Lily on the Phone

Lily is fascinated with telephones. She loves pressing the buttons to hear the different beeps or change the ringer style. She will also hold it up to her ear (or the general vicinity) and say "Oh!" for "Hello." (Although sometimes it sounds more like "doh" or "loh.")

If the real telephone happens to ring, she gets very excited, and answers whatever is at hand, which is actually quite often her own hand. Lily has also been seen talking on the TV remote. We like to pretend the phone is ringing just to see how creative she can be. Our favorite was when she answered one of her stuffed dogs by saying, "Loh, dog-dog!"
