Four Years Old!


On October 20, our sweet Lily turned FOUR YEARS OLD! Like every other parent on Earth, we’re wondering where the time has gone and how our little baby is a full-fledged kid. No more baby. No more toddler. Lily is definitely growing up. 

Her stats, in case you’re wondering (and yes, they still chart these things at the pediatrician’s office, even when they’re four):  

  • Height: 36 inches (92nd percentile)
  • Weight: 37 pounds (68th percentile) 

To say Lily is bright would be an understatement. On most days, she’s smarter than her parents, much to our dismay. She can negotiate better than a car salesman, which usually gets her what she wants. On the rare occasion that she doesn’t get her way, she says defiantly, “I want to do it the way I want to do it!!!” And if that doesn’t work, a nasty temper tantrum is next on her agenda. In the last year, she’s become very familiar with time out! 

But for every temper tantrum she has, she’s 10 times as sweet on a regular day. She loves her baby sister like no other and is free with hugs and kisses for Marin (and us). She’s really into My Little Pony and anything princess. Lily is very independent and enjoys picking out her own clothes for school each day (sometimes with “interesting” results) and deciding what she’s going to have for dinner each night. 

She really is a super star kid and we’re so happy she’s ours!
