Autumn in New York

Well we have returned from an exciting weekend in New York. Lily did great. She slept the whole way up and the whole way back. She also, as per our arrangement (under which she sleeps the night on my feeding nights in exchange for more allowance in a few years), slept the night both Friday and Saturday.

Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of "baby as urban accessory pictures" becase our camera was lodged under the stroller -- Cousin Em has some pictures out and about that she needs to forward to us. We used the jogging stroller this weekend and it was great - the Mac3 handled the streets with ease.

On Sunday we stopped by to see Lily's Great Aunt Paula and had a great breakfast with her. Unfortunately, the car was packed to the gills -- let's just say Marcy packed just about everything we could need for this trip ... even if the trip had been about three weeks longer :) -- and the camera bag was packed away behind everything else. She has some non-digital pics so if we get copies we will be sure to add them.

Lily is eating and growing like crazy. She broke a new sleep record last night -- from 10:30 to 8:30 straight ... let's keep our fingers crossed that this happens again. Enjoy tonight's pictures. Lily's first Christmas and her big trip to Florida are coming up. Stay tuned.

Another neat gift from Donna and Stephen.

"I am glad to be back in my own bouncy seat."

Today was the first really cold day of fall/winter. Lily had to really bundle up.
