I guess we skipped month 3...sorry!

So Lilly is almost 4 months old and I can't believe how quickly time is flying. She is so amazing and it is great to be her mommy. Things are still going very well; she has conquered her fear of the bottle, is working through her frustration with stoplights, and is working on crawling. Lily began rolling over a while ago, the first time being when she was about 2 weeks old and revisiting it again in April. But recently she has been doing it all the time and now gets stuck on her tummy. She has figured out how to push with her legs, scooting around the floor on her face, lol! Also, she seems to understand that her arms need to help so she pulls on what ever she is laying on... She hasn't put together that she has to stay in the push up position to make the whole thing work, but she will get there soon I think.

People keep asking how big she is but she hasn't had an appointment since April so my best guess right now is about 13.5 lbs, I know...she is really small. Nonetheless, I can't believe how big she is getting.

Life has been super busy lately with me working split days and James ever erratic schedule days just seem to turn into weeks. Lilly is so lucky to have so much family so close! My mom and sisters watch her while I am at work and Auntie Kelli comes by weekly for visits. My little sister, Brittanni, is great with her and so is Ryan- my moms best friends 20 yr old son. I can't even say how much I appreciate their help, it is nice to know that if I need to do something that requires all of my attention that I have so much help.

Before I get to the pictures I just have to add that Lilly got to spend some time with her cousins Scarlett and Susie as well as with Kourtney (Scarlett's BFF) this last week. It was so much fun to see all of them together at the different stages of babyhood- Kourtney is 18 mos and S&S are 1(ish). It will be great when they are a little bit older to have so many cousins all the same age. Tomorrow we are going to meet my friend Victoria's new baby boy, Wyatt. And next week my cousin Christina will be coming out with Alex who is 5 weeks younger than Lilly. And speaking of cousins... Lilly also has a cousin that is 10 months old who she got to play with last month at my dad's house, Madeline. So many babies!

She makes so many hilarious faces

and has learned how to stick her tongue out 
I love her big "I'm so funny smile"
and she is learning how to laugh!

And she has found her feet :)
