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.

A weekend get away!!

So Kevin & I went the the Ritz Carlton at Reynolds plantation for the weekend for a special event we attended. Lily did really well. She slept on the car ride there and back!!! On saturday it was an all day event and she was having a hard time getting to sleep when she does. We got back to the room around 11 leaving a little early from the event and she slept till 630 the next morning.

It has been such a true blessing to have her in our lives. She wakes in the morning from around either 630-800 and I feed her and then shes off back to sleep in her lamb swing. We have picked up this routine because I have to work. Her bed times are usually around 830 at night and she sleeps till about 4 or so and I feed her really quick and shes off back to bed. We had some professional pictures done which I viewed them at the Ritz and they were great. I am going to be posting them in about a week or so.

I have come to the conclusion that Lily looks more and more like her dad which is okay! I am hoping that the Red that shines in the sun in her hair will one day come through so we can have something in common. My hair is starting to get more red by the day like when I was a baby, maybe its the hormone change :) LOL.

Hanging out around the house!!!

So here are a couple of pics of me haning out from taking a bath to sleeping!!!

ENJOY!!! I held my passy and tried to put it back in my mouth. Mommy laughed as I tried!

Hanging around the house!!!

Lily is almost one month old on Sunday and everything has been going good. I have not been able to update pictures from working, to feeding, to changing diapers and trying to work around the house. Its a handful when you try to tackel all of these things but in time I know that it will get easier.

She had her first real bath the other week and did not like it so much but the second time around was a whole lot better. She is on soy formula as we have stopped nursing do to it consuming the majority of my day. She is doing well on the formula with an upset tummy here and there but other then that great. Her sleeping patterns are always off somehow. Last night she slept from 1030 to 200 which was nice and then ate and slept till 5. It's been a true joy having her in our lives and I know that time will make memories so much more speical. Here are a few pictures of her and I will post her bath video later. ENJOY!!
