She's 5 months and getting balder by the minute. I find stray fallen hairs on her polka-dot crib sheet and sigh. Soon it'll all fill in. Lillie could eat me for dinner, my face, my arm, my shoulder, my knee. And I, her, likewise. Her ears dip down a little on the top, just nodding at me. Her drool smells like buttermilk frosting and tulips. And her back, don't even get me started. Her tongue curls and trembles, feeling it's way around the atmosphere. We are the only people she knows, the only ones she cares about.This evening after dinner Ruby got her to giggle her little cheeks off and the remaining three of us stopped and stared, unable to take our eyes away from that growing baby. All the while, the clock on the kitchen wall ticked swiftly and steadily.

Lillie is CUTE with or without hair! I love your new house. I'll have to come by and see it sometime.
Goodness, have I ever told you how beautiful she is. My little Brinnley is a frizzy haired peanut compared to the bald and beautiful chunky lillie! I always wanted a chunky baby!
She is beautiful! They just seem to grow up way to fast! Your house is awesome! I LOVE the backyard!

I just hope everyone is taking the time to pop those out. That second one--- I'm gasping--- you should blow it up REALLY big. I could totally smell the buttermilk frosting and tulips...
And do you know how much I've wanted to steal your "get right out of town" phrase for myself--- but I feel like such a theif... even here in my non-cyber world--- I've held myself back. I love it.
