Apples + Oranjes

It was a busy week with many fun activities. Lily has recovered from her cold but still has a little bit of congestion. She is sleeping and eating well so there is no cause for concern ... just a little nose gunk to clean up. She HATES having her nose wiped so we have decided to just let her walk around with runny nose stuff on her face. Ok, we do wipe it off but she is not happy about it.

Lil's diet is progressing and we have now moved on to stage two jars of food -- exciting blends of gross mixes like apple-banana, apples and pears, guava and sweet potatoes and apples and chicken and prunes and pears -- the last three being mixes we will not be trying anytime soon. Lily seems to like them but they are gross.

Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis came over for dinner on Friday fresh from their trip to Costa Rica. They had some cute gifts for Lily from their visit and we had a nice dinner. Lily had a chance to catch up and tell her Grandparents all about her last couple of weeks. She showed off all her new tricks like sitting up, talking in complete sentences and doing hand stands. Well only the first one but the second two were not for a lack of trying.

We got to spend some time with Marcy's family over the weekend as Aunt Kelly was in visiting from the land of Rice a Roni for the weekend. The Easter bunny visited early and Lily had quite a haul of cute clothes, stuffed animals and cute books.

That's all for now. More to come next week as baby-like antics are sure to continue.

Lastly, Lily's Great Grandpa, Poppa Syd, had some surgery last week on his ticker and we all want to wish him well and let him know that we are thinking of him.

Playing with Easter Eggs with Mom, Grandma Gail and Aunt Kelly.

Getting up close with the egg dye. She was very grabby but Mom made sure that all disasters were averted.

The Easter basket had a cute little swimsuit ...
