Hi mom!

"Why won't you people let me sleep??"

"Sleep is goooooood."

"I said...no cameras, please!!!"

Catching a few rays.

" Mommy's lap makes a really good bed."

"Help! I've fallen over and I can't get up."

Lily wakes up after 2 days of sleeping - just long enough to pose for the camera....

.....and goes back to sleep again. This time on daddy.
