Lilly at 2 Months

It's hard to believe that my baby girl is 2 1/2 months already... The time has flown by! At her 2 month check up she weighed 12 lbs. and was 23 3/4 inches long! She is so alert during the day now. She loves to sit up and see everything that is going on, and she especially loves to see her daddy and her big brothers (and of course mommy). Daddy seems to have the magic touch to bring out Lilly's beautiful gummy smile!

Lilly's favorite toy is her Baby Einstein play mat that cousin Harper is letting her borrow. She smiles, laughs and talks to it every time she is on it. She has pretty good control of her head now and is doing a great job of lifting it up and turning it around during tummy time!

Lilly is also sleeping great! She usually takes 2-3 naps during the day, and will sleep for 6-7 hours straight at night. She usually wakes up to eat around 5 or 6 AM and will go right back to bed when she is done and sleep until around 9 AM!!!

I have enjoyed every minute that I have been able to stay home with Lilly and the boys this summer! I go back to work next week and will work 2 days a week until the boys start back to school on August 24. This will at least let me gradually get back into the groove of things, and knowing that Manuel will be with her during those days should help too. We have a nanny who will watch her at the house when I am back full time. This will be a nice change of pace from day care like the boys are in. Cross your fingers everything works out okay! I interviewed nearly 20 people before I found Brandy. She has been over to the house a couple of times already and met Lilly. Even though Brandy is really nice, it will still be hard to turn my sweet baby over to her all day long.... Oh how I wish I didn't have to work and could stay home with her...!

Bath time! This was Manuel's first time to give Lilly a bath all by himself! It was quite amusing to watch, but he did a great job!!! =0)
