Lillie Pics

Some new pictures of Lillie...


Her new thing: smiles! She gave us one here and there starting right around six weeks. Now she gives them all the time!

Notice this one was right after a bath!

Just hanging out...

On her tummy - don't you just love the size of her head!!!

Climbing up mom's shirt...
Here are some of my favorite pictures of Lillie and I together

She loves her Moby Wrap (and mom loves it too since she takes naps in it!)

1 Month!

We had our 1 month doctor's appointment and she's weighs in at 8 lbs, 8 oz. We seem to have a thing with the number 8! This puts her in the 29th percentile. She's grown 2 inches and now stands at 22 1/4 inches, putting her in the 89th percentile. I'm so glad to see that she is gaining weight and growing just like she should! We're still using newborn diapers and wearing newborn size clothes, but I can see her starting to fill them out more and more and I think within 2 weeks, we'll be transitioning to the next size up.

Lillie enjoying her tummy time!

Dear Miracle Blanket

My baby slept from 9pm to 9am (and she is still sleeping!) last night, only waking up to feed once at 4:30am. I was able to beat her up and eat breakfast, shower, and get dressed, all in peace in quiet.

Thank you!!!
(for those who haven't had to deal with a baby who just can't get it together enough to fall asleep, the miracle blanket is a swaddling blanket that is next to impossible to get out of. Lillie just kept overstimulating herself all day yesterday because her arms and legs still scare her. By wrapping her up, she can actually relax and fall asleep.)

Lillie's first bath and other updates!

In the past week, I broke down and introduced the pacifier! Babies use sucking to soothe themselves and there are times when nothing else will work. I've been able to put her down at night without her pacifier because my fear is that she would develop the habit of needing it at night and then waking every 10 minutes when it falls out of her mouth.

Isn't this picture a riot! The pacifer takes up half of her face and it's supposedly a newborn size pacifier. Apparently, there are bigger ones out there for when they get older!


I also got brave and took Lillie for a walk in the sling I bought while I was pregnant. Check out her little foot hanging out!

Lillie's belly button finally fell off on day 21 and we were able to give her a real bath! Here's a few shots from this traumatizing event!

Her reaction right as she was going into the water -

Dad and Lillie relaxing after the whole ordeal.
Good night everyone!
