Didn't want to wait too long to post again!

During hubby's baptism, Lily sat in my lap and watched with confused interest. Dad, fully clothed, was walking into a very large bath with another guy. "Dada, wawa! Dada, bass!" Wawa = water and bass = bath. Perfect soundtrack to the baptism!

As for Lily, her favorite new thing is to slowly, with careful enunciation say "One...time...[insert something she wants that she doesn't think we want to give her]" while holding up her index finger to punctuate. It's so funny it is difficult to say no to whatever it is she is seeking -- usually "boobie" or "cookie", neither of which I'm terribly inclined to give her.

I just noticed how long it had been since I updated last. Well, technically I updated about 30 seconds ago, but this will not do. I maintain a Livejournal as well (username greyseal), so I think I've been posting things there. I try to restrict this blog to thoughts on my daughter (and future child #2, currently gestating) and it isn't possible that I haven't had a thought during the entire month of July. Already I'm failing.

Excuses? There are more than one. I have two part-time jobs. My husband's birthday was last month. My friend's child was diagnosed with cancer. A harrowing month, indeed.

But this will not do. I have a terrible memory, and someday Lily is going to want to hear stories about when she was a baby. I know I'll forget if I don't get it down.

I must recommit.

Wow, I'm a bit behind. My only Lily observations today are that her hair is getting really long and it's filling out more and more. She is starting to hit and openly defy things I say, which is less than awesome. I guess 2 is when parenting really begins.

So tired all the time; almost done with the first trimester. I hope this part ends soon.

Kevin gets baptized tomorrow. I think it is going to be a special day.
