Like father like daughter

She saw a frog tonight, and pronounces it like I'm told I did at her age:

Here's the frog - a tiny thing, in case you're curious:

20 Months!

Here are the pictures from last weekend's dinner that Benjamin didn't get (because he's obviously busy taking pictures of Lily, as usual.) :)
Not much to see here, except Lily chomping some cobbler:
And what we've been up to lately...Making pizza with Maya and Meg. (This was taken a little while before Lily got hurt while they were fighting over the oven door. I was not a happy babysitter.)
Anyway, Lily is 20 months old today. 20 months! She's basically a two year old now. :( And it shows! Here she is throwing a fit about something boot-related (not unusual):
And crying with a mouth full of dirt after trying to climb into her wagon and doing a face-plant on the driveway. :(
But she's a smart, happy girl most of the time. I've been letting her pick out her own clothes some mornings. Here she is stylin' in her pink velour pants and her Peanuts tshirt:
And we've been spending most mornings at Rocky Ridge playing on the slides.
Check out her awesome morning hair. :)
Those pictures were clearly taken before this current heat wave. She's wearing far less clothing the past few days. My mom was in Florida from Saturday until last night and she said it was cooler there than it is here. Yesterday around 4 (and 102 degrees) our power went out (fantastic!) which woke Lily up from her nap (and yes, 4 is late to be napping but she refused to go down until after 2:30) so we met Benjamin in Lititz and had dinner with Kelly and Joe. We got home a little after 7 and fortunately our power had come back on around 6:30. It turns out that 38,000 people in York County were without power yesterday. You can read all about it here (I thought there may be some engineers in the family that might want the details.) :)

Knee-high by the fourth

What a weekend!

Saturday night we had Anna & Josh and Ian & Christina, none of whom are pictured, over for dinner, also not pictured, followed by delicious blackberry cobbler:


Sunday afternoon, lunch with Lanie's dad and lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins:




This morning after breakfast we went up to Rocky Ridge (the park way up the hill) and walked around:




This afternoon, Lily made friends with some sheep:




This video starts a little slow, but you can see her trying to feed the sheep some grass:


Bye bye sheep:


On the way back from the sheep, walking through the woods, Lily spotted four oak trees growing together and demanded to be put down in the middle of them:


and climbed around in her flip flops:


extensively...



What a weekend.
