Lily Update

I can't believe my baby girl is 8 months old already! Seems like just yesterday I was still pregnant. I'm sure she'll be married and moved out before I know it!



Here's just a few things that Lily has been up to the last few weeks:

  • She still loves bath time. It is her favorite time of the day! I still haven't figured out if she likes the bath part (she definitely does with all the splashing and laughing that goes on) or if she is just tired and likes knowing that it will soon be bedtime more.
  •  She is finally sitting up! She refused to sit up before two weeks ago. I kept telling everyone that I knew she could do it and that she was strong enough, she was just being stubborn and not wanting to. Sure enough right after Christmas she decided it was fun and hasn't stopped since. She can sit up for hours without falling over.
  • She has had some issues with reflux that seem to be getting worse. It seems her medicine will work for a few weeks and then we have to change things around and up her dose because she starts spitting up again (and by spitting up I mean projectile, all over the place, spitting up). I have also changed her formula a few times and it seems we might have found a winner, but we shall see. I think that every time and then she starts majorly spitting up again.
  • She has started to pick food up with her fingers and stick it in her mouth all on her own. She also drinks out of her sippy cup by herself. She always gives me a big smile when she does it, I think she loves feeling like a big girl.
  • She has started to push up on her hands and knees when on her belly, she is figuring out that she might actually be able to get that cord she is eyeing. Between scooting and rolling she is definitely mobile. She may not move fast, but she can get to something if she wants. I found that out twice this week with the clean laundry and the cord on the playstation. I am going to have to start watching her much more closely when I set her on the floor!
  • She is still sleeping through the night wonderfully and still takes her naps, as long as we don't mess with her schedule she is a very happy girl!

We love this little girl so much and could not imagine our lives without her. We just wish she could stay so small and sweet forever ;)
