one month later....

so i just realized that i haven't done a blog in a full month!!!! YIKES- =) i really like to do these things so that one day lily and i can look back at all the things we did over the years- in words... and pictures!! and look at me- haven't taken ANY time to get on and write about life! =( *i think i have mentioned b4 that im a HUGE procrastinator... well heres proof! =) *

anyway... back to BLOGGING! in the past month lily has grown into such a busy little baby! she crawls all over the place!! im chasing her somewhere almost every 5 or 10 min. she loses interest in things pretty quickly- actually its more like she sees something new and HAS to explore! i love it tho- seeing her sweet little face when she discovers how to do something new- 

lately she has been getting into the books on tables, and book shelves. unfortuntly for me they are all within reach for her! =) she will pull them all down and scramble them along the hardwood floor! she also like to push off the blankets i always have nicly folded on the bottom of a side table in the living room... climb up on it and look out the window. its preety stinking cute! shes also figuring out that she will fall if shes not careful.. so when shes been standing and is ready to sit back down she will slowly lower herself to the floor holding one hand down to catch herself! i love how smart she is, and how cute everything she does seems to be! 

She is currently cutting her 4 front TOP teeth.. so that makes 6 now!! we have started to venture into table food and found that she LOVES green beans- she sucks out the beans first! =) she also likes spaghetti, french fries, bread, mashed potatoes, and now that i think about it- pretty much everything we put in front of her. im hoping she stays my good little eater!! =)

Were still in size one diapers, 3-6 month clothing, and most 6month clothing. Shes starting to "cruise"!! says "dada" for almost EVERYTHING!! but DOES know who "dada" is! were venturing into getting her sleeping thru the night without needing help getting back to sleep- which is going pretty well!!! 

Hands down this has to be my favortie stage so far! she has the cutest personality- and shes just so happy all the time!! Until next time <3

7 months <3

The Best 6 months of my Life!

So, were already at the 6 month mark! i cant believe it!! still seems like yesterday i was bringing her home from the hospital.. thinking about how cute and fun it will be when shes sitting up, playing with her toys, crawling, and talking up a storm! well, now that we are here im missing the little cuddling stage- and also how much she used to sleep!! LOL but she is the MOST AMAZING child i have ever met!! her smiles are like sunshine- her sweet little voice melts my heart- and i look forward to watching her learn and explore every day!! so heres what my little monster is up to these days...

Still in size 2 diapers
Sitting up *like a pro!
Says Hi- and Dada *not sure if she MEANS to tho! =)
Does the "army crawl" 
FLIRTS with everyone!!
Talks all day.. and i mean ALL day!
Pulls up in her crib- and on the couch
Has the feeling of accomplishment when she does pull herself up- 
LOVES the remote control.. she will climb all over you to get it
Eats SNACKS- puffs, wagon wheels, cheese sticks <--- the baby ones
Wearing 3-6months, still 0-3 in shorts
Has doubled her birth weight!

 

 
So... her eating habbits are pretty much the same- she LOVES food!! =) eats alot of table food now. still has 3 meals a day... and still nurses 6-8 times a day. im working on weaning... still want her to get the BM but she has started waking up 4/5 times a night to have "mommy/nursing" time. i know shes not hungry b.c i have offered my BM in a bottle... and she wont take it. the lack of sleep *going on about a month* is really starting to get to me and im pretty sure she should have no problems sleeping thru the night- so we have been working on that BUT she got sick for the first time on Friday- started running a fever of 102! found out at the doctor that day she had an ear infection. so shes been on some meds since friday and seems to be MUCH better! 
 
we did get to take her to the park for the first time on monday. they didnt have baby swings so all we could do is watch other kids play and slide. she totally enjoyed being there tho! cant wait to take her back! theres actually another park close to where we live that DOES have more baby friendly things to do so were planning to get out there soon! we also have "family/6months" pics planned for next sunday so im TOTALLY Stoked about that!! 

 

ALSO she had her 6month appt this morning, and she is doing GREAT. were still in the 5th % for weight but they are def. not worried. and neither and i- i was small as a baby as well so i think shes doing just fine. she weights 13.12lbs, 26 1/2 inches- which means she grew 2.5in and gained 2lbs in 2 months. but other than that its the same old same old!! i will do a post as soon as i have the pics back and show you guys!!! *also i have some more recent pics on my camera that i wanted to use for this post... but my camera is dead so i will post another entry of some cute pics i took this weekend!! Until next time! <3
