First Visit to PA

This past weekend was really exciting because it was Lillie's first out-of-state car ride. It started with Papa coming up from NC on Friday for a quick visit and to pick up Grandma who had stayed with us since Lillie was born. While we were very thankful and needful of her hel
p, Papa, Chris, Greyson and the rest of the NC family needed her back. While it was a tough goodbye we didn't have much time to fuss before we were in the car and heading north to Lancaster, PA to visit for Pappy's birthday.


On Saturday night Lillie also went out to her first restaurant. Things went very well, and Cameron and Lillie decided to catch a little shuteye while the everyone else ate. While Lillie chose to have her dinner as well while we were out to eat, both she and Cameron were back to sleep by the time we got back to Grammy and Pappy's house. They presented us with a perfect photo op.


The next day Lillie visited Dradder and Great Pappy for the first time. Aunt Judy and Uncle Pete were there as well and everyone thought that Lillie was really cute. Great Pappy had a huge smile on his face and whenever he wasn't holding Lillie he was on the edge of his seat trying to watch her. Dradder really liked Lillie's hair and everyone laughed at Lillie's callick/mohawk. Everyone made comparisons to Lillie and Jake when he was a baby and Dradder told her favorite story about walking with Jake when he was young and filling in a hole in the road with rocks.


Lillie had a good drive home after all the excitement and in general had a really good experience with her first trip away from Annapolis. While its always sad to say goodbye to family it did feel good to get back home again. Other than her big adventure to Lancaster, Lillie has been getting some belly time and is already lifting and turning her head from side to side several times while on the floor. Here is a picture of a tucan that kept on sneaking up and kissing Lillie on the nose. She had her eye on that sneaky Tucan.
