Team Jilly

 

Jamisen had a fun boo-boo this week. He managed to hurt himself on a plastic water sprayer. We're not quite sure how that happen but think it was a pinch hurt. He was smiling big for the camera because I told him to smile for Grandma. =) I am trying to figure out how to tell him that he can also call her the traditional Norsk term for Grandma, 'Mor Mor' but the concept of other languages is still a (eh hem) foreign concept to him. 

 

Baby Lily remains happy, cheerful and above all, a blessing in our lives. Even Jamisen seems to be growing quite fond of her. We continue to try to emphasize the 'team' aspect of them together - even giving them their own monniker "Team Jilly!" for Jamisen + Lily. That term is not fixed however and we remain open to great ideas on how to solidify their bond. 

Lily still is working full time. She is a normal little baby girl, crying, pooping and puking like a 2 month old. This is an artistic rendition of what happened this week at work - she literally puked on command on our Customer Experience Manager's desk. It was hilarious. He was making little baby faces at her and saying playfully, "Don't you puke on my desk. Don't you do it." And blacccch, she opened her mouth and sallied forth such a lovely gusher that she missed her own outfit and hit his desk squarely.

We just harvested a new crop of potatoes from our not-deer proof garden. This is maybe 1/100th of the potatoes in the garden. I'm a little terrified of all the things I'll be learning to do with them. I'm thinking that I'll end up learning how to make potato chips and give away homemade batches of potato chips for Christmas this year! =)

We were so happy and pleased when Team Cherick came to visit this week. It was great to have them over and I remain astounded at how good Uncle Erik is with toddlers. He's a natural and clearly, judging from Lily's expression, does pretty good with babies too. I think the look on Erik's face (and the look of giggly satisfaction on Lily's face) comes from a rather impressive toot that Lily had just let out =)
