Happy Birthday, Lily!!

On Lily's actual birthday, we had a very casual lunch at Chuck E Cheese with some friends. Lily enjoyed it a lot, and I enjoyed seeing my friends but I'm not sure I want to return to Chuck E Cheese for a very long time! It is chaotic, crazy and overstimulating! And fun!

Lily on a helicopter ride that she and the other kids LOVED! It only took 4 of us parents and a random dude walking by to figure out how to use it.

Lily's friend, Ethan, on the same ride--how cute is he?!? Ethan is exactly 4 months older than Lily and is the son of one of my co-workers.

The ride with the mouse--the kids loved this one too, especially because it took your picture--however it also seems to be a spreader of pink eye! Good thing Ethan was on it before the contaminated kid. Unfortunately, Anna wasn't so lucky!

Whose enjoying this game more?!?

By the way, at Lily's doctor's appointment, she got measured and weighed for the first time in a long time--for height and head circumfrance, she is in the 75-90 percentile and for weight, she is in the 50-75 percentile. No longer a lolly-pop with a giant head! It will be interesting to see if she gets her daddy's height as she grows up.
