Nothing is as far away as one minute ago

I cannot believe today, you're one month old. I do believe I will be saying this your whole life; at different points, different ages, and for different reasons.
Its shocking to have something that keeps track of how fast life is right before your very eyes. Theres nothing like your own child growing up that reminds you how time can just slip away; especially because I am enjoying it.

I have found myself talking about "oh, her first birthday party" "her first 4th of July, Halloween, Christmas" "when she can wear dresses", all which excite me to a different degree very much so, but i'm realizing, all of those are going to come so quick. When will you ever just let me hold you in my lap and make meaningless noises at you; and actually LOVE that i'm doing that. When will you ever let me sleep with you whenever I want to; and how I want to. When will you ever let me do exactly that, what I want, for all hours of the day. You wont. Eventually, I will have to take into consideration how you feel, and what you want; and its going to happen before I know it. So while I look forward to all the happiness your life is going to bring, to all of us, I need to constantly remind myself that I will miss all of these days: and I dont want to be saying "oh her first week of life" "oh her first thumb suck" as If I long for them because I didn't remember to enjoy them.

I think thats my biggest fear; that I will begin a day to day routine without stopping to take in all that you are.

I love, all that you are.

you know how it's done

Yesterday you picked up your binky all by yourself.. You held onto it, waved it around, and then put it in your mouth; it was amazing that such a small thing to me, would be well, amazing.

I felt proud of you. Definately not the first time (as the first time I felt proud of you was when we were in labor together, i'd talk to you and tell you come on "baby" its just me and you; and we are going to get through this together. When you came out healthy and made it through quite possibly the most traumatic experience I hope you will encounter for many years to come, I felt SO proud of how strong you were.

Daddy was gone for his first trip away from us this weekend. He had a skate thing in Ohio (he was freezing).

I decided to give you your first REAL bath yesterday. You were screaming before it (all naked and exposed) but once you hit that warm water, it was all heaven to you from there on. You did really well; i'm going to look forward to bath time with you, especially as you get older and we can make it playtime!

You continue to make my heart glow. Your sweet, soft, peaceful face when you sleep captures my heart over, and over.

I love you Lillian<3

Thumbs, Hands, Feet

Today was a BIG day!

We picked up your announcement pictures; they were completely adorable. I still can't believe I took you out at one week of age and did that, you are just so alert and good for your age.

You sucked your thumb for the very first time. You found it and started sucking on it! It was so cute; time will tell if you will be a thumb sucker.

We got your hand and foot prints done today on clay.. let me tell you; you were NOT happy!!
I had to hold you down; it was so sad =( It's not that she was hurting you, you just didn't want to be manipulated.



Then, we went and had some pictures taken with Shannon (she did my maternity pictures)http://shannonlottphotography.com/, they too are adorable! You weren't happy being naked, but you are so photogenic, theres no way anyone could tell you weren't very happy for portions of it.

Happy Late Love Day!

Yesterday was ♥ Valentines ♥ Day!

By the way, you had one outfit for the whole entire week! Everyone wanted you dressed up for Valentines!

Daddy and I went out to PF changs: the wait was an hour and a half long, but we enjoyed dinner once we sat down. You hung out with grandma and grandpa and did just fine while we were gone.I didnt' get to eat my spicy food because it might upset your stomach; but you're worth the loss of that! ;-)

We made cookies and dipped pretzels in chocolate for everyone from us; and you gave your only man in your life his first valentines card from you : ) He had the hugest smile on his face.

Today, I'm going to work for the first time since you've been born (only for 4 hours though, and late late tonight). Dad gets to have a go at this whole mommy thing all on his own. Good luck little one (ha)

Swwet dreams are made of you

We awoke this morning to daddy telling us how much he loves us because of how sweet we looked when we were sleeping; it was very cute; and to wake up to your face IS the sweetest in thing in the world. You sleep so peacefully with no cares in the world.

Tomorrow is Valentines day and yesterday we took your pictures for our cards :) They are very cute! Tomorrow i'll post it in here for my Valentine entry.

This morning you got Grandma Wright good.. she changed your poop diaper, got you all wrapped up like a burrito in your blanket, and you went AGAIN!

Now daddy is changing you AGAIN!

YOU'RE A MACHINE TODAY =P

Stack em' up!

Today was free pancakes at IHOP for national pancake day, and daddy and I went at 8 30 pm, while you hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Wright. I don't even like pancakes much but we made it dessert and it was nice to spend an hour with him.
