Lillian-
It's been 4 wonderful months that you have been in our world, and what a wonderful 4 months it has been! Your sweet personality is really shining these days and I can't get enough. You have so much to say with your cooing and babbling these days. I love that you always want to talk, and I hope that you will want to talk to me and share all your secrets with me forever. Along with talking a lot, you also chew on your hands all the time. We have accepted the fact that you prefer your fingers over any pacifier. You also like to rub your slobbery hands on our face when we hold you, but we wouldn't have it any other way! You are a long lean girl. You are wearing mostly 3 month sized clothes. There are a few 0-3 months that you fit in, and 6 month clothes are way too big. We are still using size 1 diapers because the size 2 are too big around your thighs. The doctor said you are right on target with your height and weight, you are in the 50th percentile. You grow, baby girl! :) I decided it was time for you to sleep in your own room, so for about 3 weeks now you have slept in your crib in your room. I am so proud of you and how well you have done! You are a wonderful sleeper (you must get that from me) and I hope that you always will be! Things are still going well at home during the day with your daddy. He said you like to help him hold your bottle, but you are not able to hold it completely on your own yet. All this time you get to spend with him is really making you a daddy's girl and it is so sweet. I started taking you to Gymboree for a class and some days you love it and other days you just tolerate it. We sing songs and do different activities to help you meet your milestones. You rolled over on June 19th from your back to your tummy. Your daddy and I were so surprised that you did it that we almost didn't believe it. You have not rolled over since that day, but we might have scared you too much will all our cheering. You recently found your feet and love to grab and hold on to them. Your daddy took you swimming a few weeks ago and you were not sure about the cold water. Once you got used to the temperature you really liked floating around. Your daddy wants you to take swimming lessons as soon as you are old enough. You still love taking baths, and it is now part of our nightly routine. You seem to know that after your bath it's time to eat and then time for bed. You now rub your eyes when you get tired, and it's the sweetest thing. Your daddy and I think you are so smart and we love watching you learn. We are amazed every day at the new things you do and accomplish. You make us so proud, sweet girl! I hope you always know that you are our pride and joy! I love you more than words can express!
All my love,
