bonus: more kitty snuggles

Yesterday after the party, Lil came home and crashed in her crib. But someone got there before she did. Like Goldilocks in reverse, Lil blondie arrived home to find a furry creature all cuddled up in her bed! Rather than try and move the cat while balancing a sleeping baby in one hand, I just arranged Lil next to Kitty and let them be.

Lil slept for over two hours, and for most of it, Kitty stayed curled up right by her side. Apparently Mama isn't the only one who's crazy for baby cuddles.

All this sun and cool air means that Lil can finally get to have some real outdoor fun.  Over at Cooper Park, there is a lovely kiddie playground with enough baby swings to go around.  Lil got her thrills  on the swings as the sun set behind her.  She watched the big kids play on the bouncy bridge, and go head first down the slide.  Next year Lil plans on doing the same, but for now the swing is her playground.

Since these are the cutest photos ever, here's one more (Mama's favorite):

Oh, and one for the road...

five months

Well, Lil is five months old today!  How about a side-by-side comparison:

Today

One month ago

What do you think? Is she bigger? More mature? More prolific?

I really don't have much to say about today, or about Lil's outfit.  We went out.  The dress is from Gap.  Lately the only thing I care to do is stare at this baby. Be warned: from here on, this post contains gratuitous images of Lil. I apologize, and I understand if you stop following this blog.  But it can't be helped.  In my world, there is very little else that truly matters.
