Other momentous firsts besides sleeping in the big-girl crib...

As I said in the previous post, this has been a momentous week for Lily and her parents. Most important has been the transition from being a fitful co-sleeper to a deep-sleeping crib baby. Most babies would find that enough of an accomplishment for one week, but not our Pinklet! So lemme tell you about some of the other cool things Lily has done this week.

Well, first of all, as you can see here, we have introduced Lily to shoes. This actually came about because, since Lily has been growing so much, she's starting to outgrow a lot of her stuff, so Tata Rina sent down a care package of a buch of Madi and Mallory's old outfits, and hidden amongst the footie pajamas were these cool kicks. So we couldn't resist! Doesn't she look so fashionable?

Speaking of growing, Lily has also in the past week transitioned from the #1 size Pampers to the #2's. This was at least partly motivated by another first, namely her first diaper blowout. Sorry, folks, no picture on that one! You'll have to use your imagination, I'm afraid.

Now, although we've introduced Lily to shoes, don't expect her to be wearing them all the time, because, as you can see from this video clip, there was another first this week that really requires her to have access to her feet:

By the way, I can't even tell you how happy this made her mama. We've been trying for weeks to stick Lily's toes in her mouth so she'd take the hint!

OK, last but certainly not least...drum roll please...

She may not be able to walk or crawl yet, but the days of being able to put her down and expect her to stay where you left her are now officially over. Yay Lily! I guess mama and dada are really gonna have to get cracking on the baby-proofing thing...
