Pop that collar

This is for "Uncle Ben", who says I don't care about Dodger anymore. Look how happy he is in his coat. He's even doing his superman pose...

2 Month Checkup

Today was Lily's 2 month checkup and she is still growing by leaps and bounds. She weighed in at 14 lbs 7.5oz and was 24 inches long. She is still off the charts percentile wise for both weight and height! She had her first shots today but we only did two. She only cried for a minute and she seems to be feeling fine so far. She's sitting in my lap as a type this. She is awake for most of the day now and besides a 3 hour nap, she generally only sleeps on car rides or when she is in the sling. The past two nights she has slept 8 hours, then fed, then gone back down for another 2-3 hours. I really hope she keeps this up, it is so nice for me! I feel like we are past the initial feeling of being in survival mode and are settling into a new normal. Phil and I are both enjoying our sweet little baby so much!

Little Girlfriends

We've been going to the Arboretum at least once a week lately. The weather has been absolutely beautiful, and it is nice to get out and meet friends there for lunch. I love that I have friends with little girls so close in age! It is so fun to see them interact with each other. Lily started crying when I put her down, which caused Alyssa and Harper to burst into tears as well. Luckily they calmed down for a few pictures.

Alyssa wants a bigger bow and decides to take matters into her own hands.

8 Weeks Old

We've discovered that we can suck on our hands (loudly), kick and splash in the bath, actually notice the toys suspended on the play mat, and are smiling a lot more often (especially on her changing table for some reason.) She's also in 3-6 month clothes for the most part. Nights are getting much better, and she generally goes anywhere from 5-8 hours, then back down for another 2-3. I'll take that! Here she is, 8 weeks old, hamming it up for the camera:

Lots in Common

What do Dodger and Lily have in common? Yes, I think they are both pretty cute, but that's not it. Drumroll please! They can both roll over. Yee haw! Dodger is a lot faster and better, and he doesn't cry during tummy time either, but he also couldn't roll over at 7 weeks old. I called Phil to tell him about her new trick, and she showed me that it was not an accident, and proceeded to flop over again. Good job little baby. You can start your triathlon training soon.

Forced to be Friends

I think he's a cute little guy myself...

Lily hasn't quite come around yet though.
