Well, I'm sure Mom (aka Mary Agnes) is getting a good belly laugh at what Lily has started to call me. Yes, you guessed it...Lily has started calling me TJ! It began right after we got back from our family vacation. I can only assume Lily heard all her aunts and uncles call me TJ and thought...if it works for them why not for me?!
Obviously, this is not something I want to encourage...but it is kind of funny. Last weekend we were visiting Tony's mom when Lily called to me. Suzy looked at me and said, "Um, did she just call you TJ?" I said, "She sure did" and we both started to laugh!
The time it is hardest for me to keep a straight face is when Lily is in her highchair and I'm in the kitchen and she calls to me. It starts off, "TJ, TJ". If I don't respond Lily gets louder and more insistent. TJ becomes Tee Jay and then TEE JAY! TEE JAY! TEE JAY!!!
Now, I'll admit that I've called myself Aunt T to Lily more than once but I can assure you I've never called myself TJ. I'll just keep calling myself Mommy and I'm sure this phase will pass. Right?!? I wonder if that's what my mother thought, too!
Here are a few recent pictures of our little cutie and her crazy cousin Christina:
Daddy, I think Christina's lost it...and I don't just mean her front teeth!
Is this picture upside down or is Christina?
Christina you crack me up! Thanks for coming over to play!!
See what happens when I help with the laundry? It winds up on my head!

We can't wait to hear what Lily calls you when she's fifteen!

Laura's right. I'd just be grateful she doesn't call you a word with only four letters in it!

Hi T!
Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog, I look forward to your new posts, and Lily's pics are so sweet. Take it from the parent of a 6th grader and a 2nd grader, they sure grow FAST! I don't think I need to mention that you should treasure every moment, it looks like you already are!
Love, little pammy from across the street (and now, across the country!)
