JJ's visit

JJ came in yesterday and will be with us until Sunday. She came with this new hat for Lilly and unlike the other hat we got her, this one fits! It's snug and will keep the sun shielded from her face. We've had a good day so far, I made chicken salad for dinner, JJ's played and fed Lilly. And we both have just enjoyed listening to Lilly's babbling and cooing. She's smiling a lot more, and can now smile in response to a smile given to her, so I like doing that.

For the afternoon, Lilly just didn't want to get up from her 1PM nap. She woke up crying and seemingly hungry. I fed her but she fell asleep on the breast. I moved her around. I burped her. She would wake up, suck some more, and then fall back asleep. So I moved her some more. She would open her eyes, and then they would slowly fall close, and her head would move back, and she just wanted to sleep. It was funny, Lilly just didn't want to get up. She would smile as she went back to sleep. And while she got off schedule and didn't eat as much as she should have, it did give JJ a perfect chance to cut Lilly's nails. So when the eyelids shut, the fingernails are trimmed. But she's up now (it's 5:25, she got up at 4) and just enjoying the jungle gym mat. She's definitely refreshed from her long afternoon nap!
