More Christmas in IL (Christmas Eve)

(Spreading "Reindeer Food" )
On Christmas Eve, we went to Catlin to celebrate Christmas with Granny and Gramps and the Waltzer/Watson crew! Above, Lily is NOT enjoying watching Eddy (the dog) get groomed.

Lily loved Aunt Julie

...and the new Belle doll from Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Terry!


The car ride to Catlin was extra fun for Lily with Grandma right beside her to keep her entertained!

Their Own Language

Grandma and Grandpa were so nice to come down and stay with Lily while Jeremy and I went to a friends lakehouse for the weekend! As you can tell, Grandma and Lily have their own language...

What is she doing??? :)

We Are REALLY Excited Today.

So, I have decided to never post again about Lily Mae's sleeping successes or failures. A few days ago, I wrote about how wonderfully things were going - she was sleeping 11 hrs at night and napping great! Bad idea. That very night everything changed. But like I said, I am not sharing details anymore....

Lets just say we have been TIRED.

Luckily, we are revived. This is the sunniest, warmest day! We have the windows cracked (and the heat on ;), and have been admiring the daffodils that are poking up in the woods. Jeremy, Lily, and I went on a walk and breathed the sharp, fresh air deeply, and are ready to take on the world again.

As you can see from the video below, the baby is thriving. Is that the right word? ;)
