All Fours!

This week has been full of accomplishments for Lilli (just in time for her half-year birthday this coming Thursday)! She's mastered getting on all fours and even pulled herself up to a standing position in her crib over the weekend (yikes)! While we're not quite ready for the standing/walking yet, we are excited to see Lilli prepare to crawl. I'll be spending the next few days crawling around the house myself and doing some extra baby proofing!

Five Months

Today Lilli celebrated her 5 month birthday (or should I say yesterday...it is 2am)! Month 4 was full of milestones...starting solids (she does great with cereal and pears, but still isn't loving any veggies - I hope it isn't the way I'm preparing them, because it takes a bit of work to make your own baby food!), scooching, and sitting up on her own for brief periods of time! We're very proud of our girl! The weather is also starting to get nicer, so Lilli has been able to experience a bit of the outdoor world without the shield of the BundleMe and layers of clothing. Soon we'll be able to go out and sit in the grass. We're looking forward to seeing her reaction to all of the new textures the outdoor world will provide her with. Here's to new adventures!

Adventures in Cereal

Now that Lilli is a big 4 month old, we decided to dive into cereal (with a spoon)! We have been mixing some rice cereal with breastmilk in bottles at night for a while now to help with her acid reflux, but we thought it was time to see how she did with utensils. She does an awesome job of mashing the cereal with her tongue and got the hang of it very quickly. It was a messy adventure, but definitely a fun one! (sorry the quality is grainy - we didn't think about how dark it was in the room when we captured this!)

4 Months

Wow...time is flying! Lilli is 4 months old today!

Reading already?!

Well...not really, but Lilli just loves her soft play book from her friend Nathan! She especially enjoys the page with all of the fishies. They're so colorful and really capture her attention. This girl will be reading in no time the way she's growing! But for now, we can't get enough of these adorable moments!

Three Months

Wow! Our baby girl is three months old already! This month we successfully rolled over, started grasping things like rattles and small toys, and babbling like crazy! It's been a fun month! We are eager to see if Lilli will sit up on her own in month four as she's been working very hard at it!

Ocean Wonders

For Christmas, my parents got Lilli a really neat projector that plays water sounds and music, as well as displays an ocean scene on the wall or ceiling. Last night after story time, I put Lilli on my knees and projected the image up on the ceiling. This was her reaction...(she's never "talked" so much in one sitting)!
