Lily is finally starting to "wake up" - as in, spending more time awake and alert. At times, it even seems like she is "corresponding" (as Mimi put it) meaning making noises more deliberately and responding to stimuli.
She also had her first graduation....into "1" diapers (from Newborns). Ah, where does the time go?
She is definitely looking forward to her first Thanksgiving. We will be heading to her cousin's house in Pennsylvania, where she can hang out with cousin Hannah and doggie-cousins Mangus and Louis.
Every once in a while, when the weather is nice, we get the family together and go for a walk through the neighborhood. Samson gets to play pack leader - he loves walking out in front, head and tail held high in pride. We have the standard "stroller" for Lily to ride in (see below) but Jess also has an "Ergo-Baby" which is essentially a kangaroo pouch for humans. It's great for her, cause she has hands free, and great for Lily because she is all snuggled up with mama.
Weather has been a bit of a challenge lately, though - either bitterly (and unseasonally) cold or raining and we can't get out as much as we'd like. Lily knows no difference...Samson, however, is not so fun when he doesn't get his exercise!!
We have many of these, because Lily likes to sleep during most of the day (or at least, when she's not eating). The problem is, she likes to be awake during most of the night!! I'd love to get more pics of her awake with eyes open, but we are both too delirious at 3am to grab the camera!! We did get this one of a few days ago, just after a bath...
I read that this confusion of nights and days only lasts a few weeks. Hopefully, we make it!
