o9: 2 months old

Lily has her two-month appointment today. I don't think they'll give her the vaccs since she has a cold. She is getting better. She'll still cry a little in her sleep, or have difficulty breathing from the congestion, but it's slowling receding. I'm glad that throughout this whole thing, the only one who had the fever was me. I give her medicine regularly, but I still feel awful that I got her sick.

She turned two months yesterday. We did a two-month dance around the room where I almost tripped from the swing, and my mother sang "happy second month to you." I still can't believe how fast she grows. I'm now putting her in 3/6 month clothes, and that was about a week before she was even two months. Her 0/3's are starting to be a bit snug, mostly because she's so long and pudgy round the middle.

She gave me a face yesterday when she was in her swing that her father makes. He usually makes it when I've said something ridiculous and he's waiting for me to catch it. Just stares at me with one eyebrow raised. She makes the same face.


I haven't slept...

o8:

It's a nice feeling when your child holds your hand...even if it is because they fidget so much. Lily's getting sick. I feel like a bad mommy; it's because I'm sick (this time with a very bad cold) and yesterday I thought it was just severe allergies and I cuddle with her a lot. She was a bit cranky. She's used to lots of lovin', and I couldn't give her that today. I could only pick her up to feed an burp her as I don't want her getting worse.

I love holding hands with my daughter. She looks so much like me now...with her daddy's forehead and ears.

o7: A message from Lily

Lily says:


"teehee"


We took pictures on Valentine's day, and on the last picture she took, she was cheesing just like the above. I get the portraits on March 8, so when I do, I'll definitely post them.

o6: She'll be 7 weeks tomorrow

Lily's gotten so big! She has three chins, she so fat. :) She also looks more and more like me each day.

Things she does:
A VERY decent half-push-up when she is face down and doesn't want to sleep
Cries on her back if she's sleepy (she only likes sleeping on her stomach, her doing, not mine)
Gurgles and coos. Sometimes they sound like actual words--such as "arroz" (rice), "agua" (water), and "jugo" (juice)---ironically, they're all in Spanish.
Cries when you take the bottle away from her when she's not ready, even though I have to to burp her.
"Talks" to you. Even when it's not the best time to talk---as in when she's got a bottle in her mouth.
Yells to get your attention...

She's too damn cute.
