!  She’s also really good at asking for help whenever she needs it, like if she’s on her tricycle and someone crashes into her and they get stuck, she’ll yell out for help!  Her teacher said not many kids will vocalize that much, so that’s really great!  She also said that Lily might be ready to be potty training in a month or so, wow that’s so quick!  So we’ll be getting ready for that soon too.  Overall Ms. Monica said that Lily loves to do everything, and that she’s learning things really quickly!  She finally figured out how to use the lock and key puzzle the other day too!  Ms. Monica said that when new parents come to tour the campus, they’ll see Lily and say she’s so cute and that her face is just like a little doll!  She said that she loves having Lily in the class and is so happy to have her here!  Hearing all these wonderful things about Lily just makes me soooo happy!  I’m so grateful for all the hard work the teachers do to teach Lily, and I’m so glad that we’re keeping up and doing well with raising her at home as well!  We are so lucky and Lily makes my smile brighter and my heart fuller each day!! I love you my sweet Lily pad!!

Disney Baby!

I woke up this morning and saw one of the mom’s from Lily’s modeling agency share the Disney Baby facebook cover photo, and tagged me asking if that was Lily in the photo!  To my surprise and excitement, it was!!!  The photoshoot for that was taking back in April last year (2013) I think, wow look at how young she looked!!  This particular part of the photoshoot was to advertise the Minie Mouse nursery set (blankets, plush doll, bedding, etc!).  What a cutie pie!  I’m so proud of her!!  Look at you Lily pad, you’re a Disney Baby!!

 

Munchkin Lily!

Yay I found Lily on Munchkin’s website for their Cupcake Bath Squirters!  Wow this was so long ago, I think last May!  Look at that cute little chubby face and yes that’s her cute little hand holding the cupcake!!  This was definitely a very different photoshoot from all her other photoshoots because she got to be in a bath tub and play with bath toys and soap bubbles!  You can find the link for her toy on the Munchkin website HERE, and you can find it on Amazon HERE (thanks Siv for finding it!).  Now I must hunt these down in stores to see if Lily’s on the packaging! =)  So proud of you my baby model!!

More Infantino Packaging

One of my friends (Mel) from Lily’s modeling agency, whom I met at an Infantino photoshoot, came across another toy that Lily was on the front cover of!!  The Infantino toy is the Go Go Activity Trio Jungle Pals!  She was so kind enough to mail me the toy, not one but two of them so that I can have one for my Lily’s modeling shrine, and one for Lily to play with!  She found this at Home Goods, really random right?  Either way, it’s so exciting to see her on the box!!!  We are always so proud of you Lily!!!  Here’s the LINK to my previous post of her and this toy!

Also, you can get her Infantino Snap & Pop Pals toys online (and in stores) at Babies ‘R Us and through Amazon!!

 

Happy Sweet 16 Months Lily!

Lily’s artwork from school!

Happy Sweet 16 Months to our precious Lily pad!!  She’s still small, hasn’t grown too much since last month, weighing in at 19.6 pounds and is stretches about 30.5 inches tall.  She recently got bronchiolitis and had to breathe through a nebulizer for a couple weeks, but she’s all better now, no more wheezing!  Also, Lily is finally off the bottle, woohoo!!!  We were so happy and proud of our Lily pad when she started drinking a significantly more amount of milk from her thermos straw cup.  We tried sippy cups, normal straw cups, and finally the thermos straw cup.  We tried to ween her off but it wasn’t working so we decided to do it cold turkey.  Eventually she realized the only way she can have her milk was through the straw cup, so instead of pushing it away, she now takes it without a fight!  It felt good to put away the bottle drying rack, we now have more space on our counter, and Khoa’s super relieved he doesn’t have to wash anymore bottles (for now).  Good job Lily pad!!  She also is so good at listening, we’ll ask her to put her toy back when she’s done playing with it and not only does she put it back (most of the time), but she’ll put it back in the right spot on the right shelf and everything!  I’m just so amazed by how much she understands and how well she listens!  She loves to babble and she’s learning to say a lot more works too even though sometimes she likes to add a “buh” sound at the beginning of some words, like “baiper” instead of “diaper” and “bup” instead of “up”! haha.  She even knows to say her name, except she says “yiyi” instead, close enough! haha.  That’s our cutie pie!  She’s also signing a lot more words and picking up new signs a lot quicker now too!  She’s also very good at feeding herself, eating bananas by herself and hold a spoon and scooping yogurt, oatmeal, or porridge into her mouth!  It’s still messy but it’s all part of the learning process!  Lily loves playing at the playground and going down the slide, feet first but on her belly haha.  She loves being outside, playing with friends, and riding on her elephant Elijah (thanks Cynthia!).

