Lilly's New Tricks

Hi Everyone,

Well Mommy gets to stay at home with Lilly and Twiggy today. Our nanny is sick with a stomach bug. :( Not good for nanny. I hope she feels better.

This weekend starting Thursday Michael went to Laredo for a boy's weekend. He seemed to have a lot of fun. They grilled, played cards, looked for wild boar, deer, and coyotes and of course drank beer. As for the 3 girls we bunkered down for survival weekend. Friday Lilly decided she was not going to sleep for 3 hrs and instead screamed and cried during that time. Last resort was to hold her like Viviana our nanny does. It worked! Out like a light. The rest of the weekend was smooth sailing.

Sunday Lilly and I went to Starbucks and met a few of my friends with their kids there. Sarretta, Liesbet, and Chelsea. It's always fun to hang out with them. We have already planned a Fiesta Parade as our next meeting in 3 weeks.

Wednesday is a big day for Lilly. She gets to meet 1 set of Aunts and Uncles. And her 2 cousins! Plus PopPop and Mimi will be here too. The Franchella's and Lehman's are here for Easter Weekend. We are VERY Excited!!

New things Lilly is doing these days: She can ride in her umbrella stroller with no assistance. She loves to grab her rattle, top, anything available to her. The Tummy Tub is still her favorite!! She loves Baby Einstein McDonald on the Farm (Funny I remember watching that with Emma in the car to her 2 yr bday party). Walks to the Shops with Viviana she seems to enjoy as well. Lilly sometimes can figure out how to put her binky back in her mouth. I have to say, a clever little girl!

Lilly is 2 months old today

Hi All,



Well Lilly is officially 8 weeks old today. How time goes by. Normally I would say what a great day for the Griffindor, but we had a MD appointment and with that came 6 shots! 1 was oral, 3 were combined. So she really only had 3. Poor Lilly. I have never seen her so hurt and upset. She was laughing and so happy and then the next second she is screaming so loud. I almost cried. My Dad was there for support. He ended up feeding her a bottle. This of course made all things better.

So the shots given today were: Rotavirus, DTaP, 2nd shot of HepB, Hib, Polio, and PCV. What does this mean? Well I guess in my mind she will not get any of these diseases and she can go to school! Yea Lilly. You’re on your way.

Ok the most important thing her measurements. She weighed in at 11lbs. Oink Oink on the breast milk. She is 23 inches long. And the chart says she is 75% above average for girls her age. Hmm are we seeing a model or basketball player in our future Griffindor? And her head circumference is 38.0 cm. She has a tiny head on the charts for girls. Which means she got this from one of her parents...Michael? A tiny head, but a big brain. So Lilly is doing great!

What has she learned in 2 months: She coos, she laughs and smiles. She can hold her rattles. She can stand in her Tummy Tub. Lilly loves Yo Gabba Gabba, Olivia, and Wonder Pets on Nick Junior. She loves her vibrating chair and to be wrapped like a burrito in it. She has to have her binky at all times! Our sleep pattern is lasting longer through the night. Thank you Jesus! And Twiggy and our little Griffindor are slowly bonding. I would say it has been a great 2 months.

I cannot believe in the next 2 months she will be starting to eat pureed foods.

Lilly is 10lbs

Hi Everybody,

Well I am 2 weeks late on an entry because work is kicking my butt. Yesterday if I was a celebrity I would of been admitted into Mount Sinai Hospital for exhaustion! I thought I had a bug but I was asleep for almost the entire day and night. I felt horrible. So mom took Lilly out just in case I was truly sick.

Lilly is definitely 10lbs+ now. She is getting to be such a big girl. She has so much more personality. She laughs now and coos a lot. Her favorite program is on her favorite channel Nick Junior Yabba Gabba Gabba. It reminds me a lot of TeleTubbies. Which I was a huge fan of when I traveled to London bc nothing else was on but BBC news. Lilly LOVES her nanny, Viviana. She goes for a stroll everyday. And they get to watch movies on Lifetime and Showtime. She has taken in every love story that involves an affair or murder or Twilight and ET.

Twiggy got a puppy cut on Friday. It took a good 10 years off of her. She feels so much better now. She is doing a lot better with Lilly as well. Yesterday she ran up her dog steps to the couch and sat by Lilly's boppy chair hanging out. We really do not have to worry about when Shih Tzus attack anymore.

As for fun things with Lilly last week we went towards New Braunfels and took Lilly to the Safari. She slept the entire time. Which may have been a good thing bc Mommy almost got killed by and Ostrich. If GiGi had not screamed the Ostrich would of been pecking my eye out and a baby donkey may have got injured as well. Today we are either hitting the San Antonio ZOO or SeaWorld. We will let daddy choose.
