Independence

I am starting to feel a little more "free" with Lily, she is becoming more and more independent from me as she wants to walk everywhere and get down from the Ergo carrier. She spends more time playing with toys and looking at books, for longer periods of time. She is taking about 4 bottles a day, I am still making formula for her, but her hunger can also be satisfied with blueberries and water from her Sigg cup, so much easier when we are out and about. We spent the morning at Fashion Island yesterday, and Lily had so much fun playing in the fountain with the other little ones, she is defiantly a "people" person, she always makes *friends*, and says "hi" to everyone who makes eye contact with her. Her new word is "mermaid" we got her the Blabla mermaid, it is so soft and adorable, Lily *loves* it.
