Our Week in Review

Last Wednesday, Lillie and I and our friends went to the zoo in support of the Dental Wives Club. We saw some pretty cool animals, but my favorite (and the most anticipated) exhibit was "Spider City". They had all these tarantulas along with your local faves like the black widow, etc. I have to admit, I was a little freaked out and it felt like I had spiders on me through the whole exhibit. Lillie was not the best behaved and I had forgotten the snugli, so I held her in one arm and struggled to push my stroller with the other. It was good to get out, but next time I'll have to make sure Eric is with me. I can't handle Lillie in public alone without the snugli.

Me and Lil stopping to pose for a picture outside Spider City.

Eric had the next day off, so we went to Disneyland with a few friends. We spent all our time at California Adventure. Eric went on all the big, scary rides with our friends while I watched the kids. I am such a chicken. The one ride I did go on was a water rafting ride, which was fun but I was soaked after that. I was more wet than everyone else. Good thing it was a hot day... in fact, Eric and I both got mild sunburns.

Lillie turned two months last Sunday and to celebrate we had about 15 people over for dinner... okay, that was for us, not her but it was a ton of fun nonetheless. On Monday, Lillie had her two month checkup and shots. We had been wondering how much she weighed because we could tell she had gotten a lot bigger lately. The damage wasn't as bad as we thought. She only weight 11 lbs 7 oz, which put her in the 50th percentile for her age. Her head circumference was also at the 50th percentile, but the real shocker was her height. She had grown 3 inches in the past month, she is now 24 in tall, which put her in the 95th percentile. We've had to move onto 3-6 mo clothing and so I'm not surprised that she's in the 95th.
So that was basically it for the week, a couple of days out, but a pretty low-key week.

I agree with Hailey--the picture of you and Lily outside the spider exhibit is awesome. Why so afraid of rides?

Sounds like fun! Hey when do we get to see Lillie close up? Any trips planned to Washington? I can't wait to hold her.
