Texas Tot

Lily and I ventured to Houston, Texas to spend a week with my mom, et al and had a wonderful time! Why we went in July is beyond me, but we survived the heat and humidity unscathed. The first plane flight was a little......how should I say.....rough. Last row, full plane, crying, dirty diaper.....it couldn't have been any better! However, it was good to get a taste of what it could be like because the flight home was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. This portion of the trip entailed an empty seat, the realization there's a changing table in the bathroom, sleep and previously prepared bottles. It was a breeze!

Lily has grown so much and it was plainly evident this week. She is able to sit up on her own very well now and when she topples over (as long as it's not on a very hard surface, Nana) she just rolls and rolls and rolls. She's eating well and has grasped the concept of how to eat from a spoon instead of blowing in it. It's incredibly easy to make her smile and laugh which makes things that much more fun and entertaining. SHE'S SO LOVABLE!!!!
