This week Lily fell asleep a two-year-old, and woke up a three-year-old:
She had a wonderful birthday, and we are all enjoying time with family! No baby, so far…
How was your week?

So sweet!
So cute, I hope she had a wonderful birthday!
I was expecting baby news; I’m sure you are getting a lot of that. Three of my babies were late; my first was only early because I had preeclampsia and labor was induced.
She really had a lovely birthday – its was fun to see how much she enjoyed it!
All three of mine have been late. I have an induction date for this one, though, so at least there’s a deadline :)
What an awesome picture!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
I try to embrace the last day of the last year too…it’s their last time being that age!
Love the pictures. I am looking forward to meeting Baby A any day now!
Awesome pictures! What a neat idea to take a picture the night before. I may have to start up a new tradition over here. :)
Ahhhh so cute – she even looks to have grown up overnight.
It won’t be long until the baby is here :) Are the kids excited?
Overnight magical transformation! She is such a doll! Best wishes, MaryAnne!!!
Happy Birthday, Lily!
What a sweetie!! So big!! And a cupcake with sprinkles, too… mmmmmm. It’s good to be THREE! :)
I like to think about babies what Gandalf says about wizards in LOTR, when Frodo accuses him of being late: “A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.” :) I hope your wait is comfortable!
I don’t connect LOTR to babies much, but that quote is perfect :)
Happy belated birthday,she is gorgeous! I was thinking about you over the weekend,sending you good birthing vibes :)
I also have no baby, but I’m not expecting one…… :)
Loved that phrase! “Went to sleep two, woke up three.”
We’ve been celebrating birthdays too!! Caterpillar turned 1 yesterday (Sunday) and my mom was in town for his birthday, which meant she was also here for her birthday which was last Thursday. http://jennifischer.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-gift-for-grandma-homemadediy-lavender.html
We’re anxiously awaiting news from you. I’m looking, but only found one tot bot so far — I know there are more, so when they turn up, I’ll get them to you!!
Oh how sweet! Those pictures are just adorable! Happy birthday Lily!
