Talk Tonight

Lily is happy to report that her teeth have been given a clean bill of health. She ventured to the dentist for the first time, and was on her best behavior, allowing the dental hygienist to check each of her teeth and clean them with orange toothpaste. We were a little concerned about this first visit but it helped that we read a book about going to the dentist in advance, Lily saw Mom getting a check-up, and also promises of twizzlers and lollipops afterwards - I'm sure the dentist appreciates that last one. Actually we are not even sure that we needed to make such promises as Lily has begun to take visits to the pediatrician and dentist very seriously, and is so proud of herself and talks for days about how she was a good girl. While Lily and Mom were at the dentist, Jack enjoyed some time with Grandma Gail. On Friday, Lily went to school and loved participating in karate - she has been showing us her karate chops. She also does yoga on a regular basis and was showing us some moves the other day - downward dog maybe??

We kept busy over the weekend by taking a trip to the Baltimore aquarium, Jack's first visit. Every time we visit Lily notices new creatures and can stand for long periods of time just staring into the tanks - she especially likes the sharks, and of course the dolphin show. On Sunday, we visited with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom, and a slew of relatives including Great Yellow Grandma, Great Uncle Chris in from KY, Great Aunt Jenny, Great Uncle Carlton, and cousins Alex, Valerie, Bill, and baby Liam who is only 9 days older than Jack - we suspect they will become pals in the coming months, for now no real interest. Jack is babbling quite a bit these days, and continues to be very smiley and happy. He continues to eat between 6-7 ounces every three hours. Mom is working on getting him on a nap schedule, he is consistently taking about an hour nap each morning in his crib about an hour and a half or two after he wakes up, but he has yet to nap in the afternoon at a consistent time, he just dozes off and on. Tonight he went to bed around 8:30, and hopefully will sleep until around 8:00 tomorrow - if only we could get Lily to sleep that late! :)

Lily and Jack want to send out birthday hugs and kisses to Uncle Stan who is celebrating his birthday tomorrow!!

Enjoy the pics!
