Lily and Braden are MFEO!!!

So I've decided that Lily and her little buddy Braden are totally Made For Each Other :o) I just love love love to see them interact week after week. Every Monday we get together for a "playdate" and a few times a week we go for walks in the park. I just know they will be best of friends. I know I've said it before, but it's so nice to have someone with a baby the same age as Lily. Jill and Braden have become like family to us. Me and Lily are so lucky to have such great people in our lives. We love them! Here are some of my favorite B and L moments!!!

Lily's 3rd Month

Lily's 3rd month was an eventful one. The third month had the most transitions. When she turned 3 months she moved into her own room. As the month has progressed she's gradually dropped her night time feeding. She usually makes it 9 -12 hours straight before waking up! Most recently (at about 3.5 months) she turned from her back to her tummy! Baby girl has strong core muscles! I have adorable video of her doing it!

Also in the third month my mom, my grandma, Lily, and I took professional photos. All four generations. I know it will be a great memory for Lily when she's older. My grandma was 50 when I was born and my mom (Lily's grandma) is also 50 (next month). The day we went in to take the pictures we also got to take some of Lily by herself, and they came out so cute! Below are the pictures.

Baptism Week

Lily got baptized this week. She did so good! I took a bottle to the church and fed her when she fussed and then she ended up going right to sleep. She slept through the entire ceremony. It was so sweet :o) When I walked up to the priest I said "she's super asleep", hoping that he would be gentle with the pouring of the water, but no such luck. HE SOAKED her head, but she didn't even bat and eye! Then we stood in line and he came up and rubbed oil ALL OVER her little head, but she still didn't wake up! She woke up at the end of the ceremony when they rang some bells/chimes. She did very good, like the precious angel that she is. The baptism was separated into two ceremonies, one was on Tuesday and the other was Saturday. On Tuesday it was the anointment, she did ok that day. Lily is the luckiest baby to have such wonderful Godparents! Benny and Therese got her her plaid dress, her baptismal gown, her after party dress, a beautiful white embroidered blanket, an adorable white embroidered burp cloth for the ceremony, her little baptism candle and countless other goodies! I look forward to the day when Lily can spend quality time with them. It's such a blessing to have such wonderful people in my life and to be able to have them in Lily's life. They are truly a gift and we love them so much. Here are some pictures of little miss Lily during her big week!

Today was a pretty low key day. I decided that after yesterday Lily needed a day to relax and just hang out at home. I took her into her nursery and sat her in her bumbo and we "played". I showed her some of her toys. She's never really played with anything before. The "baby keys" were a HIT! She's so cute I can hardly stand it! Everyday she learns more and more, but today was the first day that I really felt like she was really interacting with me and her surroundings. She reaches out for my hands and face. She follows things with her eyes and grabs at them. I sat her in her swing and my dad started talking to her and she just started chatting away! She's getting such a unique personality and it's awesome seeing how she changes everyday. She's so loved :o)

Here's some video of Lily with her keys and of little miss chatter box!
