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.
