Four months ago today, this little one made us a family of three!
That smile...I LOVE seeing that sweet look and am so glad she gets to share that with us.
Sleeping
Sleeping
Lily is a great sleeper at night once she goes to sleep and I'm so glad for that. Biggest change is that instead of laying down with her to go to sleep, I'm sitting in a chair by the bed. In fact, the other night after reading books, she "pushed" me and said "Mommy chair" so I guess she was ready for me to give her some room. Although, she still likes my hand to be by her side.
She sleeps from about 8:30 to 7:30 each night and no naps still - except for the little ones she can catch in the car and continue inside if she lets us carry her in without waking.
Funny how these two pictures are from different days and so similar - ha, ha! She is consistent, huh?
And, speaking of sleeping...
Lily enjoys reading before we go to sleep. Her favorite books now are books that have flaps for her to look under. Each time she looks under one, she likes to name what's under it.
Possibly a quick nap coming soon if I were betting...
Eating
Lily continues to love to eat! Her favorites right now include eggs, spaghetti, pears, chips, soup, taco meat and anything she can dip a chip into (guacamole, ceviche, queso).
Yummy soup!

Crackers and salami anyone?
Ceviche? Yes, I think so!

Attachment
I have to say, in my opinion, Lily is very well attached to her forever people!
Playing
Play, play, play...Lily is up for all sorts of play. Her favorite things currently include playing with her stuffed animals and babies, pushing them in the stroller and grocery cart, playing with her zoo/farm animals, blocks, and playing outside.
Getting a pedi while outside - along with a headless stretchy bunny! Doesn't everyone have one of those in the water when getting your toes done?
She likes to get all her things lined up. She likes things in order like her Mommy!

Communicating
Lily continues to add vocabulary almost daily! Aside from understanding most things, she is starting to put 2 and 3 words together. Her favorite phrase right now is "Lily do it"! I love seeing/hearing this transformation in her. See yesterday's post if you haven't for Lily's knack at naming animals and sounds. :)
The past 4 months have been a whirlwind and I'm thinking that's the way our lives will be from now on. There have certainly been a few tough times but when I see this sweet girl looking up at me, I quickly forget any troubles and my heart melts. Can you blame me?
Happy Mama here with Lily (and a cup of morning coffee)!!!

Loves her time with her Daddy!

Our precious, precious Lily. I'm not sure how we survived this long without her. A true gift from above!
