Lily turned 7 months on August 19th, so yes this should technically be more like 7 1/2 months. How I grew this child in my womb for 10 months and she looks absolutely nothing like me is still a daily question I ask myself. She looks exactly like Austin. For real. There is no denying it. And to top it off, boy is she a daddy's girl.
So let see what new tricks we've learned in the past month. Besides putting everything she can get her hands on in her mouth, we are ABOUT to crawl. She hasn't really shown much interest in going mobile yet, which is fine by me. But in the past few days we have noticed her getting braver when it comes to trying to reach something. She's a little princess. Why would you crawl when someone picks you up and carries you everywhere anyway? I mean look at this face: can you blame us?
I am excited to report that she said "mama" 2 nights ago. Everyone keeps telling me that "dada" is usually first, but if she's going to look nothing like me at least I got her to say "mama" first! You should have seen the look on Austin's face. I am pretty sure his heart broke a little right then and there. I don't care if it was mumbling and random rant, I am counting it.
Lily is such a happy and sweet baby. She is very cuddly, especially when she is teething. Which happens to be constantly right now. I wouldn't trade our afternoon cuddles for anything.
We made another trip to Bellows Beach, and she liked it much better this time. We are heading to Kauai next week with the fam for yearly vacation, so I am glad she is liking the beach more now. It gets so sticky and hot, but as long as she has a little shade she is good to go.
Oh ya. How could I forget? She loves to stare at herself in the mirror. She wants to play with the cute rolly polly on the other side. I think this will be when she crawls, to get to herself. ha. This is our nightly routine. Mirror time then bath time then reading (chewing on) books! She now takes a big girl bath and loves loves loves every minute of it.
We can keep it real though too folks. Its not always smiles and laughs. Especially when you won't give her your iphone to chew on. I can see the water damage happening already.
She loves the Dog now! She just wants to touch and yank on him every chance she gets. I am not sure how long he will put up with her, but he seems to tolerate her well.
And most importantly, Aggie Football has started. She sported her A&M tutu like a princess, and loves to watch football with her Daddy.
Ya-Ya arrives today, so we are very excited to see her again! We leave Saturday for Kauai and K-Paw is meeting us there. This will be Lily's first plane trip and vacation so we are crossing our fingers she is going to be a great little traveler :)
