Growing and changing

I think Lilly has changed more in the last few weeks then she has in the last several months combined. It seems like just over night her vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds. Today I asked her if she wanted to go to the park and instantly she said "go park". I also asked her where her "Chirpy Chick" book was and she crawled over to it, brought it back to my lap and then opened it to the first page waiting for me to start reading. It amazes me that not only can she repeat what I am saying but actually understands the meaning of the words.

I just love this time of year. It is so beautiful outside with the sun shining and the breeze blowing. You know summer is around the corner when you hear neighbors mowing and kids playing at the park in the middle of the afternoon.
