We started St. Patrick's Day off with some yummy cereal.
Lily loves to stare at the lights over the kitchen table while she's eating.

After breakfast Lily got dressed up in her new green dress from her cousins Mark, Janet, Allison, Nicholas & Jacqueline. I wore green too so we matched!
Lily took her first ride on Koto the dinosaur. She thinks it's cool enough sitting still in the corner so I can't imagine her reaction when we put batteries in it and it starts moving around.
Lily took her first ride in a shopping cart at Trader Joe's. She got lots of attention from our fellow shoppers.
And promptly fell asleep on the short ride home. Between Babies R Us (we needed a monitor since we're no longer in our one bedroom apartment) and Trader Joe's, she was tuckered out.
On Thursday, we headed up to Camarillo for some outlet shopping. Lily was great all day. She had lots to look at in the stores and got an incredible amount of clothing at Carter's and Osh Kosh. We mostly picked up rompers and sun dresses but got some pj's and a swimsuit with a rash guard style top as well. I made out quite well at J Crew and the Gap. I was very happy to find that I am once again wearing my pre-pregnancy sizes for those brands. I was telling Matt this morning that it felt really indulgent to buy a shirt that didn't have a hole in the front for nursing. I've valued comfort and function so much since I've been pregnant that I forgot what it's like to buy clothes that flatter my figure.
I saw this billboard at the corner of Ventura and Reseda and laughed (it says "Recession 101: Chill (Hysteria feeds recessions")). Then I got a little annoyed. Hysteria doesn't feed recession; the plummeting real estate market, almost valueless 401ks and joblessness, among a million other things, feeds recession. It's such a patronizing and strange sentiment to put on a billboard, as if to say "Calm down people, you're imaging that you've been laid off and have no idea where you're going to come up with your next mortgage payment. Just yoga away your fears!" I can't tell if this is government sponsored but I really hope not...
Lily chewing on pizza crust last night!
Glad you all are having fun in sunny So Cal! You crack me up about the clothes you were able to buy for yourself! I loved that feeling too! You know you'll go back to the mom clothes again some day with another pregnancy, but the excitement of buying real, stylish, fitted clothes again is thrilling! :)
