Lilly is turning into a mischief maker.  She is not yet walking, but she sure gets around!  She is able to reach much further than I give her credit for.  This morning she reached Judah’s little play-doh bucket and took every toy out and spread it on the floor.  I picked all that up, and she turned to the next thing.  She is learning to climb stairs, but hasn’t yet fallen on them, so she doesn’t know how hazardous they are!  Lilly loves to throw things off her highchair onto the floor.  She has Mac perfectly trained to sit and wait for the next gift to come sailing down.  Mac loves graham crackers.

Lilly has discovered the joys of playing with the books on Daddy’s night stand and all the junk on Mama’s side of the bed.  And that little rascal knows how to scoot away from me in a hurry as I’m trying to catch up with her.  She’s not even walking yet!  But she sidles away with a huge grin on her face as I find her going around the bed to get to my things.

This morning when I wasn’t looking, Lilly found the lower Lazy Susan cabinet open in the kitchen, so she proceeded to remove several stacks of plastic plates and cups and bowls from the shelves.  To add to the fun, she also spit up some of her breakfast oatmeal right in the middle of it all, just to keep me guessing.

Lilly is officially changing from a sweet charming baby to a mischievious little pest.  I think the next few months are going to be interesting.  I hope I can keep one step ahead of her, but since she’s already beating me at this game, I don’t have a good feeling about this.  And every time she beams her charming smile at me, I forget all the trouble she causes.  She’s good at that.
