The Girl From Ipanema

Lily is fast asleep as we had a busy travel day back from Florida. We started out the day early this morning with a viewing of Sesame Street, a trip to Bubbie's neighborhood park and then a bumpy flight home. We all had a great time this past week on vacation and fun spending time with Bubbie, Donna, Stephen, Emilie, Stephanie and Poppa Syd and Grandma Essie. Lily had lots of people to play with and spent some real quality time in the pool and at the beach. She is exhausted (as are we) but ready to go back to school (and work) tomorrow.

While in Florida, Lily really expanded her vocabulary and is talking up a storm. She is really learning to put words and strings of words together. I am sure paragraphs are just around the corner. Lily loved the warm weather and playing in the water. It was tough to pull her away for meals and naps!

We are back to our regular schedule of events now ... enjoy the pictures and video.


Making herself comfortable on the plane. This was Lil's first flight with her own seat (paid for) and she made the most of it. She watched movies and ate lots of Kix.

Saying goodbye to Cousin Em this morning.

And a little video of Lil jumping in the pool. Somehow we managed not to take any pictures with Uncle Stephen again - probably because he is always helping draw Lil's attention to the camera!
