Bottle of Blues

Marcy, Emilie and Lily met Aunt Tracy and her friend Jessica and eight week old son Hunter at Tyson's Corner Mall today for lunch. I hear that a good time was had by all. Lily and Hunter got apparently got along well and slept through each other's company.

The excitement of the afternoon occurred later when Lily was in the mall and ready for her three o'clock feeding. Marcy went to warm the bottle and lo' and behold it was all put together but without a nipple. You see, we lost one nipple but I made all the bottles last night but failed to put on a replacement nipple. So, Marcy picked the one of seven bottles that did not have nipple ... what are the odds? I know, 1 in 7. Anyway, some quick thinking, a trip to the CVS resulted in a replacement bottle, a bottle cleaner and some Palmolive. A high temperature washing in the ladies' lounge of the Nordstrom and Lily was in business. To top off the incident, Emilie, who just graduated from law school and was waiting with Lily in the lounge while Marcy and Tracy went for a bottle, was offered a job as someone's nanny. I think she is considering it.

On to the photographs ...


Wow, look at all these clothes at Nordstrom.
