Our first day without company is always an adjustment as we try to return back to our "normal" schedule. Luckily the house was clean because Lily and I didn't do very much once Eric left for work. We were so tired, we went to bed at 7 PM and didn't wake up until 9 AM!

Yesterday was also Lily's seven month "birthday" and has been wonderful watching her grow! After we travel or have company visit, Lily is always a smarter, more capable baby. The new experiences and interaction with different people truly benefit her! I know she enjoyed all the extra attention from my mom and she also is learning about what can or cannot be tasted.

My mom started saying, "That's not for the mouth" and now if you tell her while she has something she shouldn't, she actually pauses and pulls it away. Sometimes she puts it right back in, but she is making great progress and I am in awe with how quickly kids can learn something new!

This video is from when Lily got her ears pierced and my mom let her have some ice cream. She really enjoyed it!
