We ordered P1 for our package deal, it was the very first shot they took. Oh she's got such a cute smile.

For Lilyana's Daddy

she's smiling more

What a joyous wonderful thing. It's always fun to watch babies smile but there's something about watching your own baby smile that is so amazing. There's nothing better. Lilyana is regularly smiling at us now. I've found that she is most happy between 10-11:30am. Right when she gets up and before her nap.

A brief recap of my portion of the day with Lilyana. Matt will have to discribe his time with her.

6:50am wake up-eat & diaper(daddy got me, just in time for kiss before he heads to work)
goes right back to sleep (although she moves from her crib to our bed then)
10am wake again eat & diaper change
play (tummy time- looking out window, activity mat, talked with Grandma Deni, photo session)
11:30am nap time (I shower)
12:30pm wake up from nap
change diaper, watch mommy do hair and makeup - sat in baby bath tub with robe pading from the bathroom floor. (I was dancing & singing to keep her entertained.
1pm- 1:20pm Eat
finish getting ready- lunch and bottle, Lilyana watched/cat napped from her swing
1:40pm last diaper change before we'r out the door
1:45pm Out the door for daycare
1:52pm arrive at daycare
Miss Sam & Miss Erin are so happy to see our cute little girl. They both ewww and ahhh over her. "she's such a good baby, she never cries" they say.
2:02 leave daycare drive to work
2:08 arrive at work (I'm late again)



She's so alert and so darn cute, even when blowing bubbles

Our little girl is growing, here's a few of the outfits she's already out grown.

I'm back to work

Monday was my first day back to work. It was actually easier than i thought it would be. I cried just a little when i dropped her off. I had just put on mascara too. I don't know why I did that, because I knew I was going to cry, and of couse I don't have the waterproof kind. I dabbed my eyes and knew that I had to pull myself together. Telling myself that our little girl would be just fine and her daddy would be there to pick her up in a short 2 hours. I was late to work by 5 mins, I think that was pretty good for my first day back. Most of my co-workers were excited to have me back. Some customers were also excited. It was a pretty good feeling.

Tuesday: also late 5 mins, no tears - yippey.

other things going on:

----We are planning on renovating our bathroom soon. When I say we, I mean a contractor. Neither Matt or I have any home repair skills, we'd much rather pay someone who knows what their doing then to TRY it ourselves.

Lilyana has been to the tile store and 2 granite stores and has slept the whole time at each place.

----She's pooed outside her diaper twice in the past week. Lesson: don't let her air out.

The Fry family BBQ was at our house sunday, here is Lilyana with her 2nd, 3rd, 4th, cousins. (It's hard to keep track of it all - no little boys in this family)

2 month and 3 day check up.

Today we had an appointment for Lilyana's check, the dreaded check, where she has to get her shots. 3 shots and a liquid immunization. We also asked about all the little things that we weren't sure on.

- Cradle cap / Eczema

- Gas drops for her 1 hour of fussy time between 9-10pm.

- Giving her formula that is for colic, fussy, gas.

-Ranula. - this seemed to have gone away on it's own.


Her new stats are:

9lbs. 3oz. ( 10th percentile)

head circumference (1oth percentile)

23" length (90th percentile)



here's a video of her shots, poor baby girl....
