I keep trying to keep her little, but life happens!

Lily is definitely growing up!  Until very recently she wore a long skirt every day, but now she is beginning to embrace more of a pre-teen look.  Leggings and tunics, cute slim-fitting dresses, she even found some cute jean shorts she loves!

We recently went to Charlotte's  9th birthday party and Lily tried roller skating for 2nd time and she did really well.  I was so impressed and proud!  She really got the hang of it.



Her body is beginning to show some signs of maturing as well.  I can't believe how fast it is happening.  The other day I had a really bad day so I got half a dozen crabs and I really wanted a cold beer.  I told Lily, "I look forward to the day when we can go out together as adults when we can order a dozen crabs and order a beer or two.  She replied, "Mommy I can't wait until I can have one of the fruity drinks you drink out of a coconut with you!"  Me too little lady, me too!  But not too soon okay:)

Lily continues to be a little mama.  Sometimes it is really sweet and sometimes it drives us all totally crazy!!!!  I guess it's just her instinct, but her poor brother cannot get a break!  I am constantly telling her he doesn't need you to be his mama, just be his sister!

Funny thing tonight, our neighbor Cindy was talking with Lily and she was remarking that even though Lily is not flesh of my flesh, she has so many of my mannerisms...Cindy was like" Hey, that's a Kimmie characteristic".

Gosh, I love this girl to pieces!  As much as I hate her growing up, I do hope she continues on her current path and we can be close friends when she is an adult!
