We've been very busy for that last month and Lily has been growing like a weed! She's already grown out of her newborn clothes and is wearing 3 to 6 month sizes. Her little personality is starting to come out as well! She is so sweet and happy. She coos and squeals with delight all the time, especially when Mommy and Daddy are talking to her. Last week she started at Gymboree and did really well. She loved looking at all the other babies and really seemed to enjoy the songs and activities.
At 6 weeks old Lily made her third appearance on local TV! My station sent a crew to our home to do a live update on my maternity leave. Lily was good as gold until they said stand-by! She would start crying, almost on cue! It was too funny. I'll try to post the video.
The first week of August, my cousin Liz came to visit from Pensacola. We had a fun time digging through boxes of old pictures. She was such a help with Lily. It was so nice having her here. She just graduated from The University of West Florida and is getting ready to go on several job interviews in California, so I'm glad she got to visit before she gets too busy with her PR/Marketing career!
August 7th was our neighborhood National Night Out party and Lily's first time meeting many of our neighbors. We are so blessed to live in a neighborhood with so many friendly people!
Ben's parents came down from West Virginia last week to see their new granddaughter for the first time. Of course, they fell in love with her! I don't think Ben's Mom put Lily down for more than 5 minutes the entire time she was here!
This week we had to say good-bye to two of the best friends we've made in Shreveport, Dave Schwartz and his wife Shannon Slatton-Schwartz. Dave, who was the Sports Director at my station, took a new job at KARE in Minneapolis. This is such an amazing opportunity for him and we are thrilled for his success even though we know we're going to really miss him. Shannon was our Morning Anchor and is following her man to the Twin Cities. I'm sure it won't be long till she lands a great TV job there as well. Some of you may remember her name from my shower invitations. She was one of the hostesses and really made sure it was a special day for me. She was also responsible for picking my Mom up from the airport and getting her to the hospital the day Lily was born.
On Tuesday, Lily had her 2 month check up with Dr. Pace, which included her first round of vaccines. She got two shots in one leg and one in the other, and it probably goes without saying, she was not happy about the ordeal! She fussed for the next 24 hours, but has made a full recovery and is back to her happy little self! Dr. Pace seemed happy with her development. I've posted her stats at the top of this post.
Lily is now sleeping 7 to 8 hours through the night which makes me sooooo happy since I will be returning to work in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll both make it through that adjustment without too much drama!
