"The Manny"

Last week Matt Ewart came to visit Lilly and of course us too. I really think it was just to come see a different part of the U.S. which he didn't really take to. The desert was too brown and dull for him. :) We had a lot of fun and took in a lot of things in just 3 short days. Matt really took to Lilly and was an AWESOME babysitter. He dubbed himself "the Manny" off of Ice Age. And boy was he like that too. He toted her around and even wore he front carrier with her in it, which we now call a papoose because of him. He got her in and out of the car and held her at home all the time. He kept saying that he wasn't ready for kids but he sure fooled me! He made my job very easy and I quite enjoyed feeling spoiled. Lilly got to hike up a little mountain at Gate's Pass and enjoy a bottle while she was at it. Mommy was tired after that endeavor! After that we visited the Botanical Garden but Lilly got really hot so we took a break in the only cool place we could find- the bathroom. And yes, you may think this is gross but Lilly was really hot and I felt really bad for her so I laid her down on the tile in the bathroom to let her cool down. She seemed to enjoy it though. :) It was a lot cooler and made a much happier baby. We had a lot of fun with "the Manny" and I know we miss him!
