Matt was in St. Louis this weekend on a "man trip" so Lily and I did lots of girly things together. On Saturday we went to a bridal shower for our cousin Janet. Lily was pretty overwhelmed by all the new noises and people, so the pictures below aren't her best. It was fun getting her all dressed up and the extended family enjoyed meeting Lily. It was bizarre for me to be dressed up and taking care of Lily. I never imagined I'd be wearing high heels and pushing a stroller!! It felt more like a scene out of Sex In the City than my normal life. It was tough getting Lily to eat and nap in the exciting environment, but she eventually tired and fell asleep when our food came. (I'm always excited when I get to eat my food when it's still hot.) And then Lily woke up just in time to watch presents.

On Sunday, Lily and I met up with my good friend Cara who was in town from Nashville. We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factor (our 2nd visit this month... yum!) and shopped around Woodfield mall. Lily is still well behaved in public, but I think I'm quickly reaching her limit. I never realized how noisy restaurants were until we started taking Lily to them. If it's not the chatty people and plates clinking, it's the loud background music....geesh! Lily was much happier when we started shopping and she got to ride around in her stroller. I can already tell she's going to love being Mommy's shopping buddy. :)
