This explains my craving...

Before I was pregnant with Lily, I really disliked baking. Or rather, I never did it, so I didn't know if I liked it or not. So, it was a very odd craving for me when I got pregnant with her to want baked goods. And more importantly, I had to bake them. That was when I first learned how to make chocolate chip cookies, so either my love for baking came from her in-utero, or it rubbed off on her while she was growing in my tummy.


This night was particularly fun because I had several favorite parts...

First, while we were mixing the ingredients, Lily noticed that I kept looking at my recipe, so she started checking it too. My favorite was when she said we needed milk and juice in the cookie dough!

Second, I love our matching aprons thanks to Grandma Nona...

Third, halfway through making the cookies, Lily turned to me and spontaneously said, "I love you, Mommy!" And that just melted my heart.
