4 Months Old

Okay I rolled over to see you

Okay so time is passing by so quick! It seems like yesterday that I was still pregnant...

Here is lily on her 4 month b-day.... enjoy

Waking up after her 2 hour nap

Mothers Day!!!

So it was our first Mothers day in the Hammitt house.. Lily ended up being in our bed around 5 and we woke up around 7 again. I smile at her every morning and she smiles at me right back. She does not like her bed too much as she is a wiggle worm at night. I lay her one way and when she wakes up she is the total opposite way. Its okay waking up after 6 hours and then having to re-adjust her.

Daddy had a "lily"plant in his hands and Miss Lily actually brought me the card. She held it the whole way up the stairs but then would not let it go. I asked Kevin if I could go on a little shopping spree for mothers day due to me not fitting in any more clothes... they are too big...

So one day this week mommy is hitting up the mall while daddy watches lily. We ended up going to my sisters for dinner. The whole family was at the house. We played Cornhole which is always fun. Lily was really good. She has started to when people say hello to her smile or laugh and then hide her hed in mommys chest which I think is too cute.

I could not have asked for a better life. My husband is wonderful & being a mother is truly a wonderful blessing. She is loving her rice cereal which I usually put a little baby spoon full of Nanners or this week we are trying pear. She has her 4 month appointment at the end of May which she will be getting her shots again.

Hope everyone had a good mothers day!!

Updates

Okay- So lily likes to hold things in her hands now and she tries to put them in her mouth... Kevin and I were at the Mexican restaurant last night and she held her rattle and shook it as well as tried to put in her mouth for about ten min. She has a cow hanging from her carrier that she loves. I took him off today and she was like im going to eat you....

She started to try to hold her bottle a couple of weeks ago but has really started putting the grip on here lately. She gets more and more animated and loving.

Lily trying to say I love you

so we are trying to have lilys first words be "I love you or hello" I was recording a voicenote on my blackberry to send to kevin while he was at work and it totally sounds like she is saying "i love you" ENJOY.

Rice Cereal & Easter

Okay, so Dr. Dixon said I could let her have rice cereal once a day till about 3-4 months. I can even add nanners.. lol... Any way, I gave it to lily with a spoon the first go around and she didnt really know how to take the spoon so the next time we gave her about 2oz in a bottle and she ate it right up & smiled. I took her to the Easter Bunny with my mom and dad due to Kevin having a cyst on his backside... poor thing. He had to go get it drained at the urgent care and cannot sit so therefore could not ride in the car. Anyway, she did really good. She was asleep up until the time I sat her in his arms and then she stretched... it was funny but I think we got a good one considering her age. She slept for the first time for a long time in her bed.. 930-430. I was quite happy. I woke up and I had not heard from her which I usually do so I went in there to check and I guess she knew I was in there and woke up.. Dang it!! she went back to sleep though after having a quick bottle. Enjoy her pictures!

A letter To My Lily!

Hello sweet girl.
I wanted to write a letter to you because I plan on printing all of these post from the time that daddy and I found out we were going to have you and make a big old scrap book. I want to let you know how grateful your daddy and I are to have a sweet, healthy, adorable little angel like you. It's a true blessing that you are healthy little girl and I hope that you continue to grow big and strong. Mommy and Granma went to the mexican restaurant today and had lunch and you just smiled from ear to ear at me. It makes me feel so special to have you look at me the way you do. I know you and daddy have that special bond too. It's so fun to be with you at home every day! You are such a good little girl while mommy works every day. You have started to take naps in your big girl bed which helps mommy out a lot with making phone calls to her customers. I send you picutre to my good customers and they just eat you up. You are my precious sweet angel and I could not tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me. A little cold that you have makes me sad cause I know you do not feel good. Now I know what Granma means when she says you will never know a love like the love you have for you daughter. Granma has been so good to me all of my life and still to this day spoils me, I am sure you will also get spoiled throughout your life. "you already do" You love watching ESPN in the morning. I think its because of all the motion that is going on with the TV. I just wanted to let you know that I love you and that you are my little sugar booger...
love mommy

2 Month Well Check Up

So lily went for her 2 month check up and she did great. We love Dr Dixon!!!! She got her four shots and an oral med and cried as well as I shed a few tears. She was good as soon as I picked her up. She weighs in at 11.1lbs and is 23in long.. Last nigth was the first night she slept the WHOLE ENTIRE night in her bed. She woke for about 30 min but went right back to sleep after a fed her. It does not bother me that she wakes once, its better then the every 2 hours we use to do after her first weeks of life. She was free of her ear infection and cold which was nice to hear. Dr. Dixon states because she has her double crowns on the back of her head that she should be really smart which I hope so because I was never the brightest color in the box when it came to academics in high school. As I got older I came to enjoy it more. Kevin on the other hand is very smart. Passed 2 gace without ever taking classes in EDU. Anyway here is a picture of her when we got back from the doctors.
