Lily Lick a Lolly

Remember that Lick a Lolly song from The Electric Company?  AJ went to a store in New York called Dylan's Candy Bar and brought all the girls back candy - including very large lollipops.  As a result we have been singing "Lily lick a lolly" a lot to Liliana! (say that 10 times fast)



Anyway - I took pictures of all of them today and it has been so long since there have been kid pictures here!


Lincoln is now 14 months old - and still not walking!  Boy were we wrong when we said he would be before his 1st birthday!  He technically CAN do it - he just chooses not to.  We have seen him take steps - but only when he is not thinking about it.  If he thinks - then he crawls instead.  Naughty boy.  Lincoln waves, points, signs "drink/milk", blows kisses, and babbles a TON.  His favorite words are dad, mom, car, cracker, hi.   When the phone rings, he waves and says, "Hi Dad!" since we talk to AJ so much on the phone and computer now!  He loves to push any and all objects around the floor like a car.  He likes to yell and point at the Cheerios box when he is hungry.   When he is upset or tired, he like to twirl the hair on the back of his head with his finger.  It is noticably thinner where he does most of the twirling.  Sometimes he likes to lay his head down and have me twirl his hair for him.



Idgie is quickly approaching 3 years old (just a few more weeks).  Which of course means she is at the age where she feels very strongly - about everything.  She is currently taking swimming lessons twice a week that she LOVES.  She loves to follow around the older girls and fits in more and more everyday with their play.  Her favorite show is Caillou and her favorite word right now is currently, "NO". 


Liliana is thriving in her karate classes.  She goes twice a week and adores her teachers and works so hard.  I was told by one parent that her son said that Lil is "the smartest girl in the whole class" and another parent reported that her son said that Lil is "the prettiest girl in the whole class" - I'm sure you can guess the boy to girl ratio in there!   Lil has such a big heart.  She loves to snuggle and please others.  Lil also loves to sing.  She remembers lyrics and tunes and begs us to turn on music in the car.


Emmaline is really becoming a kid.  A big kid.  Her favorite current phrase is, "OH SNAP!" She loves books about horses and currently loves the movie Black Beauty.   She got straight A's on her report card this year with her favorite subjects being art and social studies.  She is still taking piano lessons and doing very well.  She is now officially on the Grand Staff and we like to play duets together.  She recently did her yearly allergy testing so we will soon have another round of food challenges coming up.  Hopefully she can actually pass milk this year! 

And one more picture just because it is cute:



Rating:  4  Lollipops!

Bethany, what was that website where you can buy the spices in bulk? You posted it on BBC like ten thousand years ago. Feel free to delete this comment so it's not cluttering up your cute blog. ;)
