She Will Move Mountains!

Our super hero...She will move mountains in her life!

It has been way too long since I have posted updates about Lily's world.  So let me start with Halloween!  Once again our little bug was dressed as a super hero for Halloween.  This year we chose Batgirl...why?  Because it was so adorable and fit Lily's personality so well!  By the second day she had her costume she was signing bat and then girl and saying Batgirl.  We even got her to sing "nah nah nah nah batgirl".  She wasn't completely in love with wearing the mask that I made her, but she warmed up to it after we finally got it on her.

Excited to go trick or treat!

Lily has started a toddler class here at the Phoenix Day School for the Deaf and this made learning some cool Halloween signs/words really fun!   We learned the signs for pumpkin, bat, vampire, ghost, and spider.  Lily really enjoys the company of the other kids, though she is pretty shy.  She is starting to open up and play more with her classmates and she is starting to interact with her teacher more as well.  It is just amazing to watch Lily pick up so much language!

Happy Late Halloween!

Trick or Treat With Our Little Superhero!

Introducing Super Bionic Baby!

This was Lily's first Halloween to go Trick or Treating so we picked the best costume to suit who she is.  First off Lily is and forever will be our hero.  So we choose for her to be Super Baby!  The costume was cute and pink of course.  I made a few tweaks to make it modern and hip for Lily so that she could look as adorable as possible.  In the end Lily came out as one adorable Super Bionic Baby!  Why?  Because her super power is her processors that allow her to hear of course!

Every superhero needs their milk right?

Lily loved spending the night with her brothers and sister and most of all she loved that she got candy!  We have not really given Lily candy up to this point.  I think she had a sucker on Easter last year, but never tons of candy like last night.  She stole a crunch bar from her Halloween tub and bit a hole in the wrapper so she could eat it.  What a little stinker she is!

Last night was also very special because Lily got to meet her Great Aunt Joni who is also deaf.  Lily was a little skittish at first but seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly.  She seemed to love watching Joni sign to her.  She has watched signing time and seen a few people sign to her in real life, but she loved watching Joni sign!  I am hoping that Lily will be able to become proficient enough in sign to maybe one day video chat in sign with Joni.  I feel it is important for them both.  Hopefully Lily will get to know Joni much better over the years as she gets older!
