Lily Update

Since it's been so long since our last post - and Miss Lily grows and changes so fast - we thought a "Lily Update" was in order. So...here's the latest on our little Lily Bug...

Teeth

Lillianna has a total of 4 teeth so far - 2 bottom and 2 top. She has 2 more top teeth that are starting to poke through....and that has NOT been fun!

Crawling/Standing/Cruising

She has quickly advanced from crawling (which she now does at warp speed) to pulling herself up, standing (even on her own with no support!) and cruising while holding on to furniture, couches, etc. She's testing her balancing skills by letting go and standing on her own for longer and longer. At this rate, who knows, she may be walking before long!!

Talking

No real words, yet ... at least not that we can identify. She repeats sounds and babbles a lot - things like "Dat", "Babababa", "Mamamama" but I think these are just sounds and not actual words because she says them randomly and they don't seem to be associated with anything in particular. It's still adorable, though!!

Growing

While still our tiny little peanut, Miss Lily is still growing by leaps and bounds. At her last appointment a couple months ago, she was just over 14 pounds and 24" long. She's in the 15th percentile for weight and the 60th percentile for length. She has another appointment at 1 year (in a month) so we'll see how much she's grown!

Of course we HAVE to end a Lily post with some more Lily pictures!! Here are a few of the latest Lily photos...
