Lilly is 4 months old

Well we went to our MD visit today.
6 shots total. 3 were combined.
13lbs 8ounces 50% she will be a skinny girl
26 inches long 90%, she is super tall
40.7cm head

She did really well at the doctor's office. Dr. Hagee is off on maternity leave so Dr. Rhame is taking over. He said she could start eating #1 baby foods and rice cereal. So tonight we did rice cereal which was Oatmeal and Bananas. She seemed like she liked it but then again I just saw the video on it. :) We feed her a teaspoon about an hr before each bottle. If she wants more she can have more. If she does not want any than we move on. We just tried Pear. She gave that 2 bites. I brought the bottle of milk out and she was waving her arms all excited.

Lilly did her first official roll last Wednesday, May 12. I was at the airport. Now she is a pro at it. Well she can roll from her back to  her tummy but cannot return to starting position. We will get there I am sure.

Lilly also likes her silky security lamb, bear, and mouse. She runs the silky blanket all over her face and hmms while she gets ready to pass out. I will try to get that on video tomorrow. If we take her out and she is ready to sleep we just put the silky blanket on top of her head. Works every time. She is out cold.

Lilly still likes her Penguin friend. But she cannot sleep with him right now. Considering she can only roll 1 way we take everything out of the crib when it is sleepy time.

We removed the car seat adaptor to the Bob stroller. Lilly is a big girl now and can ride in her stroller sitting now.

May 3 2010

Hi Everyone,

Well what is new? Lilly can turn to her side. Did I mention this already? She turns and then she teeters "What am I suppose to do now Mommy?" and she just decides rolling to her back is easier than rolling over her arm. We are getting there.

During bath she pulls herself up in the bath chair. She cannot make it up all the way but she will be there soon. And in the tummy tub she would rather stand then sit.

This week we got her a jumparoo. She LOVES it. It is the entertainment in the room. It is great before bed time too. So far the trend has been put her in this thing and she sleep through the night. YEA!!!

Mommy has been sick. First my thyroid meds were completely off so I pretty much crashed out (slept all weekend). Tomorrow is the endocrinologist apointment. And then I had a super sore throat. Strep negative now checking for mono but I am positive that will be neg I already had it. Who knows. I feel much better.

Tuesday (tomorrow) Cappi and Great Grandma will be in town for mother's day. Dad is bringing in his clubs to get his golf game on.

I am off to bed for some needed rest.

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....

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!
