Lilly was one of those kids that once she learned how to talk, she didn’t stop. Right around Christmas of 2014 when she was a little over 16 months old, she just hit this stride and ever since then, her vocabulary took off. And now, at two and a half, she’s CRAZY articulate and so smart. I realize I’m the biased mom, but for real… this kid has a crazy memory, an incredible ability to memorize things, and the way she comes up with things sometimes is just hilarious.

She’s also in that stage where she just says things that are funny. And I realize they might not be funny to everyone and they are likely only funny to me… but whatever. 🙂

I’ve started trying to remember to write down the things she says and just remember the way she says things because she’s losing her “baby” words every day and sounding more and more like a little girl and less and less like a toddler or baby.

Anyway, I wanted to start sharing some of those things that she says or things she does that make me laugh… really just for my own purpose of actually writing it down and documenting it.

Welcome to… #ChatsWithLilly.
