Easter Bunny!

Right now, Lily is "talking" to the toys on her bouncy chair. Today, she discovered the mirror and is having an animated conversation with her reflection. I read somewhere that babies start to coo around 2 months and if no one talks back to them, they stop cooing at 6 months. Being the hormonal basketcase that I am, I cried wondering who the test subjects for that study were. I have made a commitment to 'talk' back to Lily when she tries to interact. Although, I doubt she cares to hear my discuss what I had for breakfast and how I prepare her bottles or what we did that day, I'm told that this is all part of her learning process. I have also had political discussions with her, I figure it's never to early to make her a liberal (haha!).

Yesterday, we hit Southpark Mall in hopes of tracking down the Easter Bunny. Well, Southpark only had a portrait studio who featured the bunny, so we ended up there. Lily was sleeping when we arrived and she slowly woke up when I pulled her carseat shade back. The "bunny" walked over and peered down at Lily and tried to get her attention. Lily slowly turned her sleepy head in the direction of the bunny and WHAM!, her eyes almost popped out of her head. She knew instantly that this was not a normal face and her surprise had me in near-tears. She didn't cry, she just studied it. Then she got over it, accepted this wild looking creature, and settled into its arms to pose for her picture.

Devin's mom is coming tomorrow and I'm elated! Its going to be the first time she's seen Lily since she was born. And on Sunday, I am dragging my whole family to church. I already have a dress picked out for Lily to wear :)

Now, we are off to the pediatrician for them to poke my child with vaccines and make her cry. Damn, modern medicine!
