Updates from the Land of Lillian

Our daughter, as it turns out, is the SMARTEST baby EVER.  Last night, she slept from 9:30 at night to 7 in the morning, only waking up once at 3:15 am to eat.  If that isn't sheer brilliance, I don't know what is.  She loves her new crib, although we are already nostalgic for the days when she slept in her bassinet.

We spent the first half of September meeting new family members and getting ready for Ben and Caitlin's wedding.  Caitlin was a stunning bride and Ben celebrated by spending half the evening crying and the other half sweating on the dance floor, which meant it was a perfect night.  And on September 14, Lillian got a new beautiful cousin, Gemma, courtesy of Peter and Laura.  We all can't wait to meet her! 

Our life on the Cape consists of lots of one-sided conversations with our baby, lots of laundry, and lots of praying that the Red Sox make the playoffs.  Come visit anytime!

It's wonderful to see Lillian looking so happy and loved. It's exciting to have three little girl babies in our family. It would be fun to have them all together. :-)

Love the red in her hair!
