Yup, I tried to keep up, but Lily is some seriously high maintenance right now. Know why? Because she's a baby! :-) So I've decided that one long entry each month is better than no entries for seven or eight weeks at a time because I'm so busy that the thought of sitting down to write all of this gives me hives. A little frazzled? You betcha. Don't get me wrong, I'm so very proud of our daughter, and I love her so much it hurts, but on days when i have a choice between spending my twelve free minutes either showering or typing this blog... I like bein' clean.
So let's get this show on the road. December was great fun all around. Jason's Dad came to visit, and meet Lily for the first time. He didn't like her.
KIDDING!!!! Of course he loves her - he's a wonderful guy, and she's the most adorable baby who ever lived. Not that I'm biased. Granddad even got to put in some quality babysitting time, as I dressed a show for the first time in a year. Yep, I was back at Lion King for one show, which was fun because it's the same show, but in a different theater. It's kind of like someone saying, 'Hey, I want you to cook me your favorite dinner... but we've completely rearranged your kitchen.'
And then I was back at Lion King for a few more shows. And some more daywork. And some more shows. And some more daywork. And then I took Lily to work with me. The Christmas season on Broadway is frustrating for Wardrobe Supervisors because all the people who normally cover sick days and vacations are working at Radio City Music Hall or How the Grinch Stole Christmas... the Musical. No really.
Lily has a blast coming to work with me, because she rarely has to play by herself for more than ten minutes at a time. She has her own playpen that lives in the wardrobe room (thank you, toys'r'us clearance sale!), and a set of toys that are only for when I'm at work. It's fun for me because taking her in to work for the day requires more than a diaper bag - we take a small (carry-on sized) rolling suitcase packed to the brim with diapers, food, extra clothes, and toys. So when we get on the commuter train, everyone assumes that we're tourists, and I'm traveling alone in The Big City with my tiny baby, so they're extra nice to us and offer to carry my bag up and down the stairs. I used to correct them, but people were so excited about doing their Good Samaritan good deed for the day, so I let them believe it. I don't want to harsh their mellow.
Christmas! Lily got tons of cool stuff, and ate tons of cool wrapping paper. Well she tried, but I'm pretty sure she didn't ingest too much. She's still at an age where the paper is just as cool as the gift, so in her mind, she got twice as many things!!! We cooked turkey and fixins' on Christmas Eve, and ordered pizza Christmas day. It was lovely.
New foods this month - peas, squash, plums, avocado, apples, banana, and green beans. Banana and avocado did NOT go over well, but she loves everything else.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Officially... Cutest hat ever.
More paper.... And cardboard! It's like Christmas! Oh, wait...
Is it me? Is it my color?
Yes. And yes. Absolutely adorable.
A book wrapped in paper?!? Best edible present ever!
The cardboard is for Lily to drool on... The cover art of Patrick Stewart is for MOMMY to drool on.
Lily, concerned she might inherit her mother's lack of stature, investigates calf extensions. Pink ones.
Merry Christmas everyone!
