4 1/2
I can't believe you are half way to 5. You will soon be a whole hand old. You are beyond excited to be 4 1/2...just like Caleb now. It is always about being like your cousin & you were so excited when you woke up today and could finally add the 1/2 to your age. I suppose at 4 it is a big deal to be that extra half. All day today you would talk in a sing-song voice that it was your 4 1/2 birthday. Today was all about you sweet boy. We met daddy for lunch at your favorite place Panda Express. You love their orange chicken & fried rice and would eat there every day if we let you.
You have started to come out of your shell the older you are, but you still hold onto some shyness. You like to make sure someone you know is always in eye sight when we are out. You still won't talk to people freely, but that is fine with me.
You have the biggest imagination and I love to listen to you play. You make up the funnest conversations with your toys. You have a big love for stuffed animals(despite mommy not being a big stuffed animal fan). You have a couple that you are very attached to right now...Po, a panda & Pudding a smaller Panda Po's baby sister.
You love just about every sport and will play just about any of them. You have a weekly sports class that is perfect for you and covers baseball, hockey, golf, soccer, tennis, & basketball. During your class you get to learn a little about each sport. Of course your favorites are baseball and golf. But you have also started to be into hockey. Daddy is a big nascar fan & you have decided that number 11 Denny Hamlin is your favorite race car driver(even though Daddy has always been a Ryan Newman fan). We aren't sure how you picked Denny Hamlin, but you have stuck with him since last year. Every race you are sure he is going to win.
You are such a fun & happy little boy. And I am so excited you are 4 1/2(even if that means you are growing up way too fast).
Our precious boy we love you so much. And love watching you grow.

3 Months
We can't believe you are 3 months old already!!! If only we could freeze time...I would bottle this time up. Your little personality is truly starting to shine. It looks like you will be our little chatter box & I love it. It doesn't matter who is talking, but if you can hear them you think they are talking to you. As soon as you hear a voice you start talking and smiling. It is so fun to hear your little sounds and your smile lights up any room.
Your brother is still head over heels for you & I can only pray that you two grow up being the best of friends. He loves that you are starting to interact and as soon as he hears you talking he is right there talking to you too.
Ready for the big news...your 2 bottom teeth came in last week. Yes, you are only 3 months old and you already have 2 teeth. The truth is when you were born your gums were really swollen at your bottom 2 teeth. The pediatrician we used in the hospital said you would have teeth within a week. He told us the teeth might not be healthy and probably would need to be pulled as soon as they came in. Our pediatrician didn't think that was the case and said even if you did get teeth there was no way to say if they would be a problem. Your swollen gums went down a lot over the last couple months. Then the week before last we noticed your gums were looking a little swollen again and we could see the tiny teeth. It was only a few days before your teeth were poking through the gums. So now my tiny little 3 month old you have your 2 bottom teeth. You were a teething champ & never acted like they bothered you. You definitely are more drooly now and are constantly sticking your tongue out.
You are sleeping longer stretches at night kind of. You usually go to sleep between 8 & 9 and then don't wake up again until around 2 or 3 in the morning. Then you are back to your 3 hour eating after that.
Little Lily we couldn't love you more.

Newborn Pictures
Yes, you read that right...and yes, Lily will be 3 months old in just a couple weeks. But I realized I hadn't shared her adorable, perfect newborn pictures here. I was waiting until the birth announcements went out to everyone & then I just forgot. (I am hoping to get back to more regular blog posting in the next week & not just Lily updates...can we just call this a 12 week maternity leave?)Until I am back to regular posting enjoy this pictures of Lily.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14

2 Months Old
Oh Smiley Girl,
You are 2 months old...and growing like crazy! At your 2 month check up today you weighed in at 11 pounds 3 ounces the 59th percentile and you are 22 1/4 inches long the 45th percentile. I can't believe how big you have gotten. I suspected you were going through a growth spurt last week when you wanted to eat almost every hour and then slept through the night from 11pm-8am. Although, you haven't slept through the night since then you still are a great sleeper...usually giving me a solid 5 hour stretch most days. Thank you for not making mommy feel completely sleep deprived. At your appointment today Dr. Saade did say that at 2 months you are no longer considered a newborn and now are into the infant stage. Oh, how that made me so sad. But you are still only 2 months old so not much will be changing with us. You will still be coming with mommy just about everywhere I go...but it is still a little sad to hear that you are no longer a newborn.
You are truly our smiley little girl. You started smiling a few weeks ago, but now you almost always smile when we talk to you. You are definitely Pawpaw's girl & smile at him every time he talks to you & get the biggest grins when he is holding you. But you don't leave any of us out and I know made Daddy's day when you smiled at him when he was telling you bye on his way out the door to work. Jake loves to get you to smile at him & still loves to be right in your face all day long.
You are staying awake a lot longer during the day now and are so alert and attentive to everything going on around you. You have really started to pay attention to the toys that dangle from your bouncy seat or the floor mat. You do swat at the toys, but not sure if you do it knowingly or just because you love to move your hands around and end up hitting the toys.
You are trying so hard to become a thumb/finger sucker. Because Daddy & I sucked our thumbs for so long and pacifiers are much easier to get rid of we are really trying to give you a paci. You happily take the pacifier when we give it to you, but if you don't have it you start looking for your thumb. You still keep your hands in a fist & usually can't get your thumb from under your index finger you settle for your fingers. But I can tell that as soon as you figure out how to get your thumb out you just might be a thumb sucker.
This month you also started cooing a lot. It is so sweet to hear the little sounds you are making.
Our little Lily girl you definitely brighten our days & make us all a little more smiley.

6 Weeks
You have always been a smiley baby. Yes, they may not have been "real" smiles, but I love them still. You always smile in your sleep & sometimes even crack up laughing while you are sleeping. It is the sweetest thing & I love it. Even if you don't know you are smiling. This week you did smile at Pawpaw while he was talking to you. So we are going to call that a "real" smile. You were awake & looking right at him. Since then you have smiled at me, daddy & even Jake. You love to be talked to & seem to be taking in every word. I am sure you will be smiling all the time soon!
You had your one month check up last week and weighed in at 9 pounds 6 ounces (50th percentile) & 21 inches long (40th percentile). You are getting so big & it is hard to believe. We have retired the newborn diapers & moved up to size 1. You have also started to grow out of your newborn clothes & fitting into your 0-3 month clothes now.
