Happy 4th Birthday Our Sweet sweet Lillie-bear!!!!
20 random things about Lillie
1) She does not like change! Of anything! Food, clothing, sleeping arrangements...don't mess with her routine~
2) She twirls her hair in her sleep while sucking her thumb. The knots were so bad that she was going bald on the sides of her head. We had to get a pretty "new do" last week
3) She treats her doll, Baby Emma, like a real live baby. One day she and Emma fell down the stairs and she didn't shed a tear but soothed all of Emma's!
4) She loves to pray. She will pray to her babies, to herself, for other people when they leave our house. It is heart melting.
5) She thinks Dora is real and is going to visit her at our house one of these days. (anyone have a Dora costume I can borrow?)
6) She is a really really good runner. Has always had amazing legs and super coordination. She imitates me running around the court with her baby stroller. Makes me laugh.
7) Her favorite all time song is Away in the Manger. It is NOT a Christmas song in our house. It is just an everyday song for any occasion.
8) She knew how to count to 10 in Spanish WAY before English (thanks to Dora and Parker)
9) She loves and idolizes her big brother. He can do no wrong. Which is bad sometimes b/c he spoils her rotten and she thinks everyone should treat her the same way!
10) She needs white noise and a fan to sleep soundly
11) She gives amazing hugs. Nothing wimpy and if you are lucky enough to get one, it is with all her heart!
12) Can seriously snuggle ALL day (and has). She has a cuddle addiction
13) She is extremely thoughtful and considerate. We think she might win a Humanitarian Award someday for her kindness. When she was 1 we thought is was a phase (bringing everyone their water bottles and toothbrushes) but here we are 3 years later and we still get shoes brought to us every morning and keys ready for the van!
14) Some of her nicknames are : Lillie-bear, Lil the pill, Silly Lillie willie, Peanut, Cuddle-bug
15) She blows kisses backwards (first the blow and then the kiss) It is very very funny! We don't want her to do it right~
16) She can navigate the computer better than some adults. She has very advanced "mouse skills".
17) When you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she says very adamantly " Me's going to be a mommy with a baby in her belly!"
18)If you love her and she loves you, she just assumes you are family. It's as simple as that.
19) She is very warm blooded and wears tank tops all winter long!
20) She is a direct blessing from God and not a day goes by that I do not thank God for the gift of her little life.
Lillie, thanks you for lighting up our life in sooo many ways. Our hope and prayer is that you will always be as tenderhearted, compassionate and loving as you are today. Kisses, hugs and Cuddles~

Happy Birthday, Lillie ... from Grandma and Grandpa in Michigan. We miss you!
Wow, what a blessing little Lillie is! She is definitely a treat to share any moments with and I know we always leave feeling a bit more fortunate to see such kindness and selflessness displayed in a little girl's life! Btw, Jovey LOVES Away in a Manger too and JOshua begs me to get her to sing other songs on command, but she won't let go of that, no matter time, place, or situation! Love you Lillie! Happy 4th B-day and may we get to spend many more with you and your beautiful family!
oh, and #21. Lillie can swim better than most college swim team members. She is truly a fish and I'm pretty sure she may have gills somewhere on that cute, little body!
haha.. i take the swimming proficiently thing for granted but you're right.. she is an astounding swimmer.
I also got to thinking about how #22 could be she doesn't like icing or chocolate... just wierd!!!
Wow, 4 already?! That means Brynn is not to far away herself. Too bad we didn't live closer together, I think Lillie and Brynn would be awesome friends. Have an awesome year Lillie!!
