HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Ok, we should have asked Ali (good Ali) where to buy St. Patrick's Day clothes because this is all we could come up with. Sorry Ali! The clothes are both size 18 months...umm, she can barely fit in them. We have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday so we are excited to see her..progress. Yes, let's call it progress.

We had yummy shepherds pie and a Guinness! Lily had her first real potatoes too! She is not particularly fond of swallowing larger pieces of food but we are working on her. Its kind of funny to watch her because she gets this look on her face like...this is disgusting and you are disgusting. Practice, practice, practice!

Anyway, Lily's parents just got back from a lovely vacation with Aunt Cathy and Uncle Chip in Jamaica. It was completely relaxing but in the words of Natalie Cole..We missed you like crazy! (You being Lily..not you readers, we were fine without you.) Anyway, we are glad to be back and had a wonderful weekend reconnecting.

A special shout out to Grandma (Barbara) who worked extra hard to take care of Lily while we were away! Its really nice to know that she was well taken care of and we know if must have been hard on her. Although she still had time to chat with my relatives in upstate NY about Elliot Spitzer. Woah, crazy stuff.

Lily's hair is growing too! Which only means we can mess it up after bathes:

From St. Patty's Day

Lily is still a crawling machine and desperately wants to walk. Of course, doesn't realize that she doesn't have the mechanics completely perfected so tends to bang her head a lot. I am sure that all parents deal with this, if they don't, I don't want to hear about it since it will make me feel bad. Besides, her head is big enough that she can take the blow. And she is really tough..tougher than any other 9 mos and 2 week-old we know!

She loves the swing now too! Although she mostly likes looking at the kids and thinking I want to run around like them...See a video....
