February fun
Update: I added a few new videos of little miss Lillian in the videos section. Check them out.
Life has been going pretty darn well lately. Both Khale and I are having an easier semester which gives us quite a bit more time to spend with each other, thus making us happier all around. It's also given me more time to bake, making us pudgy all around. :)
Last weekend Khale and I went to the Harvard Law Couples Association annual Sir Thomas Moore dinner. He's a Harvard Law alumni who continually donates money to the couples association so they can put on a formal dinner because when he was a student there wasn't anything like that available for the Harvard Law couples. It was really fun. Although I will admit that I was a little distracted and kept checking my phone for missed calls because we had hired Lil's first non-grandparent babysitter to take care of her. Luckily, Lil loves strangers and she's actually better behaved when I'm not around so it all went really well. I just don't like leaving my little baby.
I also had a birthday, exactly one week ago. It was really nice and relaxing. Khale gave me a beautiful journey diamond necklace and photo album and then we went out for lunch at Ruby Tuesday. We also did a little shopping at the mall which was really fun. Then we came home, had dinner and watched Vanilla Sky. I've decided that next year we either need to have a bunch of our friends over or I need to make a much tinier cake. It took Khale and I quite a bit of determination to finish that thing off but we finally did the other day.
Wednesday my friend Chelsi, Lil and I had a little girls date. We went to lunch and then shopped/browsed around the mall for a while. It was really fun. Normally when we get together Khale and Eric are part of the fun but as much as we love our boys, it was nice to have some girl time. Chelsi is due to have a baby any day now so we've been getting excited about having little play dates with our babies. Lil loves Chelsi...she was the first person besides Khale and I to get a baby smooch from Lil.
Speaking of which, Lily is a little flirt. I took her to the grocery store yesterday and she would make faces at the guys walking around (I love how the only time you see a bunch of guys at the grocery store is on Valentines Day) until they looked at her and then she would break out her cutest smiles and baby noises. She especially loved a one-year old little boy we ran across; she pulled out all the stops, making the other baby completely unable to do anything but stare at her.
Our Valentines Day was pretty nice. Khale made me the most delicious dinner I've had in a long time which we ate entirely by candlelight. I'm a huge fan of it whenever he cooks because he always makes really yummy food.
So yep, that's what we've all been up to. I'll leave you with photos of Lil and for those of you who love Lost - I know who the Oceanic 6 are...you can ask me but after I tell you'll wish you hadn't.
Her newest way to express herself
Every so often she'll be sitting the floor and reading this book to herself when she'll start busting up laughing. For some reason it's just the most hilarious book in the apartment.
Climbing the Dad is another one of her favorites
Newest favorite thing to do - crawl under chairs. This one would be her most impressive one to date; her highchair.

Thanks for making my Friday night complete. I just loved watching all the videos. It is fun to see Lillian beginning to crawl on her knees!!! Thanks so very much.
Love,
Mom
Well, it's 4:30 am and we're about to go get on our plane to Cancun but I had to say thanks for the lovely update and the pictures and videos of Lily. She continues to be the most brilliant and beautiful little girl in the world! Give her some big grandma smooches, please!
"the most hilarious book in the apartment" lol
Hey Sarah Beara,
The Harvard Law couples' night out sounds like so much fun. And even though I know it's hard to leave Lily with a babysitter, I think it's important to get out with just the hubby sometimes! Matt and I have yet to go on a date by ourselves since Isaac was born, but I'm planning on doing it really soon.
