Big Day!

Lily and I are both exhausted right now. We spent the first half of the day stuck in the WIC office at the Health Dept. They insisted that I bring my little 3 week old baby to renew my WIC (which gives lower-income women and infants food & formula) and then we had to wait for 3 HOURS!!! If we didn't need that darn formula so bad, I would've just left. Luckily, Miss Lily was a great baby and slept for all but 20 minutes.

After a quick lunch, we headed up to Huntersville to visit Aunt Leslie and Mr Sam! We had a great time visiting and chatting. Poor Sam didn't know what to make of Lily. I think he thought she was just a REALLY loud toy. In this pic, she is crying and Sam is looking at her like she has two heads!

Then, Leslie and I took the babies for a stroll around the neighborhood. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and both the kids seemed to enjoy the fresh air! Below is a picture of Leslie taking a picture of me taking a picture of her....makes perfect sense, right?

I feel so lucky and honored that Leslie has agreed to watch Lily for me when I go back to work in April. I mean, really, who better than Super Mommy Netta to care for my precious girl? Its such a relief to have someone I know well and trust wholeheartedly watch my baby. I think Lily and Sam are gonna be great buddies (and maybe even get married one day! hmm...Lily Netta sounds nice!).

I took this pic of Lily last week in her bouncer. Her facial expression says it all "Mommy, I am very hungry and putting me in the bouncer will not make me stop crying long enough for you to warm up my bottle. " This face was followed by a gut-wrenching wail and I quickly ran to heat up her bottle. Babies are very impatient with mommies who take pictures instead of feeding them immediately :)
