It's amazing that it's been a month since Lily was born. In some ways it feels like she's been with us for a long time and in other ways it's hart to believe it's been a month already!
We had a special visitor this weekend - Lily and I got to meet cousin Ethan for the first time. It was fun getting the babies together! I'm sure the three cousins will be quite a crew once they are bigger!
Lily is growing like a weed. She went to the doctor last week and when they weighed her she was almost 10 pounds! She gained over a pound in a half in less than 2 weeks!! The funny thing is that as big as she is, she's still smaller than Jay was when he was born. She's a pretty good baby - we're still working on getting the night time sleeping down. She sleeps a lot during the day and has a hard time settling down at night. Hopefully it will work itself out soon!
She's becoming much more aware of her surroundings. What she must think as her brother runs through the house screaming!! :0) Steven and I had to laugh this weekend as we were getting ready to go out - Jay was running through Lily's room yelling and laughing as we were trying to get him dressed and Lily was just snoozing in the crib. Maybe that's why she doesn't sleep well at night - it's too quiet!
Jay is becoming much more aware the Lily is here to stay and he loves it!! He is such a wonderful kid. He plays so independently and absolutely loves his sister. He talks to her and the other day I saw him cover her up with the "cogers" (i.e.: covers) as she was sleeping. He kisses on her and likes to "hold" her.
Jay still loves playing with his cars and outside. The weather has been so nice it's been great playing outside. Jay loves kicking the ball around the yard and playing in the sand box. The wagon he got for his birthday is getting lots of use!! He's certainly a little boy - rough and tumble and always getting dirty and into stuff ! It's so much fun!
It's certainly never a dull moment around our house!
