What's up Lily?

Lily is now 4 months old. Oh, how the time has flown by...she is getting big, strong, and more expressive every day. Some things that she accomplished this month are: rolling over front to back, sitting supported, laughing (she is a hard one to get a laugh out of) and she babbles up a storm when she is in the mood (church on Sunday to be exact). Lily has also been sleeping through the night, it is very rare for her to wake up throughout the night, which I am very grateful for. She love to be cuddled and still loves to be swaddled while sleeping. Basically she is 13 pound cutie putootie!

Here are some recent pictures of her:

Getting dressed for the day. Look at those fat rolls, it is about time she got some of those!

Sophie, Zoe and I made princess hats the other day and Tyler thought that Lily needed to wear Zoe's..."seriously, do you really have to take a picture of this??"

"Oh, okay, I guess I'll give you a big, gummy grin!"

Budding Artist

Zoe has started drawing a lot lately. She loves the dry erase board in Sophie's room. Here are some of her recent creations.

Tyler is the one with a scribble on his chin (that's his goatee), I'm the one on the left and Zoe is the one she has her hand on.

I love it when they start drawing. I can't help but feel proud and hope that one day they will love art as much as I do!

Blue Eyed Beauties

I caught Sophie and Zoe entertaining Lily the other day. It was so cute that I had to snap a picture. When I put the pic on my computer I was blown away by these beautiful creations! I am so blessed to have these three blue eyed beauties.

On another note. I feel the need to address the dangers of twirling. It should really be classified as an extreme sport...
This is the result of twirling, loss of balance and a bed breaking the fall. My poor Zoe has been walking around with a black eye for a week! So please use caution when twirling in confined spaces, better yet, only twirl outside, on the grass, away from any sharp or hard objects. LOL

2 Months

It's hard to believe it has been two months already. Lily is getting so big! At her two month check up she weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 4 oz and was about 22 inches long. She has come a long way since her 5 lb 8 oz entry into this world.

She is still a quiet baby for the most part. Although she will let you know when she is hungry with one very loud cry. At night she is sleeping from about 9-10 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. That makes for one happy Mama! I love when they start sleeping through the night. She is smiling more every day and cooing too.

Sophie and Zoe have been such good big sisters to Lily. They love to talk to her while they hang out on the floor playing. They are also anxious for her to start walking and talking. I think they are ready for another playmate to join in the chaos.

Here are some pictures of Lily at 2 months:

That smile melts my heart!

That eyebrow has amazing height! And those lips...oh my...she is gorgeous. Although I am a bit biased ;}

She was blessed by her daddy on Sunday. Tyler gave a beautiful blessing and the spirit was so strong. Lily is truly a blessing from the Lord!!!!

I love my girls!

Mischievous Zoe

A couple of days ago I was sitting in the front room folding laundry while Sophie and Zoe were coloring at their table in Zoe's room. Zoe came walking into the front room and out of the corner of my eye I see that she has a marker with no lid. I tell her to put a lid on it before she wrote on the wall or furniture. And this was her reply, "Mom ma, I decorated my face!"

I couldn't help but laugh! I was just relieved that it was a washable marker. Guess that's the last time I let them color in their room!
