Lily's Milk

Since Maya's been born, I've logged many, many, many hours nursing. Lily finds it fascinating that Maya drinks "Mommy's milk" and has decided that her plethora of baby dolls should be drinking "Lily's milk." I find it fascinating that Lily's milk comes from her belly button and that its milk if Lily drinks milk and water if Lily drinks water. And Daddys don't have milk cause that's so silly. Here's a pic of her nursing Marisol.

Fall in Michigan

Although I loathe the end of summer (temp drops, shorter days, back to work), I do love fall in Michigan. There's just something about crisp days filled with cider mills, pumpkin patches, farms, and colored leaves that make me happy. So far this fall, I've been on two wagon rides, tromped through two pumpkin patches, picked 4 pumpkins, had two different kinds of cider and doughnuts, and have dressed the girls in their first matching outfits and its not even the end of October!

One Month Old!

I can't believe littlest is one month old already. I think when Lily was born, that first month was one of the longest of my life. Now that we're old pros at this parenting gig this past month has flown by. Maya is a pretty chill baby who loves her sleep (so far anyway, knock on wood!). Lily loves being a big sister and can't get enough kisses and pats to Maya's head.

Last Night...

Last night was, um, interesting. Lily didn't nap at preschool yesterday so we knew she'd most likely sleep like crap. Maya is a week old so we knew she'd most likely sleep like crap. When Lily and Maya sleep like crap Husband and I sleep like crap. My night went like this...

7:30 Lily asleep
8:00 Lily awake, pooped in her pull-up
8:15 Lily back asleep
7:30 Maya asleep

Butts

So along with potty training comes copious amounts of butt talk. Lily, having been potty trained for a few months, has become more and more interested in not only her own butt, but in Husband's and my butts as well. She talks about her front butt and how it needs to be wiped "down" and her back butt, which needs to be wiped "up". Yesterday she and Husband accompanied me to my OB appointment. After the visit was over, Lily announced she needed to use the potty, so Husband took her in. The nurse and I waited outside, chatting, catching snippets of the conver going on inside the bathroom. Husband cheering for Lily's pee. Lily saying "I wipe DOWN!". Husband saying he has to go pee. Lily announcing loudly, "Daddy! You have a SWINGING BUTT!!!" The nurse and I giggling like two schoolgirls outside the bathroom door.

Dear Woman at the Zoo,

Yep, you're just so f-ing funny when you flash your huge yellow teeth at me and say "Big lunch?" as I'm walking by you while 37 weeks pregnant. So funny.
