The Brightest Smile in Town

Lily's first Thanksgiving was a hit. She was very happy to be with her family and to be the center of attention.

It has been a great week. Lily seems to have mastered the smile on command ... now she does it on purpose, not just because of gas. She is a smiling machine.

As important, she has also seemed to learn the joy of sleeping the entire night. Let's review how she did this week:

Sunday - up once
Monday - slept
Tuesday - slept
Wednesday - slept
Thursday - slept
Friday - slept most of the day so she was up once (this was understandable so we won't hold her wakefullness against her)
Saturday - her first sleep over at Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's and she slept the whole night.

Marcy and I were in Philadelphia last night for a wedding and Lily and Gypsy bunked with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom. They are on their way back here right now. We only called to check in once yesterday afternoon and then this morning. We heard that she did great and it was nice for us to have a guaranteed night of full sleep.

That is all for now. There may be other pictures on Marcy's camera so I will see what else there is to add later on.


Lily looking at the the Thanksgiving spread. She seems to have realized there is more to eat out than just formula.

Napping on Gramps.

The turkey seems to have knocked Lily out. She was forced to take an an after dinner nap with her husky dog blanket.

They are very close, Lily and her husky blanket.

A little tummy time.

Another snooze.

"This dog just won't leave me alone."

Getting ready to go home.

Getting ready to smile...

almost there ...

Ahhhh ... a smile for dad.

"That was a lot of work ... I am going to take another nap now."
