A few things to remember

Lilly is as enthralled with George's cage as she is with the remote control (she's also partial to the dog's water bowl).

Lilly's excitement to see Ellen every afternoon.  Phillip picks up Lilly first and then they go get Ellen.  As they walk out to the car Lilly makes sure Ellen doesn't leave her sight.  She kicks her legs and squeals.  Phillip says it is very sweet.  Funny story... one time when I picked up Ellen, which is very rare, the SACC worker at the desk looked at me and then looked at Lilly and said "Are you here for Ellen?"  When I said yes, he said he didn't recognize me but he recognized the baby.  She's famous!

The kindness of Lilly's teacher.

Ellen's outgoing answering machine messages.

Watching the cooking show with Ellen on Saturday mornings (Pioneer Woman's show on Food Network).

Ellen consoling Lilly with "honey, honey, honey" (her voice and the way she says it).

Ellen learning to read.

Phillip texting me pictures of an empty sink and dishwasher as proof he emptied and reloaded the dishwasher (can't argue with that).

Chunky baby legs in tights (specifically Lilly's chunky legs in tights).

Ellen is a Mommy's girl.  Big time.  "How about we all go.  Except Daddy and Lilly."
