New Lilly Items!

So yesterday it seemed like it was a day of firsts for Lilly! She really mastered the art and balance of sitting up, so we plopped her on the ground, on her jungle gym mat, and she sat up, and reached for items, marveling at this whole new perspective. She also played with a set of Winnie the Pooh blocks, all while sitting up. She and Mark had a great time, though I don't know who was more excited about tumbling the blocks over, her or Mark. If I had to guess it would have been Mark. We spelled her name out with the blocks. And she only tried to put two blocks, out of many, in her mouth. What an accomplishment!

And last night we left her with a new babysitter - granted Lilly was already asleep, and didn't awake during any of Liz's stay at the house - while Mark and I grabbed dinner with two of our friends. It was a great date, I finished up my antibiotics and prednisone, so I had two delicious glasses of Russian River Chardonnay (2007). Mark had two Pimm's Cups. Delicious.

And Lilly is enamored with screens, anything that flashes. She sees my computer - she jumps and gets all excited. Mark holds her while checking his blackberry her face is all aglow with the newness of the small image. I'm worried that we're raising a technology addict or at the very least overstimulating her brain with these new and fast images.