Last week she graduated from her Parent & Me Beginner swimming class and will move on up to her Parent & Me Intermediate level swimming class!  She got this cute certificate and got to dig through the treasure chest to pick out a toy for graduating from the beginner’s class!  It took her awhile to pick a toy cause she kept shaking her head no at all the things the worker showed to her, but she finally settled on a green stretchy plastic guy that you can bend and shape!  You can also check out a short video from my instagram of her swimming too below!

I also found Lily on the cover of another Infantino toy, the Teether Links, at Babies ‘R Us!  I went to several different Babies ‘R Us and was finally able to track this down.  I was so excited when I saw her darling face that I grabbed three of these, then I stood there for a minute pondering if I should just but the rest as well, since there was only two more on the rack, and so I did!  BUY THEM ALL!!! haha.  I was so excited, I didn’t even have a cart, so I’m juggling all of these and plopped it onto the cashier counter.  I had a proud momager moment and told the cashier guy that that’s my baby on the cover!!!  I’m so proud of her and this is the first time I was actually able to find one of her toys myself!!!  Just look at that sweet chubby little face, don’t you just wanna squeeze her?  So proud!!!

I also took a gamble and bought her Funflower, seen HERE, and her Soft Safari Foam Puzzle Set on Amazon, and look who’s on the cover!!!  My dad also found her Jittery Pal at Babies ‘R Us, it was the last one at the time!  Woohoo!!  So excited that my collection of Lily’s toys are growing bigger and bigger!

Lily Bell Bottoms

Thank you Linda for the new discovery of Lily on the package for Infantino’s Bell Bottoms Bunny!  I’m so excited to own a toy with Lily’s face on it, I’m going to have to hunt down another one so that I can have one for keepsake and then let Lily play with the other one haha!  I went onto the Infantino Site and found her on their for the Bell Bottoms Bunny too!  I think this was taken back in May!  Just look at those cute little toes, she tends to curl them, how cute!  It’s always super exciting to see Lily’s photo shoots make it out into the market!  We are so proud of you our Lily pad!!!  I also  attached Lily’s new updated photosheet, doesn’t she look so darling?? =)

 

More Infantino Please!

I found some more of Lily’s modeling photos on Infantino, Amazon, and Target online!  I believe these photos were taken back in maybe April!  On Amazon and Target she’s modeling the Infantino Touch and Feel Critter Ball Set, doesn’t she look so engaged in them??  The critter balls are sold for $19.99!

Here is the Infantino Go Go Trio jungle pals!  I remember when she did this shoot, it was one of the first times she sat on grass, it she was so fascinated with the grass and kept pulling on the grass.  I’m happy to see that they ended up getting a cute shot of her, and man doesn’t she look so young and chubby??  I just wanna squeeze those cheeks!  I like how she always curls her toes haha!  These jungle pals are sold for $12.99!  I must find then in stores!

Lily Funflower!

Earlier we knew that Lily was on the cover package of Infantino’s Funflower, but here she is on the Infantino website (3rd image) for the product online as well!!! This picture is so big and clear, much better than the tiny picture on the package, that’s so exciting she’s on both packaging and online! Yay, go Lily pad!!!

UPDATE:  You can also buy it at Amazon and she’ll be on the cover!!!  I took a risk and bought one hoping she would be on the box and it arrived today (October 11, 2013) and there’s my Lily pad!!!  You can buy it HERE!

Last Day of Year One!

Today is the last day of the first year of our precious baby Lily’s life!  I can’t believe her very first birthday will be tomorrow, it has just zoomed by!  Something exciting did happen yesterday though, she FINALLY drank from her straw cup!!  I’ve been trying for a long time to get her to drink either from a sippy cup or a straw cup, and I bought different brands and styles too and FINALLY she’s able to drink from the Munchkin straw cup!  She’s so cute doing so, as you can see in the video below!  I’m so proud of you Lily, we are constantly amazed by you!  She is also starting to wave goodbye (or hello) now too and her little hand is just too precious as it turns back and forth for her little wave!  Keep it up Lily pad, you’re doing so great!!

Lily also has another photo up on the Infantino website!  This 3rd one is the cutest one yet and she’s the 1st photo on the page!!  She’s introducing the new Rattling Jittery Pal Lola!!  I love how she’s smiling while teething on the toy!  All these past 3 photos were from the same photo shoot back in March!  Amazing!!

Lily with Snap & Pop Pals

I’m so excited to see Lily on another Infantino product online!  My friend Sandy had to point it out to me too, I really need to be better at these discoveries! haha.  Anyways, here she is on the website, click on this LINK, and you’ll see her in the second photo for these cute Snap & Pop Pals!!  Yay!!
