Poor Roary never thought that Lilly could catch up with her. Those days are over!
Congratulations to Jerry, Karen & big sister Heidi! Tessa Elaine Gee was born today at 1:42am, weighing in at 7lbs 12 ounces, 21 inches.
We can’t wait to meet her!
Lilly had her first ‘bad’ fall today. We were in her playroom and she was balancing on one of her toys when she slipped and fell face-first onto the wood floor (of course she missed the play mat!). I watched the whole thing happen and when I picked her up her nose was bleeding. It was so awful! Her nose stopped bleeding and she calmed down quickly, but as soon as she did I was a complete mess – called the doctor and Bill, who asked his parents to come over for some support. I knew she was fine because a few minutes after the incident she was laughing and playing. I just cleaned the blood off and gave her Tylenol and nose drops. First time seeing her bleed – I’d like to think that it will never happen again, but I know that we will see plenty of blood and tears. Especially with our little adventurous girl!
Lilly and I have been enjoying lots of playdates with friends. Today the Beaumont Moms Group met at our house. Here is a photo of the babies in the group – they all range from 6-8 months (click on image to view larger).
Lilly’s first word is definitely ‘mom’ (sounds like ‘mommmmmmmmm’ with a really long m at the end). She has been saying ‘ma’ for several weeks now, but started articulating ‘mom’ the past week or so. She says it whenever she is tired, hungry, upset, etc. I was getting pretty tolerant at listening to her fuss in her crib (no crying) for a bit, but when she sits there and cries ‘mommmmm’ it’s a lot more difficult! Doubt she really knows what it means yet – she does know it gets my attention! 🙂
Update: She started saying “Ma Ma” on Thursday (March 4). Sooo cute!
Lilly LOVES books – as long as she can put them in her mouth or play with them. She used to sit still in my lap while I read to her and now she is too interested in crawling and exploring to just sit. She likes cloth, touch n’ feel, and peekaboo books but looses patience with anything else, so a lot of times I just read aloud. I was reading ‘Goodnight Moon’ to her before naps and bedtime – now I just recite it from memory!
Lately Lilly has been interested in one thing more than anything else: pulling herself up. She loves crawling around and finding different objects to pull herself up on, her favorites being the bouncer, Bill, or me. She’s getting stronger!
Whenever Lilly is working to master a new skill it seems as though her sleep is somewhat disrupted. The last few days she has been working really hard at crawling and pulling herself up, and her naps have been rather eventful. Yesterday was the first time EVER that she didn’t take a morning nap – she decided to move around in her crib for 1-1/2 hours instead. In the afternoon she slept for awhile but woke up several times and sat up. I had to go in, lay her back down, and remind her that it was nap time. Today she wriggled around for 20 minutes and then started to detach the mobile from her crib! Once removed, she fell asleep while sitting up (woke up a few minutes later, confused, and fell asleep on her back).
Thankfully her evening sleep has not been interrupted (yet). She still sleeps from 7:30pm-7am.
Lilly is a busy bee! Mondays we meet with the Beaumont Moms Group (either a formal meeting or to walk the mall), Wednesdays we take a Kindermusik class, Fridays we go to Gymboree, and Sundays are reserved for daddy-daughter swim classes at Goldfish. Since she stays home with me I try to get her out for ‘social time’ once every day. We also see Grandma Judy and Grandpa Bill and try to meet up with Laura & Arbor and Karen & Heidi whenever possible. Next week I’m going to start taking her to the daycare at the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that I can work out. I feel like the first 4 months went by rather slowly, but now that she is so busy and moving about the weeks go by sooo fast!
I just think this is the funniest video ever.
