Lily's Stories

Again I couldn't figure out how to shorten this, but she tells a pretty good story toward the end of the clip. She is quite the talker.

Lily's First Run at Cereal

This video is kinda long....I couldn't figure out how to shorten it...The 1st 2 minutes are the best...She definately gets more on the bib than in her tummy...but that is in part to the rookie spoon operator too!!

I am growing like a weed!!!I went to the doctor for my 4 month checkup and I am 15 lb 9 oz...90th percentile and 26 inches long...98th percentile, and my head is in the 90th percentile too. I had a little bout with a fever a few weeks ago...mommy thought it might be my teeth because I am a chewing and drooling fool!!! Since then Daddy has been sick...going on 2 weeks now!! It is no fun because he doesn't even want to hold me so he doesn't make me sick! Mommy and I have had lots of quality time together!! I am still loving daycare...and they are still loving me!! Mommy starts coaching basketball this next week so we'll see if she still has time to update this!! I hope so!!

Daddy had a wash cloth on my head trying to help my fever

Telling Mommy stories

4 month old

We had a good rest of the Christmas break!  We went down to St. Martin's on Sunday for our Christmas party with Joanie and Marg.  Lily got to meet her Great Aunt Julie and Cousin Tiffany for the first time.  She enjoyed all the action!
Monday morning came way too soon as we had to head back to the East side!  It was sooner than Mommy wanted to go, but we wanted to make it to the Wilson Christmas that got rescheduled for Monday because of the weather.  That was fun and again Lily had fun watching all the action!  She got taken care of very well by her helpful cousins, especially Angela and Mary!!  They thought she was pretty cool!  Angela even dove right in when Lily had a blow out and poop up to her neck....no exaggeration!  She got her first bath in Grandma Carole's sink too!
We spent the next week just getting our fill of snuggle time!!  We watched Pete ref a game in Beresford...it worked out nice because Lily and I got to visit with Linda and Phil.  Lily was having withdrawls from her Auntie Linda!!  Lily is getting to be quite a talker and giggler!!  She thinks she is SO big and loves to stand and sit up.  If she isn't sitting up, she will try!  Despite Mommys trying to keep her from being a thumb-sucker, she is!  She will suck on whatever she can get to her mouth actually!  She loves the edges of her blankies! Uh-oh!  She also LOVES the TV!  What are we going to do when she gets to be a teenager!  She finds it no matter where she is in the room!  We have started having a lot of "quiet time" around the house with the TV off just so she doesn't watch it!
We rang in the new year at a friend's house...and Lily was long gone by midnight! (Thank goodness!)  She was sleeping all night, but just recently started getting up about every 3 hours again! UGH!
On Monday, she started daycare for the first time!  I thought I did pretty good only crying until noon!  She is at a WONDERFUL place called Bullfrogs and Butterflies.  It is an older couple who takes care of 6 babies...4 months (Lily) to 18 months. They are super!!  The first day we dropped her off we had pictures waiting for us on our email by the time we got to school!  And then got 2 more emails throughout the day.  We get a few everyday!  I will attach the pictures so you can see how much she loves it.  I am sure the action of the other tikes keep her well entertained!  She only had to go to daycare for 3 days this week though due to the weather and school being called off Thurs and Friday. (This is a MAJOR RARITY in Sioux Falls!)  I was delighted for the extra snuggle time, but I think Lily missed her friends!!
On Saturday Lily turned 4 months old already!!  Can you believe it??  It is crazy how fast time goes!  Hope you all enjoy the pictures!
