1 month update & photos

It is amazing how quickly babies change! Lilly is really growing these days & seems MUCH longer. She finally fills out her newborn sized clothes and we are phasing out the newborn diapers (at least I am going to see how the size 1's fit this weekend)! At 1 month, Lilly weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 3/4" long. I am guessing that at almost 7 weeks now, she is 8 pounds & 21-22" long!

Every day, Lilly is more & more alert and for longer stretches. She does still sleep quite a bit during the day with no set nap times yet. Naps during the daytime are still mostly with me holding her or in the carseat (thankfully, she likes to ride & doesn't mind the carseat at all). We are working on sleeping in her bed during the day time right now (she is there now!) and it is SLOWLY getting better.
As much as I love holding her & cuddling with her, I can't get stuff done around the house that I need to as easily while I am holding her & lets face it...she isn't going to be held all day at daycare, so I would rather her get used to this fact with me rather than in a strange place with strangers!For the most part, she is going to bed around 10pm & sleeping until 2:30-3:30. She eats & goes back to sleep until about 5:30-6. Most days, she goes back to sleep & doesn't get up for the day until about 8-8:30!

Big yawn!
About 1 week ago, Lilly started smiling. She is doesn't like to give out smiles too easily, but boy when she does, they light up the room!! A lot of times, you can tell that she wants to smile but much like Brayden is just going to be stubborn & not do it...just because you want her to! Because of this, I still haven't gotten a picture of Lilly's adorable, toothless smile!

Sort of a smile
Lilly is also really starting to enjoy her play mat. She will sometimes be content to lay on it & play for 20-30 minutes, batting at the toys & cooing when she makes the music start!
Unlike Brayden, Lilly LOVES her paci!!
Lilly enjoys sitting in the bouncy seat while we eat dinner.
