LiliBee’s point of view

Give me the camera! The kids love to take over my camera… CareBear is getting pretty good at taking the pictures that she wants. LiliBee is still learning which way to point the camera. Here are a few pictures by LiliBee:

Happily Ever After

LiliBee has started acting out stories with her Little People. It’s a lot of fun to watch.

Runaway princess! Get back here, princess!

Here comes the prince. Here comes the prince.

Poor princess... Awwww… poor princess.

Will they ever find each other? The plot thickens!

Happily ever after. The prince and princess are together again.

My work here is done. LiliBee’s work here is done.

A girl and her doll

LiliBee Last week, I posted about CareBear and Spots. This week, it’s LiliBee and one of her “babies” hanging in the car…

LiliBee They play with toys.

LiliBee They give hugs.

LiliBee They take in the sights.

LiliBee They talk.

LiliBee They ‘re very cute.

LiliBee It’s a good life.

Next Top Model, toddler edition

True to her nature as a little sister, LiliBee has to do everything CareBear does (you’ll notice her “coach” in the corner)… here are her “posing” shots… and a couple of head shots, just for fun.

LiliBee models. LiliBee models. LiliBee models. LiliBee models. LiliBee models. LiliBee models.

Work it, baby!

LiliBee’s newest skill…

We spend a lot of time brushing CareBear’s hair… it’s very curly and tangles up very easily.

A little over here. LiliBee has been watching this for the last year and a half or so.

LiliBee the stylist. She’s apparently decided to help out.

LiliBee is working. CareBear happily sits still in the chair while LiliBee plays beauty salon.

LiliBee brushes. It’s pretty cute and funny.

Siblings

Shhh... I'm trying to rest. Having more than one kid can be interesting. For instance, the big one might be enjoying a leisurely evening in a lounge chair.

LiliBee joins in. When the little one decides to join them.

All is well. And all is calm.

Headbutt! Until the head-butting and/or hair-pulling begins.

Benches

On our recent visit to NorthWest Trek, we learned something new… benches are almost more fun than looking at the animals. The kids didn’t miss an opportunity to climb up onto a bench (and they had lots of opportunities, I’ve never noticed how many benches are scattered around the park). LiliBee and CareBear had different bench “styles” though…

CareBear and Pas on a bench. CareBear and Pas were more of the “waiting for the bus” type of bench sitters.

CareBear and Pas on a bench. Or maybe “hanging in the park”.

CareBear and Pas on a bench. I have no idea what the topic of conversation was, but it was pretty entertaining to watch from afar!

*********

LiliBee and Grams on a bench. LiliBee and Grams, on the other hand, seemed to have more of a “sporting event” method, with lots of looking back and forth.

LiliBee and Grams on a bench. Maybe it was tennis?

LiliBee and Grams on a bench. Or basketball?

Sharing

LiliBee loves be involved in everything. She also loves to share. During the most recent “great playroom clean-up” LiliBee collected a couple of toys to sit in a chair with her.

First she shows us Cartman. First, she shared Cartman with me.

Then she shows us Pooh Bear. Then she shared Pooh Bear with me.

A kiss for Pooh Bear. Apparently, that was too much for Pooh and he needed a little reassurance.

Three in a chair. It was pretty cute.

Jokes

LiliBee is 19 months old… and she likes to tell knock-knock jokes. They go something like this:

Her: ‘Na ‘Na! (knock knock)

Me: Who’s there?

Her: Na Ba! (Nobody)

Me: Nobody who?

Her: Bah! Dah!

I have no idea what that last part is, but she’s very proud of it. We go through this several times a day. She gets her love of knock-knock jokes from her big sister, whose jokes make only slightly more sense.
