L.ily Minerva's Namesake
My grandmother, Minerva Northcutt, was a precious woman. She's been gone almost3 years now, and I still really miss her. She was gentle, generous, sweet, clever (funny!), loved ice cream and playing the piano. She died shortly after Arch & I were married, and I tend to think she was waiting until after our wedding to go see Jesus. Perhaps my wishes are biasing me, but I do think that my daughter, Lily Minerva, has some inherited "Minerva" characteristics, already obvious by her early age of 12 months 1 week. She loves ice cream, and loves to eat in general, she's funny, brilliant (really, I'm not biased), loves music, personable, good-natured and easy-going. The latest clincher that we named her appropriately, however, was the below picture of Lily M. She had her cup of milk, and asked for Mama's water, too. So she got her own water. And apparently, she, like her great-grandmother, likes to have multiple drinks with her meal. Maybe this is only funny to other Minerva-descendants, but this is such a classic "Minerva-ism", I had to share.

Happy Birthday Lily!
For Lily's first birthday, her Grammy & Pop and Aunt Hope all came to Ann Arbor to celebrate with her! She had her first legal chocolate (she did sneak some candy at Aunt Melissa's at Christmas), gave lots of smiles, and opened lots of fun gifts! Thanks, everyone! She even got to Skype with her Aunt Anna in Vietnam, who got to see waves and the "I love you" sign from Lily!
Stats: Lily is:
- Walking across rooms, but still crawling if she's not feeling adventurous.
- Eating lots of yummy foods, especially bananas, raisens, blueberries & raspberries and NOT spinach!
- Talking up a storm, saying things like "ba ba ba" and "bwuh", and "da da da" (the latter is while pointing at her dad, so I think that one counts!)
- Chasing the dog
- She likes to sweep (see recent videos), do laundry (especially sorting socks and diapers), and blow her nose.
What fun our little girl is! Thanks to all who are virtually celebrating with us! Praise God for the blessing of this child of His.
