Week 10

Lily is gearing up for a growth spurt, so this week's update had to wait until Lily was asleep. Really asleep, not that fake-out 'I will only sleep while you hold me' sleep.
It was a quiet week here at Casa Wilkosz. Lily is slowly warming to the idea of her baby swing, but only for a few minutes at a time. She is enthralled by the mobile over her crib, it is one of the only things that will calm her down on fussy days. (YAAY Brenda for sending us the Magic Mobile!)
We babysat one-year-old Max for our friends Alexis and Matt on Sunday. Two things -
1)Toddlers are much heavier than Lily and
2)We are not used to fast-moving mobile babies. That said, we LOVED playing with him! Next year wil be even more fun!
What we've learned this week:
More Baby Myths Exploded-There are so many pictures and advertisements out there showing angelic, perfectly composed sleeping babies, with their sweet little cherubic faces hinting at dreams of sugarplums and kitens... my daughter falls asleep looking like a wino on a bus station bench.

Lily Nods Out

Sweet, ain't she?

Whoa... Lily makes contact with the alien baby in the mirror.
MeetMyMonkey

This is Lily's monkey, her favorite toy (most of the time).

Hello, Monkey!

Lily has a love/hate relationship with the monkey.

Love Monkey!

Actually, it's a bit more complex than Love/Hate...

Cheeky Monkey!

"Did you say what I think you said?"

Sassy Monkey...

"Don't make me angry... You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."

Mad Monkey!!!

"Don't talk to me!!!"

No Monkey.

"No PIctures! I'm talking to the Giraffe!"
