Lilly turns a year old!

Time flies SO FREAKING FAST! Seriously, it's mind-boggling. I swear it felt like just 2 months ago that Lilly was born....
I'm not sure I've actually made a post exclusively about Lilly. Besides her birth, anyways.
So since before Lilly was even born, Tyler and I (mostly I) hung out at the Bailey's all. the. time. And Lilly's birth didn't change that one bit. Well...maybe a little...
Turns out I forgot how much fun it was taking care of a little newborn. And obviously I didn't get the full experience, because I didn't have to deal with waking up fifty times a night, or the other tiring things that come with a new baby. BUT, I got to hold her and feed her and rock her to sleep and dress and play with her. All the good stuff. :)
So I hung out there a lot more. Eventually we began joking about how I'm their nanny and then I realized- I totally am! and I totally love it! 
1: Rachel and I get along fabulously, so it's easy for me to be around her.
2: Ella, Jack and Lilly are so fun! And sweet. And funny!
3: Growing up, I always helped care for kids (younger siblings, cousins and babysitting), and so I feel at home and happy when caring for the Bailey children, even if I'm dealing with a temper tantrum, poopy diaper, teething and chompy baby nearly causing me to bleed from my knees or fingers, or the occasional rebellion against going to bed. 


So basically, Lilly is my little doll that I get to take care of (almost) whenever I want!
...okay, actually this is sounding familiar...I think I may have talked a little about this already...oh well!

My point to this post is that it's been a whole year since Lilly's been born! I feel so blessed to have been able to watch her grow up this past year and I look forward to the coming years!









Happy birthday, Lilly! Tyler and I love you!!
