She changed her name to Lily Pops.

You never imagine how much you'll miss your little ones, once they aren't so little any more. I know that Lily is only 3 and to A LOT of people that's still tiny, but in my mind, tiny is that 7lb 12oz baby that I brought home from the hospital. The other day she was doing something "naughty" (nothing she does is really naughty, it's really just more mischievous than anything and 99% of the time hilarious) and I said, "Lily Addison Sipes!" In my best mommy voice, but let's face it my mom voice isn't the best.... it's more of an ALMOST mom voice. Reminder to self: work on mom voice. She no joke looked at me and said in her best big girl voice, "My name is NOT Lily Addison Sipes any more, I changed it to Lily Pops!" Well let me tell you something Lily Pops, your rude tude is adorable sometimes and it kills me. I just keep looking at my biggest princess and thinking, "Please slow down." She's potty trained, she said her first curse word (thanks sailor mouthed mom) and she can even ride her bike all on her own like it's nobody's business. I feel like a time machine is much needed. I need her to be like 3 foreverrrrrrrr!!!
  So it's time for Christmas crafting and I'd like to say that I've done a lot more crafting than I have, but alas all I've done really is make a cardboard tree (it's bitchin fo shooooo') and Lily and I made salt dough ornaments for her grandparents Christmas presents! AHH!! Talk about a good time haha She LOVED rolling the dough and painting them. It's probably the easiest stuff to make ever. I'd give a straight up tutorial on it, but I got mine from homemade grits. The only thing we did a little differently was paint her hands and I put felt on the back of the ornaments, because I have a serious case of new mommy brain and forgot the grease the pan. GO TEAM FORGET EVERYTHING! haha The finished product just made me so happy too. Having those little hands preserved forever is the best gift I could have given myself. Not to mention its her first handmade Christmas ornament!!!! H O L L E R!

my big girl <3

*tears*

our finished product!! OW OW!

So there's that for you. Currently Lily is at her dad's mom's house (wow that's rough to type haha) and she won't be back for two weeks **WAAAHHH SNOOKIE WHINEEE** With her gone I dunno what to do with myself really, it's entirely too quite. 14 days is just way too stinkin' long if you ask me. Time for me to bid you a due though, it's 3 a.m. and Emory thinks it's PAR-TAY time. Oh to be 4 months old again right? Wrong. haha I will leave you with an incredibly disturbing picture of my husband at the end of Movember. (If you don't know what that is google it) Man am I glad I don't have to see that hideous mustache any more haha. 

Creepy right? yes.
