Sipping - Yesterday when we were in the car I looked back and Lily was actually holding her sippy cup with both hands and turning it up like a big girl. Usually she will hold it and I have to kind of tip it back for her to get a drink. Well, guess those days are gone!
Biting - Oh yeah....I've "heard" about this problem but haven't experienced it until recently. Ouch. She's only done it a couple of times but it's when she's finished nursing and my reaction of course is one of sheer pain and I tell her "no bite, Lily" and she just gives me this big grin and I try to stay serious but I end up busting out laughing.
Big hands - Ok, so this is a little weird to say but....my baby's hands are starting to look like little girl hands and not baby hands. I just noticed it yesterday. And y'all know me....it made me sad. I'm just not ready for her to leave babyhood and become a little girl yet.
"No Lily" - So, we are beginning to tell Lily "no" and when I said it for the first time yesterday she DID NOT like it. She just looked at me like "how could you!?" She was on the changing table and reaching back to grab the bottle of Purell and I told her "no" and kind of popped her hand. Of course she tried it again....and again....and I kept telling her "no." And we were in the process of getting to the bath and playing with all her toys and splashing around which she loves. In that moment I thought about how God must see me....sometimes I grab for things that aren't going to be good for me and He has something much better but I can't see where we're headed and I keep grabbing. Oh Lord, help me to listen to You and to know that You have a plan and know what's ahead. (good things! .....maybe not rubber ducks and frogs :) but "plans to prosper us and not harm us, plans to give us a hope and a future" Jerem. 29:11)
Oh, and I wanted to include a few pictures from our Memorial Day weekend. We went to Gulf Breeze to visit some friends from Calvary Chapel and attend a baby shower and of course, see Nana.
Went by for a quick visit with our sweet friend April. Please pray for her! She will be leaving next Monday to go to Jacksonville, FL for 2 months to receive proton therapy (a type of radiation) for a brain tumor and we are praying that this will be the tool that God uses to heal her! 
Lily had an encounter with a Bluebell ice cream pop :)

what a big girl! they do begin to look so big when they can use their cup themselves. it's weird. it always makes me think " ok , she's turning into a kid, not a baby anymore". and I can't stop looking at her chubby little legs in the picture with the ice cream! oh, so sweet!
