Lily has a hard time with “L”s so her name isn’t something that she’s even really tried till a couple of days ago. Out of nowhere she said Lily and I was shocked. Now she won’t just say Lily, she always says “Lily Bean” which is fine with me. It was my goal to get it recorded because I want to always remember the way she says it. It just melts my heart. I was afraid that I’d never get it recorded because she doesn’t like to show off and when I ask her to do something she usually gets embarrassed and just smiles at me. I was very happy that she was in a cooperative mode this evening and I got it.

A small glimps of Lily talking
It is so hard to get Lily talking on video because as soon as she sees the camera she goes into picture mode. This is a very small glimpse of how chatty she is.
Drink
I have only showed Lily the sign for drink a few times and I’m pretty sure the last time I used it was over a week ago. So you can imagine how shocked I was when she toddled up to me today and wiggled her hand in front of her chin and then pointed at my cup.

I should have edited the first part but I just wanted to get it posted. Sorry.
Walking and talking
We got a new point and shoot camera because our old one died. I was this (picture my thumb and index finger a breath away from each other) to getting a DSLR but we wanted something easily portable for our upcoming vacation so we went with a really nice Cannon P&S. I took a couple of videos of Lily with our new toy and was so happy with how they came out.

Under the gate
We have turned our living room into a giant play pen with baby gates on each door way. Because our cats are fat, lazy and some of them are old and stubborn the gates are raised off the floor 4-6 inches. We knew that Lily might be able to wiggle under the gates but hoped we were wrong. We were not. Yesterday she was playing by the gate to our bedroom and threw a toy to the other side and next thing I knew she was in our bedroom. When I brought her back to the livingroom she kept trying to walk through the gate.
Today I was able to catch video evidence of how ineffective the gate is.

Sorry the video is a little shaky I was laughing (silently) so hard at her.
When I went in after her she took off in a high speed chase around our bed laughing at how fun the whole thing was.
