the party did not stop there. monday, we celebrated grandpa's bday then on tuesday, we celebrated my birthday. as is typical for family visits, there was plenty of delicious food to be had. grandma lam outdid herself and uncle sam even learned how to man the grill.

when not partying, bailey continued chowing down on solids. she tried avocado while in the big d but wasn't terribly fond of it. happily, she is quite a fan of her second veggie, sweet potatoes. here's a picture of bailey getting fed by both grandmas in her bumbo. bumbo courtesy of aunt jangila. :-)

over the course of the week, grandpa played many violin concerts for bailey. she accompanied him a few times on the piano and even lended her vocal skills. from time to time, bailey banged on the piano sans violin too and is apparently quite a fan of "jesus loves me."

nighttime sleep wasn't spectacular as b discovered she could be nursed again through the night. yes, i caved. might as well have had "open all night" tattooed to my chest. needless to say, we are now re-training her. fortunately she is picking it up much faster than round one. AND now that we have converted our apartment into bailey's palace, matt and i will hopefully be getting more sleep too. for those of you who haven't heard the news, matt and i moved our bed to the living room, giving bailey the run of the entire bedroom. though we have had to suffer constant ribbing from friends, doormen, and our building's maintenance crew, we are certain that the new layout is for the best! come on over for a dinner party (i mean, slumber party) some time to check it out.

in other VERY exciting news, bailey cut her first tooth in dallas and shortly after we returned to nyc, her 2nd tooth popped out too. hooray!
