Like most toddlers, Lily is really into being naked and cannot wait for her few minutes of clothing and diaper freedom before bed each night. She runs around the house dancing in circles and proclaiming "I naked!" over and over. The process always starts with her saying "dress off," "pants off," ext. until she is down to a blissful nothing. The other night when she was fully undressed, she started pulling at her hair and saying "hair off." Blake and I of course rolled with laughter and when she realized the joke, she started naming everything... "eyes off," "ears off," etc. and laughing.

Lily is learning new things every day and constantly keeps us in a state of laughter and amazement. She is still a little inconsistent on her colors, but knows several shapes, a few letters and can count to 10. She still loves monsters and has added dragons, dinosaurs and hippos to the list of things she wants to "watch," "read" and "color." She also loves to play with stickers and feed and care for "Baby Lucy" (which is the name she calls both of her baby dolls).

Allergy Update: Lily's 1-year allergy follow up tests were a few days ago. The good news is that her milk and egg allergy numbers have decreased significantly and we will be able to test with real eggs when she turns two. Milk will probably follow next year. The bad news is that she is definitely allergic to Cooper. This was not really a shock, but hearing it as fact packed a heavier punch. The verdict is still out as to whether we will indeed will have to say goodbye to Coop... stay tuned.
