September Wrap-Up

It has been a great month and Lily has grown and changed so much! She is now 5 1/2 months old. She weighs 14 lbs and is 24 inches long. She has started babbling more and this week has begun saying "dadada" a lot - she acts so proud of herself like she is really telling you something important. She has also begun playing "where's Lily" by covering her face up with her blanket and then pulling it off. She does, however, forget how to get it off sometimes and begins to cry. I have a video of this I will post if I ever get it off the camera! She is almost sitting up by herself - now she can balance for about a minute before toppling over.

We finally weaned her off the 3-4 a.m feeding and I think that has really helped in her sleeping. She is down to waking up only once for her paci and then gets up for breakfast about 5:30 or 6.

We are constantly amazed - and entertained - by this precious little girl and are so thankful to be so blessed by God.
