She's 8 Today...

Well it is hard to believe but Lillian turned 8 today. The 8 years seem to have flown by. She is my firstborn daughter. Truth be told I wasn't sure I wanted girls. I would have been fine with all boys. I love sports and would have spent all my time at sporting events and doing boy things but God had other plans. When I found out I was pregnant I was sure it was a boy. My mother and everyone thought it was a girl. What did they know? Right!?! My mother said she knew it was a girl the second she saw my face after the ultrasound. She said I looked like I was in shock. I was very much! I wouldn't even buy pink for her! But she won me over when she came into the world and only had eyes for me! I had never felt so special! So to introduce you to my Lillian a little bit I decided in honor of her 8th birthday to give you 8 fun facts about her!


8 Fun Facts About Lillian:


1.Lillian was born on Tuesday, October 2,2001 at 12:29p.m.She weighed 6pds.90z. and was 19 1/2 inches long.


2.Lillian's full name is Lillian Michelle B. Lillian was my maternal great-grandmother's name and Michelle is Tony's sisters name who passed away a day after being born. We were looking for a name that not everybody had and could not agree on one. I finally asked my dad my great-grandmother's name on his side of the family and when he said Lillian I knew that would be her name.


3.She is both a little sister and a big sister. She is a sweet sister and very helpful. She is her little sister's best friend. How her brother feels about her is another few posts in itself!


4.She loves to draw. She is the only one of my kids who ever drew on the walls. That should have a warning sign right there. She likes to draw pictures of her family, hearts, rainbows, and animals. She likes color and lots of it!


5. She loves DOGS!!! She loves real dogs, stuffed animal dogs, Littlest Pet Shop dogs, and just about any dog. She got a poodle for her 5th birthday and his name is Tucker. She decided she wanted a puppy for her birthday and got a poodle magazine and carried it around for 2 months so she could show everyone the poodle she wanted. I told you she loves dogs.


6.She has never played with a baby doll or a Barbie doll in her life. I tried but she would have nothing to do with one. I just knew she would because I loved baby dolls and Barbie but nope not her. She only loved Littlest Pet Shop. Go figure.


7.She is a bow wearing, earring wearing, necklace wearing, fingernail polish wearing sports nut. She plays soccer and softball and has asked to play basketball this year. She can outrun just about any boy. She proved it last year when her brother's baseball had to run laps and the coach let her run and she beat them all!!! They were 12 and under!! She loves to run what can I say!

8.She loves the Lord. She loves going to church and asks everyday how many more days till church. She worships the Lord so sweetly. I watched one night during VBS her worship the Lord and I couldn't stop crying at how sweet it was.
