Such a Chatterbox!

Lily is following in her sister's footsteps and is a huge chatterbox. She has a ton of words and phrases (one of my favorites is "Hey guys!" that she yells to the twins as she crawls down the hall). She has far more words than Abby did at this age and I can only imagine what it will be like with those to dueling for mommy or daddy's ears. Jake better hurry and catch up or he doesn't stand a chance of getting a word in edge wise with those two! She's at the stage where she mixes babbles with real words but she is such the conversationalist. She points, talks with inflection and looks right at you as she tells you the most interesting stories.
She also had her 1 year check up a few weeks back and is doing well. She's small like Jake and weighs 18 pounds. She's super healthy although very picky. Even more than Jake. UGH! Although I'm hoping once she's weaned she'll start to eat more. Fingers crossed! Right now she likes carbs only. No meat, no veggies and no fruits. So, she eats lots of muffins packed with fruit and veggies. One of her favorites is a zucchini, squash and carrot muffin (pureed zucchini and squash with grated carrots). I'm working on a spinach muffin recipe but haven't actually tried to make it yet. Just need to tweak the recipe a bit. I know I could do it in a chocolate muffin, but not sure she'll eat chocolate (plus I don't really want her to eat chocolate all the time). I'll let you know how it comes out though!

28 lbs? That's not small! I think Jennifer probably only weighs 28 lbs at 3 yrs!
