Lilly Rae - Week 32

Sunday, January 20

Does a mother ever get tired of her baby falling asleep in her arms?  I love that Lilly is so comfortable and feels so safe in my arms that she still falls asleep there.  I treasure these moments so much.  

Lilly loves her super soft blanket.

Lilly is 32 weeks old!  She has changed so much!  Look at the difference!

Today was our last day home with Lilly before officially starting back to work.  We wanted to get in as much quality Lilly time as possible.  She is changing so much every day, it's hard to not be around her, but we're fortunate that we have jobs that allow us to spend a lot of time with Lilly and also a daycare situation that we absolutely love. 

Darren went fishing and caught a Lilly pad!

She's still not crawling, but I think it's because she is being stubborn (gee...I wonder where she gets that from)

Lilly loves Maggie.  She really really loves her.  Luckily Maggie also loves Lilly and is so gentle with her.  She let Lilly lay on her and we had to snap some pictures.

It's hard getting back into blogging when I am back at work.  I fully admit that the coming weeks are a bit of a blur and things sort of run together day to day.  Today was our first day back and Lilly's first day back with Kristi.  She was refusing the bottle last week, so I was nervous that she would refuse again today, but she took a small bottle and had some cereal in the morning.  I am glad she is a flexible baby and bounces back to her schedule at Kristi's fairly easily.  She is such a good baby!

Lilly is just like her mommy!  She loves books already...both for reading and eating ;o)

There is a baby boy who visits Kristi's some days named Sam.  He is a few months older than Lilly, but they get along well and have fun together.  I was glad that Lilly was wearing her pretty dress and hair band so she was dressed up for her boyfriend ;o)

Lilly loves playing with bath toys outside of the bath.  She loves to chew on the small plastic ones and she also loves it when we squeeze them and blow the air in her mouth or in her face.  She smiles and laughs.

Lilly is so expressive and vocal.  I wish the blog would cooperate with videos better because I have some great ones of her "singing" but they are too big to upload.  At least I can somewhat capture the many expressions in her pictures.  She also loves to try to grab the camera when I am taking pictures.  I sometimes flip the camera so she can see herself in the screen when I take pictures.  That REALLY makes her reach for it (see below)

Krsiti sent me these pictures with the following captions:

"Lilly listening to Jessica"

"Lilly ignoring Jessica"  (LOL)   She definitely doesn't have the longest attention span ;o)

Lilly's second tooth popped through!  She now has both of her bottom teeth.  I LOVE seeing her smile even more now.  Her tiny little teeth are so adorable.  I wish you could see them in these pictures, but I couldn't catch her with her mouth open enough.
