Happy 4th Birthday to Lilia!

My posts got a little out of order. I forgot for a split second that Lilia's b-day comes before Ila's. Oh well.  She's 4, going on something a lot older.  She's a sass, that's for sure. We all love her.  She was 32 pounds at her 4 year check up. Up a whopping 2 pounds from her 3 year, if I remember correctly.

Lilia and I get to spend some quality time together in the mornings, with Eva and Colby at school, and Ila napping.  I love my time with Lilia.

She started a little dance class about a month ago and loves it.  She is a fan of dancing.  She and Eva have started turning the music on on the computer and rocking out.  It is hilarious. See for yourself! For her birthday her aunt Melissa gave her a Disney Princess CD, that thing is on constant rotation.



She has the most infectious laugh.  She has the greatest smile. She can't wait to be in preschool. Her favorite thing in the world is to have a play date, whether it's a friend her age or playing with Eva's friends when they come over. Ila is her biggest fan.  Ila has started screaming as loud and as high pitched as possible whenever someone is doing something to her that she doesn't like.  So, I always think Lilia picking her up, or taking something from her, or moving her, anything that usually makes her scream, will get the same reaction, but Lilia somehow gets away with it. She's been dressing herself lately, in all kinds of crazy get-ups. (I try really hard not to let them annoy me.) There have been no hair cutting incidents since the beginning of last summer. Although when her hair had grown out to a long enough length I went and had the whole thing cut to be the same length and Eva was very upset when she got home from school and saw her.  She likes Lilia with long hair, I guess.

Lilia can be so sweet and make you feel so special when you're on her good side. Which is getting to be a more often than not.  (Yay!)

Happy Birthday Lil. I love you!

                   

                   She's a lefty, just like her grandmas.
