I'm calling out Lillian!

[laurski81]

MissMusic let's see and hear all about your beautiful little girl!

[MissMusic]

Oh yaaay! I'm home sick today so I actually have time for this! Let me find a few photos.

[MissMusic]

First off, I have a weird kid.  Like, really weird.  She's all about following the rules, but when she has an inch she'll be completely goofy.






Like here, she's convinced she can hear the ocean in her cup.

[MissMusic]

She likes her dress up.


a good thrill



music and singing




and especially a good opera.

[MissMusic]

She loves babies and animals!


^that was this morning





Its all about Hello Kitty and tutus, and of course a little nerd stuff. She loves her blocks and trains, too.

[MissMusic]

She's not very cuddly, but she's goofy and HAPPY! I have the happiest kid, I'm thrilled. She sings, dances and plays constantly. We are in the middle of planting a veggie garden and she has all sorts of questions. She's full of energy --sometimes Threenager energy--but overall, she doesn't give us much trouble. I love this kid until it feels like my heart will explode.

We spoil her a bit, and I know she's lucky to do all the things she does like the zoo or gymnastics, but I don't care. I can't believe how much she is growing. I'm just so glad that she's a happy, silly, caring, gentle soul.

MissMusic how fun!! She is too cute. What is her most surprising personality trait?

[somethingcleverer]

I love her! It's impossible for to take a bad pic! How is her panda obsession? What are you looking forward to doing with her this year?

[aimeefarrahfowler]

I love her so much. She is one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. Just adorable. Have you started teaching her piano? I want to start A in a few years.

We are throwing Tyler a panda birthday party this weekend. I'll post some pictures for her

[jennmm]

She's a beautiful girl and she looks like so much fun!

She is SUPER patient!  She is more patient than most adults.  She can delay gratification, sit and wait, listen quietly, try and try again when tackling something without frustration...I didn't think 3 yr olds could do that!

The Panda is strong with this one.  Its neck and neck with Hello Kitty, but when given a choice between any animal stuff its always Panda.  It was really cold for the local easter egg hunt this year and she wanted to wear her panda jacket, even though it wasn't warm enough.  Girlfriend shivered and suffered because she would not put on any other damn jacket.  Panda shirts, socks, hairbows--we have it all.

Hmm well she starts pre-school in Aug, so I'm dreading it and also excited for her.  We also have our 2nd annual beach trip in Sept, which she is already talking about.  I'm really looking forward to that!

Oh, and possibly a trip to the Renaissance Faire

I have done little things with her at the piano; her fine motor skills are surprisingly good, but she mostly likes to "play" and sing at the same time.  She often asks me to play and makes demands on the songs.  I've showed her the patterns on the keys (groups of 3 & 2; black & white) and she gets its!

I personally don't start kids until age 5 or 6, even though some teachers start earlier.  I feel that they need to have the motor skills, ability to sit for 30min, and the interest.  Most 4 yr olds will have 1 or 2 out of the 3, but I like to have all 3 so I'm not setting them up for failure.  One good test for me is if the kid can touch each finger on their hand to their thumb, forwards and backwards.  Its tough for a kid!

I'd llloooove to see those panda party pics!  We did that last year and it was so cute--and easy!

She is so cute and looks like she has so much personality.

[summergirl1211]

Lillian is always so adorable! I don't think I've seen a "bad" picture of her, ever. I just adore her big smile and beautiful hair.

What is something special that she does with your H? I know they have limited time together, so it must be hard.

[cbear]

She is just the cutest and seems so sweet! What is her favorite food these days??

[mommymadness]

She is so adorable!!

[USCgirl]

MissMusic, Lilian is so cute and funny! I love that she has a sense of humor and likes to have lots of fun. I think it's great that she is so energetic and inquisitive too. Thanks for sharing with us!

[mightybee]

I love hearing Lillian stories and seeing her pictures. She is such a happy girl!

Hmm I think mac & cheese or pizza is top of the list now.  She had snow crab legs a few weeks ago and went nuts for them...my ILs let her dip them in chocolate syrup (first world problems) and she was hooked.

She's ridic good with chopsticks.  She'll eat whatever you have if you can eat with chopsticks.

Lillian and daddy are attached at the hip.  He's working a LOT more from home now, so they get more time together as of 2 weeks ago!

Daddy loves to give her a bath and take her to the park.  I just asked her and she said her favorite thing to do with daddy is play hide & seek!  She also likes to pretend he's sick, and take care of him with her play doctor kit.  Its so cute!

[nursedesi]

Shes absolutely adorable!

[bliz1712]

I can't pick a favorite picture, they are all great. Her personality sounds great. I can't wait till #2 comes along, lol!!

Does she have a favorite song that you guys sing or play together?

[babywinks]

She is so super cute. I love that she is silly - it makes for great memories for you and great photos for us!

[MissMusic]

Oh what the hell, here's a bunch more:

Killin' it with grandpa and chopsticks:


Splashin'


From a while ago: panda jacket and umbrella...because panda.


Reading in the Hundred Acre Wood

[MissMusic]

And the weirdest:

Supastar!


"Nakey butt" dancing is a regular occurrence in this house.


And she drew a fairly accurate picture of me.  I have a "happy face, crazy hair, and a heart beat".

She sings everything from her music class.  I think I've heard "Dee dee dee", Camptown Races, and Red River Valley more times than I can count.  She also loves our "special" lullaby called "Silver the Moon"--its a folk song by Diane Taraz.

She was all about NSync's Bye Bye Bye for a looong time, then "Counting Stars", and Happy" for radio songs.

Oh my goodness, she is such a little spitfire! She seems so joyful and full of life. Your pictures are awesome!

Edit: She reminds me of the quote from Midsummer's Night Dream, "Though she be but little, she is fierce."

We're thinking of getting some framed quotes art for her room, and thats one of them!

Love her! She's just such a doll!
