30,000 Pounds of Bananas

A nice quiet three day weekend is in the books. We are back in the swing of things after the holidays and Lily is back to her routine. Back to work and school tomorrow. Not much new to report. We spent most of the weekend around here - running errands, avoiding the bitter cold weather (winter appears to be making an apperance). We had a really bad wind storm on Saturday night - part of our neighbors roof blew off and it was banging away the whole night ... Lil slept through the whole thing. On Sunday night Grandma Phyllis and Grandpa Maurice came over for dinner and got to spend some q.t. with Lil.

On the development front, I definitely concur with Marcy's description of Lil's vocab. We have added a few new things this week -- she knows what a fork is, when you say can I have a kiss she blows you a kiss and she can identify dogs other than Gypsy as dogs. On the eating front, she is becoming a bit fussier ... It seems the only sure fire winner now is Trader Joe's French Toast and bananas. We keep trying to expand her horizons and they keep shrinking ... and fluctuating from day to day. Some days she likes chicken, other days, not so much. Last night she kept trying to steal pasta with pesto and chicken off Marcy's plate. It would have been a scene if Marcy had not be willing to share :)

That is all for now. If this week's post looks different it is because we are trying some new technology ... we will see how the test run goes.
