And we're back...

We came back home last Sunday after a wonderful trip to North Carolina. It already seems like we have been home a month. Lilah and I have been busy catching up with the things we missed and filling Jonas in on all he missed as well. Lilah is changing so much so fast, you can still tell a difference after just a week. Her hair is really getting much thicker and growing now quite a bit. You can see it pretty easily even when you are not standing in the sun, although that really helps. She learned a thing or two from her cousin Guillaume, and has just started to scoot along on her bottom in order to get within reach of a cool toy. It was great to see the two of them together. He is pretty quick getting around a room, and Lilah would just watch him go. Their first encounter was pretty funny. They were sitting about four feet away from one another, facing each other, when Guillaume scooted right on up to Lilah and popped her on the head. She didn't mind it too much, but when he started shouting at her, she got a little upset. It was funny to see, but things got better from there.

We bought an inflatable pool while we were in NC too, and let G and Lilah play in semi-warm water. It wasn't the warmest day though, and it started to rain halfway through, but the babies didn't seem to mind at all. We just held umbrellas over them, and they kept on splashing. Guillaume is a natural in the water, and Lilah seemed to really enjoy it as well. We have bought one for ourselves since we've been back, if only it would warm up so we could try it out!

As for new foods, we have added apples, oatmeal, butternut squash, prunes, and peas to our list. She has learned to like the others she had previously not enjoyed, but we are still working on the peas. She does not like them one bit and starts to spit every time we try them. Her favorite is still avocado, but bananas are climbing the chart.

I go back to work tomorrow for the first time in several weeks. It will be nice for Lilah and Jonas to have another day together, although it is hard to be apart from her when we are together ALL of the time. I guess I must share though, and Lilah is truly smitten with her daddy. She will love playing with him all day.
