A li'l more of Lily

Lily? Again? Seriously? I know, she's all I ever blog about. But perhaps this, too, shall pass.

In the meantime, a big fat update. Well, maybe not fat yet, but yesterday she weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz. That's a net gain of 28 oz in the 16 days since leaving the hospital, so evidently we're doing something right.

She seems to be a lazy feeder at times, but evidently not to her detriment. To ours, certainly, in terms of sleep, but she doesn't seem the least bit guilty about that.

We passed a wonderful milestone yesterday. We were busy making tomato sauce and preserving peaches, and Lily decided to holler heartily. We weathered it for a good hour without picking her up; eventually her mother caved, but it did prove our ability to let her yell without feeling the need to coddle her. Bring on the next few years!

Li'l monkey.


She's cute when she's quiet.



Lily got her first three-wheeler! While we are loathe to spend any big money on our girl, we decided we wanted a nice BOB stroller to chauffeur our princess around. We found a great used one with all the accessories at a good price.


She loves her stroller... except when it's not in motion.


"K fine, I'll be quiet for the photo, but I don't have to like it."


Oh, and by the way, Lily has a middle name now, although I must say she did very well without one. It's Joanna, in honour of her mother and her great-grandmother.
