My sweet girl keeps growing and here’s week 17 to prove it.

Her reaction to my suggestion of staying a baby forever

The full body shot

I'm getting better at catching proof of the amazing smiles

This is what we found when we took her out of the car Saturday

I bought her that ball when we were on our walk on Friday.  That ball made something click and now she grabs things.  It’s like she finally realized what those things on the ends of her arms were for. Besides you know sucking or holding Mommy’s fingers.

Lily turned 16 weeks old yesterday and as usual I took a bunch of pictures and emailed the best ones off to Waldo (my Hubby).  His response was that I needed to retake them.  Lily looked like The Nanny.  Has mostly kidding.

A little while later Lily’s outfit was covered in cat hair so I decided to change her and in the process humored Waldo and took more pictures. I’m so glad I did.  I got some great shots.

A little smile

And just so you can see The Nanny outfit.

I don't think Lily liked it either. 🙂

Today Lily is 14 weeks old.  It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant and writing lists of stuff we needed to buy before she got here.  At the same time it feels like she’s been living with us forever.

Today while I was trying to get some pictures while Lily had some tummy time on my bed she did an amazing thing.

turning over

You wanted to be picked up and got mad that I wanted just one more picture, so you showed me.  You turned over!!  So I put back on your tummy and clapped.  Yay Lily!!!  And then

twice

You did it again!

Way to go kiddo.
