Lilly seemed to warm up to Grandpa Humpherys quite well. This pic is from our trip out to Idaho for my little sister's (Natalie) wedding.

Well, I just heard that there is a new Park family blog. Catherine and I thought we were going to be able to get away with blog lethargy (you know, where you start blogging and quickly fizzle out--only to find that you haven't touched the thing for almost a year). The Park blog is going to create some pressure on us to actually keep this thing up. Initially, we created the blog so that our families (in Idaho and Boston) could keep up with Humpherys' happenings. Well, little did we know that my family in Idaho either cared less (not probable--we hope) or they just weren't into blogging (of course, we are inclined to think it was the latter). Subsequently, we felt little incentive to keep this thing updated. Now that people might be watching, we will try to do a little better.

This is the highchair we found at an antique store in the middle of Illinois. It doesn't pass any safety standards, and that's how we like it. Putting Lilly in is like hitching a horse to a post. We plop her in and then tie her down with a piece of fabric. We love it; there is nothing quite as satisfying as tying your kid down so she can't move or get into trouble. Hopefully, she will be amenable to that when she turns 16 and starts to think about dating.

Even more amazing than the fact that she fits in our bathroom sink, is that we would put her there for a picture.

We have decided to start a project for our date nights. We will get some Ben and Jerry's (or some other artery clogging substance) and work on this quilt for the next few months.

Update: We have eaten lots of fattening goodies...but we haven't even started the quilt.

Lilly's first bath (before she got wet)....

...after she got wet.

This is the bag containing dirty diapers from the second week of Lilly's life.

This is happy (maybe a little scary) Lilly. She just put down 3 oz. Since she usually requires all of her energy to digest her food, we are wondering where she is getting the energy to keep those peepers open.
