Lily Kate at 4 Months

Oh my, this is so long overdue! Lily Kate turned 4 months old on February 7. My how time flies and my, there is very little time to blog about it. She is such a joy and such a sweet baby. Lily greets everyone with a huge smile whenever she sees them. I love to watch her take everything in during the day. Lily Kate's favorite thing in the world to do is cuddle and watch Cole. He could keep her entertained for hours...and he loves doing it! Lily is meeting all of her milestones. She can roll from her tummy to her back, however she prefers to be pampered and have us roll her over. She laughs the cutest laugh you have ever heard but you have to work total magic to hear it. Lily can hold her own toys and is now putting everything in her mouth. I am already ready for that stage to be over! At the Dr this week Lily weighed 13.5 lbs and is 23.5 inches long. So, it looks like she is going to be a little girl! On average Lily Kate takes 3 naps a day and still wakes up a couple of times each night (what happened to the month of sleeping 8 hours??). She is getting better and better about putting herself to sleep and does wonderfully during the day. She can put herself back to sleep most of the time during the night too - unless she is hungry. Cole loves his little sister so much and is constantly hugging and kissing her or holding her hand. He wants to teach her everything but is still proud of the fact that she can't do all that he can do just yet. I heard him telling her this morning, "You can drink milk from a big cup too when you are really big like me." Lily has had her first high fever incident and first ear infection....BOO! Her temperature was anywhere from 101.5-102.3 for 2 days. So scary and so sad. Even when we knew she was feeling so yucky she would smile at us and cuddle. She is really starting to be fun and playful and we are all loving watching her learn and grow.

We adore you sweet Lily, I pray you always know that!
