Thanksgiving

For Lily's first Thanksgiving we headed to West Chester to spend some time with my family. We were there from Wednesday until Saturday and we had a great time! Lily was very excited to meet her Great Grammom Skippy for the first time. Wednesday night Ryan and I left Lily and had our first night out by ourselves. We headed over to the Gruner's for some festivities with my friends from high school. We headed back home in time to put Lily to bed while all of my friends headed to the bars. Oh how life changes when you have a baby!

Thanksgiving day was very busy with lots of cooking and relatives. My dad's family came to our house and it was Lily's first time meeting a lot of them. She was a little overwhelmed by all of the noise and all of the new people holding her, but she was a trooper and hung in there.

Friday was filled with lots of visitors all day. We were so happy to see Carrie and Jenni again and some friends of my parents and sister came by to meet Lily. She let everyone pass her around again but had had enough by the time we went out to dinner and made us stand and hold her throughout the whole dinner. She's already learning the meaning of payback!

Saturday we headed back home because we had an engagement party to go to that night for one of Ryan's high school friends. We brought Lily with us and everyone at the party was very happy to meet her. We didn't get to stay for too long because Lily was exhausted and wanted to be back home in her bed, which, by the way, she has been sleeping in by herself since the week before Thanksgiving!

When we went for Lily's 2.5 month check-up I talked to the doctor about moving her into her crib and they said it was fine to do it now, so that night we made the move! She has been doing great in there. I was a little nervous about doing it right before we went to West Chester because I thought she would be thrown off by sleeping in her crib and then moving again to the pack n' play, but she did great. This child has no problem sleeping!
