Happy Thanksgiving!

The day before Thanksgiving, Ethan and I were able to join Lily at daycare for a Thanksgiving lunch. The teachers made Indian headdresses for all of the kids. As you can imagine, it stayed on for about 1.2 seconds...barely long enough for me to take a picture (see above).

On Thanksgiving, we headed to Baltimore to spend the day with Lily's Uncle Luke and Aunt Michaela, plus a couple of their friends. We all pitched in to make a fabulous meal while Lily got to spend some quality time strolling the neighborhood with Aunt Michaela. We had a great time and are very thankful that we got to spend the holiday with family!

Sick Day

Lily has been a very healthy baby, with only one ear infection and a couple of minor colds under her belt...until this weekend. Poor thing caught a nasty bug and was feverish, pukey and generally unhappy all weekend. I thought she was on the road to recovery on Saturday afternoon, but her fever spiked Saturday night. We spent the better part of the early morning hours rocking her and holding her. She was a sad, sad sight.

On Sunday, she stayed in her pajamas all day, was extra cuddly and just wanted to sit in mom or dad's lap and snooze. As you can see in the photo, she and Ethan also spent some quality time watching Sesame Street.

I am happy to report that she got a great night's sleep last night and woke up this morning with no fever. She is home with Ethan today so she can rest but I think she's on the mend, just in time for Thanksgiving.

What a Difference a Year Makes

Lily got together with a couple of her baby friends on Sunday and I am just amazed at how big and active they all are...especially compared to last year at this time...

Number Nine

Last night, I spied tooth number NINE popping out of Lily's gum. That would explain the recent fussiness...and her new found love for frozen teething toys (see above). She scoots around the house with it hanging out of her mouth like a dog with a bone. Nine teeth down, only 11 more to go!
