Lily had a Roman dress up day this week and looked really sweet. She was supposed to be a goddess but wasn’t keen on any of the white dresses and instead picked this black one. Megan got changed after school that same day and since she had something aggravating her neck, I put her hair up for her. I couldn’t get over just how grown up she looked.

Happy 7th Birthday Lily!

March 5, 2015 by Bel 4 Comments

This was my first glimpse of Lily May Smith, on 10th October 2007.

Born on March 5th, 2008, Lily turns 7 today and I honestly can’t believe it!

Despite the fact I was huge while pregnant, Lily was born smaller than Megan. Like the terrible mother I am, I don’t remember exactly how much she weighed or at what time she was born, but I made the effort to find her red book and look it up – her weight at least. Born around 4pm and weighing 6lb 15oz, Lily May Smith was my second baby girl to be born. For the first year of her life, she was an awful child. She cried too much, she was grumpy and miserable, but I loved her regardless. She hated affection, shied away from kisses and literally scratched at you when you hugged her. However I vowed that I would give her all the love in the world, whether she wanted it or not.

Lily is now one of the most loving children I have ever met. Her hugs can literally turn a bad mood, good again. She is funny and kind, with a smile that makes anger melt away. Though she has sometimes taken a back-burner to Megan (since Megan’s incredibly smart and mature), Lily is amazing. I couldn’t ask for two nicer children and I’m so glad that Lily is one of them.

Happy 7th birthday, Lily May Smith! Here’s to many many more!
