Lots of learning to do...

Lily had playgroup this week at Isobel's house. She loved Izzy's books! Tomorrow will be playgroup at Miss LaRain's house!

I loved Grover as a kid and I'm hoping Lily will love him just as much. Grover was with me when I got tubes in my ears as a little girl. My Dad bought him for me so I wouldn't be so scared.
I know the "guy" to love is Elmo, but I didn't not grow up with Elmo, he is foreign to me, it's all about Grover! And when did Snuffalufagus become a real character and not in Big Bird's imagination? I have lots of new things to learn as a parent.

MNO

Friday and Saturday was MNO (Moms Night Out). Friday was a gathering with friend, LaRain and her friends. It was a nice, laid back, pot luck. Saturday night was dinner and a movie with my Tuesday Playgroup Mommy friends. Thanks girls for two nights of fun...AND...Thank you David for watching Lily this weekend! You rock!

Lily at two months

And today...

I put Lily in her bouncer seat this morning so I could make the bed. I couldn't believe how big she is in the bouncer! It's been a few weeks since she's been hanging out in the bouncer. She actually sits up now. *sniff* My little girl is getting so big!

Hanging Out on a Saturday

It's Saturday morning. I have not taken a shower yet. I will venture into the cleaning apparatus once Lily takes her morning nap in an hour or so. I love Saturdays that are not rushed. David and I do have plans to get stuff done around the house, but we are taking the morning to just hang out for a few.

Picture of "the kids" from a couple of days ago. I normally don't let Maya on the couch, but couldn't resist the picture.

Last night I hung out with some Mommy friends. It was a pot-luck gathering at a friend's house. It was nice and laid back. Tonight I get to hang out with more Mommy friends for dinner and a movie. A real Mom's Night Out! Thank you David for watching Lily for two nights for me!! I owe you!

New Foods and Adventures in the Front Yard

Every so often, I introduce a new food to Lily. So far she has ventured into the world of rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas and most recently pears. Normally we still use a small jar (size 1) and Lily will eat about 1/2 of a jar a day. When given pears, she ate the whole jar! Go Lily!

We have community mailboxes in my neighborhood, so every day or two, we trek out to the mailboxes to pick up our mail. This was a new concept to me when I moved to Colorado and saw these mailboxes. I grew up in Indiana, and normally most people have their own mailbox at the end of their driveway. Not sure why community mailboxes are used here, but they are quite common. Anyway...
On our way to get the mail, we let Lily check out our apple tree in the front yard. We think within a month or so, we will get to pick some apples. I love apples as long as they are not baked. Unfortunately I do not like apple pie - I know, not American. However, I plan to use some of these apples in salads and whatnot.
