Lilly and I spent our first night together without Anne! Wow! Big news!
Anne was out with a friend and then crashed on the couch. Lilly and I went for a walk, watched Drømmehagen, ate dinner, played with her toys, danced to the radio, and Lilly got a bath. Although she wasn't ready for bed at first and we had to go back out into the living room to burn off extra energy, Lilly finally fell asleep and slept until almost midnight. After that we were up, off and on: Lilly got some gas and had to poo on the potty, and she was a bit restless because we ran out of milk. But then she slept for a few hours straight, before waking up sometime between six and seven: when I woke up she was sitting on her knees, watching me, waiting to play. I was very tired but exited that we made it through the night together. So yay!
Anne and Lilly are napping now. I've been updating the photo links, so check them out: new pics on the Norway IV album; a new album from our trip to Eidfjord; and, just so you know, another new album coming soon.

This is a big milestone for mama, and papa, and Lilly! It all began with Lilly taking the bottle when I went to have my hair cut Feb. 28. Then Leighton successfully put Lilly down for her nap once in Barcelona, then to bed Saturday a week ago when I was out for an afternoon beer in the sunshine with my friend Ingunn, and then again this passed Friday when I was over at my friend Hege's, taking care of Lilly the entire night!! I felt so giddy when I woke up on the couch, being all youngish and crazy again, going out to party and sleeping in (well, sort of, I got till 7:30 rather than the usual 5:30, but then I also got a good nap that day; thank you Leighton! :) So we're moving into a new stage of life, where Leighton and I can share more, which we will too, soon, when Leighton's done with the semester May 20. But it's also a little sad. That Lilly doesn't need me the same way anymore. It's that separation/individuation thing, it's intoxicatingly freeing, but it's also so sad.
