Month Two

Rob’s parents have come out and are ready to see their first little grandbaby.  Lily has a lot of fun entertaining and being entertained by her grandparents, Busia (Rob’s Mom) and Dza Dza (Rob’s Dad).  Rob’s brother, Timmy, also comes to meet Lily and I.  She is spoiled rotten the entire time they are out here!!

We decided to have an action packed week while the grandparents are visiting.  One thing we thought that was important to do while they were out was to get Lily baptized.  Our friends and family filled up one whole section of the church.  It was very special to have everyone there.  Lily slept through the whole thing, even the water on her forehead!  My mom gave me my baptism dress for Lily to wear and she looked so beautiful in it!  We also got to tell Mike and Christine that we would like them to be Lily’s godparents.  What a wonderful day it was.

Lily has gotten some really bad diaper rash.  To try and rid her of the discomfort, we do naked time during the day to get some air to her little bum.  She loves being naked, so this is a really fun time to interact with her.  She loves to talk and smile at whoever will pay her attention, and Busia loves to entertain her during this time!

This month also brings us Christmas!  We go down to Littleton to spend it with the family.  Lily and I go down a week early because Grammie and Pa Pa are really missing her.  Daddy has a tough time being away from his little Lily for so long.  Luckily, he had work to keep him busy.

As predicted Lily is spoiled again, she gets many cute new outfits, and fun toys.  She is also working on starting her college fund and is getting a good amount!  Thank you to everyone who got her all of the fun presents.

           

Lily had her 2-month checkup and is looking good; she is gaining weight well, but has not added as many inches as they thought she would.  It is also time to get her first round of vaccinations. 

On a similar note, I am finally starting to feel better.  I am able to walk around for longer periods of time.  I went in for my 6-week check up and I am looking good!  This baby making process sure takes its toll and I am glad that I am coming out of it!  I have already lost half of what I gained with her.

Big developments in Lily this month: She is starting to talk to us.  Mommy loves to have conversations with her and listen to all her cute little coos.  She also smiles with a purpose now, and especially loves to give Pa Pa smiles.  Talking to her is way more fun with the payout of a big smile!  She is getting slightly more coordinated and has learned to suck on her 2 middle fingers.  She also likes to rub her eyes when she is tired.  We are looking forward to the progress another month will bring her.
