The T-Birds Gather

The T-Birds gathered at our place for some quality time to hang out. Most of the gang in the greater DC area were able to show. It was great to catch up with old friends.

Feeding Lily - or At Least Trying

One of the first attempts to feed Lily solid foods. Note the key word - attempts. There is always next time.



Nice blocking form.



I'm not sure which is closed tighter - her eyes or her mouth.



Alex holds Lily's head steady while Jen tries to force in the eats.



Eventually Lily had to breath and when she opened her mouth - Cote shot the gap.

Big kiss for mommy.

Hanging Out

We were fortunate enough to have a number of visitors come through to welcome Lily. It was great for Alex to have some extra attention and for Jen & Joe to have a few extra hands.
