2 months old!!!

Wow.....Lily is 2 month old already! How time flies!! She had her appointment last Friday and she weighs 12 lb 2 oz and is 22.75 inches long. She moved from the 25th percentile to the 90th! (She likes to eat and her cheekers show it!) The Dr. was overly impressed with her neck strength. I told him she has been holding her head up since we came home from the hospital. Her first shots were HORRIBLE!!! Lily cried her first real hard cry...with real tears!! Mommy had real tears too!! Mommy even cried when she got back to class and her students asked her about it. The kids were pretty cute though, telling me it would be ok. I even had one of my boys (one of the major stinkers at that) tell me, "Mrs. Wilson, it will be ok. Our parents all made it through it, so will you." Pretty compassionate for a 13 year old boy! Speaking of school...I am back to work as of last Monday! It is going well...as well as it can be being away from my baby all day. We are so lucky because we don't have to take her to daycare until Jan. Pete stayed home with her for the first day, which was so nice for Mommy!! And Lily and Daddy had a good day of bonding! Mom is here for a week right now. (She was finally able to get here after some complications with my Uncle Fritz's heart surgery. He is doing much better and is now in the rehab division of the hospital...so I am sure he will be back home before we know it. That darn stubborn Norwegian blood you know! We are so glad that she could be there by his side through the toughest times...but are REALLY glad to have her with us for a week now!) Bob & Carole, Pete's parents, my Aunt Linda and Larissa Luther have all helped out getting through the few days until she got here. Lacey gets to come for a week after Thanksgiving and then we will hodge podge everyone else's schedule to cover the rest of the time until Christmas break. We are glad to have the basement done so there is a nice place for our guests to stay when they come to hang with Lily. :0) We will be heading back for Thanksgiving and can't wait for everyone to see how much Lily has changed and grown. Until then...here are some more pictures!

8 weeks

Wow...I can not believe that we are already 8 weeks into little miss Lillian's life!!! It seems crazy!! I am back to school next Monday...boo hoo!!!! I am so not ready...but I am so lucky that I don't have to take her to daycare until January thanks to my mom and Lacey each coming out for a week and other relatives and friends in town helping out. That will make going back a little easier...if there is such a thing.
We have been enjoying our growing little girl. She is now up over 10 pounds. She likes to show us how strong she is by holding her head up all the time...we actually have to be careful that she doesn't jump out of our arms. She just started smiling this past week...in response to us anyway. We got lots of sleepy gas smiles before!

We had a fun Halloween. Poor Lily only had 3 costumes to dress up in! She made all 3 of them super cute though!! Hopefully I can still find time to update this after I am back to school! Wish me luck!!! And send many prayers that I don't cry all day when I go back!
