Christmas Wish List

People have started asking what Lily wants for christmas. So stealing an idea from our friend I have made an amazon wish list. It's is just ideas of things that would be useful for Lily. You don't have to buy the things online but can if you want to. They don't have to be the exact items on the wishlist either- remember they are just ideas of things she would like.  Here is the link to the wish list. http://amzn.com/w/1OK8A6VGL72DM

Other things Lily would want or need would be hooded towels- but we would prefer the toddler sized ones so she can keep using them as she grows. Clothes are always nice- and fun to shop for! Please buy clothes that are 9 months or larger (and remember seasons- 18 month sized clothes need to be Fall or Winter wear :) and 12 month can be Fall or Summer). She would love a playmat that she can kick- one that makes noise or does something when she kicks it. And she would defintiely love a jumper- one that we can hang on the door frame or one that stands alone.

I wish that we could be home with you all for Christmas but that is not going to work. I can't imagine traveling with Lily anyway. We had holiday pictures taken this weekend and will get them on November 30th. Some of them turned out really well. Lily was a little angel as usual but it really wore her out.

Back to Work

I have been back at work for 2 weeks now. Though this past week was the first one back on consults- back full time so to speak. Lily is settling into daycare. Her "teacher" seems to really like her. And she does not seem to mind going. She is doing okay waking up early and getting rushed out of the house. But she does not nap much there- too much going on I guess. So for most of the week when I got her home she was crabby and clingy. Thursday and Friday she seem to figure out how to nap there and she was a much happier baby at night. Happier baby made for a happier Mommy as well. I miss her so much during the day that I don't like to let go of her at night.
Work is going well. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I remember now that I do enjoy my job. If I could only strap Lily to my chest in one of those carrier things and take her with me life would be perfect. :)  Too many germs around for that to be possible. Below are a few pictures from the last couple weeks. There aren't very many because I have been taking less. I need to fix that.
