Happy weekend everybody! Can you believe July is almost over already? Summer is moving by so fast. Today, the family and I are taking it easy, and enjoying summer while it’s still here. Lily has discovered a new love for playing dress up, as shown below. This sparkly pink tutu dress is one of her current favorites. Everyday a new aspect of her personality reveals itself with new words, likes/dislikes, and skills. I feel so lucky to be her mom!

Lily is so cute in her pink dress!
Right?! She just melts my heart. She is hilarious and so strong willed. You should have seen what she went to school in today (polka dot orange pants with a Facebook t-shirt that reads “Pretty like Daddy. Smart like Mommy.” It was the least-matching outfit ever…).
