Back to Work

I've successfully completed a whole week back at work. As much as I miss my baby, it is nice to be back. I feel so much more productive at work. When I was at home (when the baby wasn't crying or pooping) I didn't do much. I could always think of something better to do than clean the living room, or laundry, or the dishes.

But now that I'm back at work, I don't have to make up excuses for why I didn't do the laundry or the dishes. Now my excuse is "Because I was earning money, that's why". I can't even blame Jesus for not doing it this week, though, because he's working all week. Which also means that we have to drop Lily off at somebodys house for the day. Today was my dad's turn to play with her all day, and tomorrow it'll be my fabulous aunt who agreed to watch her a few days this week. I haven't quite worked out the timing of dropping her off and then getting to work. I was 15 minutes early to work this morning. I've never been there that early! It's amazing what a couple minutes earlier does to traffic! But it was kind of nice to be able to leave a couple minutes early. It helps with traffic on that end too. Tomorrow is Jesus' turn to drop off Lily, so maybe my timing will be a little better tomorrow.

Halloween

For Halloween, we dressed Lily up as a lobster. I wanted to be a chef, but we decided it would be a little morbid. So I was a lobster fisherman. Jesus dressed up as Shaggy from Scooby Doo. We were happily surprised that Lily didn't mind the lobster outfit as much as we thought she would. (Our little secret is that this is picture number 8 or so. She wasn't so happy in the first 7.)

Lily and Daddy wandered the Harvest Festival at church. She fell asleep and he didnt even notice. We've decided that the cushiony front of the costume was a big help, it kept her head from flopping.


Jesus drew a pirate on his pumpkin and chisled off the top skin of the pumpkin.


Here's the finished product. It was pretty cool.


I call mine "Swine Flew":


It won 3rd place at the pumpkin contest at my work.

Talkie Talkie

I wish this picture wasn't washed out, it would have been so cute!


Tonight Lily was laying on the couch babbling away, so I thought I'd get a video of it because it was so cute and she was going on and on and on. This is what I got:

She still babbles a bit in the video, but not nearly as much as she was before the camera came into the picture. Oh well, she's still cute!

A Day in the Life of Liliana

When I wake up, I eat, then join Daddy watching the Disney Channel. I think I'm picking up his tv watching skills like a pro! Repeat after me "Just stare, it doesnt matter what's on, as long as you're staring at the tv you have an excuse to ignore Mommy".

Then after a couple hours of tv watching, Daddy puts me in my swing so I can take a nap while I'm swinging through the air. It's almost like flying, you should try it.

Then after I nap, Mommy wakes me up and makes me take pictures with her. I'm not really a fan of the little blue box that flashes and blinds me. So I try not to look.

But eventually she catches a picture of me looking. This is my "Bad Girl" pose. You like?

Then finally, it's off to the bouncy chair for a bit of bouncing and squirming. Shhh.. don't tell Mommy that I know how to do it myself. She thinks that she needs to continually bounce the chair. I just lay back and relax.

It really is tough being me. I scream, Mommy picks me up. I poop, Mommy changes my diaper. My favorite is when I'm hungry, Mommy sticks her boob in my face and all I have to do is lay around and she feeds me. Yep, it's rough being me!

6 Weeks Old Already?!?

I can't believe she's already 6 weeks old! Wasn't I just pregnant? Now my tiny little thing is almost 10 lbs and 23" long. She's grown 4" already! You'll have to excuse the bad quality of these pictures because since my laptop and camera are still fighting, I have to use the pictures off my cell phone.


Sleepy Girl



I love this picture, it's so cute! It's actually the picture I have as the wallpaper on my phone.

Lily's First Beach Trip

Lily's first Sunday at church. We decided that we needed to take this cute four generation picture. Aren't we cute?


Lily and Daddy taking a nekkid nap. Aren't they cute?

On Tuesday we decided that it was supposed to be a be-yoo-ty-ful day at the beach, and since we haven't really made it to the beach this year, we headed out. I finally convinced Jesus that he needed to take his shoes off and dip them in the water. It felt sooooo good! Lily didn't get to dip her toes. We thought it would be rather cruel to dip her toes in the icy water while she was sound asleep.

While we were walking along the water, we noticed this sea lion just out in the surf. We think it was trying to figure out why its (dead) buddy on the beach wouldn't come back and play. (I spared you the 14 pictures that Jesus thought we needed of its dead buddy)

What a cute family! Look, she's even awake!
