Lilly is 3 months 1 week

Hi All,

Yes yes I know..it's has been a month and no news. Sorry. I have been consumed by work and then when I get home I want to spend my time with Lilly. Currently she is in her swing taking a little nap before her last bottle and bed time.

What is new? Well we went to see if Lilly would ever latch on..the nurse looked at me then Lilly and said why fix what's not broken..stay married to your pump. Lilly weighed in at 13lbs 7 ounces today. The nutritionist tested my breast milk. For formula you are getting 20 calories no matter what. With breast milk anywhere from 25-30 calories. I came in at 30. She said the normal mom pumps 32 ounces a day. I am pumping 42 ounces a day. so far 16 bags frozen. Nice.

Ok enough of the detail junk lets talk Lilly. About a month ago I said she rolled. Well that was a mistake. She did roll but it was an accident. She is learning and should be able to flip in the next month or two. Right now she can turn to her side. I say Yea!!

She is a very serious baby. It take s a lot to impress this little tinker. She loves when you sing to her otherwise you better be standing on your head blowing bubbles out of your nose for a laugh.

We took the TV away. After everyone told me NO TV and then Liesbet through in ADHD I stopped the tele. However, Lilly put up a good fight. In as many screams and kicks for 2 days she tried to assure me that TV was good and Yo Gabba Gabba was educational. To substitute we got a mega rainforest jungle gym mat. It has been pretty entertaining for her. We also have her in the bouncy chair that hangs from the door. Now this is very entertaining bc things light up when I touch them Mommy. We have started the Peter Rabbit series. she gets a bottle anywhere between 6:45-7:30. We read a book and then bedtime. No more of this 11pm stay up watching CNN and Rambo with Daddy.

Lilly does have a very flat head. But what can you do about that. Put a helmet on her which I am not going to do. I figure wants she rolls the flat head will go away.

And for our other love Twiggy turned 12. Yes we celebrated. She got a blanket and new dog house.

More to come....
