Lillian reads one of her favorite books, Cookie's Week by Cindy Ward

Singing

The videos are actually from January, but in the interest of making good on my pledge to post SOMETHING, here they are! She sings a bit better now, but January (thanks to the influence of her singing-loving friend JT Burford) was when she really started singing. I think that's kind of late, but it's fun now!

Lillian sings (sort of) Itsy Bitsy Spider:


And now for Jesus Loves Me:


And finally, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star:

Jumping

For the longest time, Lillian practiced jumping but couldn't actually get off the ground... she has since learned (as of 3 days ago), but here is what her practice sessions used to look like... I can't easily edit this video in the program I'm using so feel free to stop it after she goes and looks in the mirror. She doesn't do anything else after that... :) It's just the first few seconds really.

Signing... again

Well, I have a whole series of videos from this "shoot" of Lillian doing signs. But unless you know the signs, you might not recognize them. Thus, it could be a bit boring... so I think I'll only post this one video and not all the others. I know I haven't put up a new post in forever, but it is hard to get a video lately. The lighting is never right and so it is usually either way to bright and washed out or so dark you can hardly see it. Annoying! So, my apologies, I will continue shooting little videos and hopefully will find something good enough to post!

Oops

Lillian thinks the word "Oops!" is hilarious!


In this first video, I didn't actually know that "Oops" was the funny part. I was assembling a shelf and every time the Alan wrench (sp?) fell out she cracked up (had been going on for 5 minutes or so before I called Matthias to tape it), but now I know it was because I said "Oops" each time (it took a few days before I figured this out) (I'm a little slow I guess). :)



Here I had figured out it was a word, but I thought it was "Ip" or Bib" since that is how Lillian pronounces "Oops!" It wasn't until the next day that I figured out that "Oops" was what was setting her off each time. (This time I had said oops originally which started the giggling (because she dropped something), but then when I had the camera I thought it was something else.



Finally, I figured out that oops was the funny word. Now, she cracks up all the time, whenever she hear someone say, "Oops!" It is really funny.
