Yesterday, I worked at Lillie's school and when I came home Sophie was drinking out of her sippy cup by herself. I forgot to tell the babysitter that she needed help, but she must have just handed the sippy cup to Sophie and she knew what to do. 
This is my favorite photo of her chugging her milk.
The Girls love the tent and tunnel that they got from Aunt Amy and Brenden.
Sophie also loves getting a hold of Lillie's colorwonder markers. They only write on special paper and I think that she does a great job at holding the marker. She is also doing a great job at carefully turning the paper pages of the books, without ripping them.
Tomorrow, Lillie is going to a bowling birthday party for one of her good friends, Camille. She has not bowled before, so it should be interesting to see how Lillie is going to get the ball down the lane. I know that she will have fun. The other day, Lillie asked me how to spell "Mulan", so she could spell the word with the refrigerator magnets. I started to spell it "Mulan" for her and then she ran into the living room. She came back to the kitchen with her Disney Princess book. She opened it up to the table of contents, which also had photos next to the chapter list. She found "Mulan", and then lined up the magnets to spell it on the refrigerator. This was the first time that she used a book to look up the spelling of a word.
Lillie went to a bowling birthday party yesterday and she had a lot of fun. She carried her ball up to the line and pushed it down the lane everytime. After, we went out for Chinese food and the fortune in her cookie read: "There is a prospect of a thrilling time ahead for you." 
Lillie can count to 100 and she is starting to learn to spell. The other night, I was talking with Brian and I spelled out "M-I-L-K". Lillie yelled out "Milk."

Here is another photo from Lillie's birthday party. She was so excited to blow out the candles that she didn't wait until we finished singing to blow out the first candle. 
Sophie started to cut her molars and we offered her a popsicle to help with the pain. She really enjoyed the new experience of the popsicle.
It was in the 50's today and we played outside this afternoon. We were even able to go for a walk and play on the swingset. It is forcasted to be in the 60's tomorrow and I expect that Lillie will get to play outside after school tomorrow, if the rain holds off.
Sophie had tubes put in her ears this morning. We hope that this helps reduce the number of ear infections and the pain that they cause. This picture was taken before she went in for surgery. 
Mom got a new dishwasher and Sophie climbed up on the door today. I think that she was trying to get to the Elmo glass on the top shelf.
