Lili…the following is a list of current likes/dislikes:
LILI LIKES
- When we stand you up and lean you on the back of the couch – you think it is HILARIOUS to bury your head into the cushions and look up and bend knees and ‘stand up’ again – repeat 15,000 times in a row
- Yogurt
- When eating you like to talk/moan through it ‘mmnn…mnnn….mnnnnn’
- Franny’s Feet – the most adorable kids cartoon on PBS – but only 15 mins and then you are on overload
- Watching You Tube videos
- Smashing hands on computer keyboard
- Coming up the steps to our apartment and leaning your head way, way back so neck is exposed and laughing as you looks up – each and every time we walk into house
- The sound of Ziploc bags crackling which I am constantly grabbing away from you
- Books, books and more books – each and every time I say, “Which one do you want to read next?” and there is a long pause as your eyes scan the pile and then you grunt and slap your choice repeatedly
- Sticking legs through holes in crib so feet are dangling – yes we lowered the crib
- To turn the light switch in your room on and off
- Peek-A-Boo
- The remote control and cell phones and chewing on keys (gross I know)
- Pulling magnets off the fridge door
- Putting your hand under running water during bath time in the sink
- Chewing on plastic lids
- ‘Chewing’ water – when takes sip of water – gasps loudly – and then ‘chews’ it
- Staring at the parents or caregivers of kids being pushed on the swings when you are on the swing – could care less about other kids next to you
- While nursing – you take two sips and then look up and smile and laugh and babble then down again for two sips then up again for smiles and laughs – repeat 50,000 times in a row – we call this the ‘milk review’
- Using your feet in monkey like ways still – grabbing toys, etc.
- Clapping

We’ve been using the Neutragena (sp?) spray on sunscreen and Ollie loves it. It feels nice and cool when it touches the skin. It’s made applying the sunscreen really fun b/c he laughs and giggles as I spray his legs.
