Four months old!

Lilly is now four months old. she can sit up by herself for a few seconds and she is LOVING her toys. It is so incredible to watch her interact with toys.  She is a very curious girl and usually sticks her tongue out when she is really focusing on a toy or book. Too cute. Lilly is making lots of new noises, I love that she interacts with us and mimics our noises. 

She weighed in at 13lbs and 9oz at her 4 month check up and got another installment of immunization shots.  Since she is such a big girl not she has graduated from sleeping in her car seat. I won't lie,  it's been a rough road but it will get better, I hope!  

I was able to see my college roommate Sonja and her new son Hakan when I was in Minnesota. We joked that Lilly had her first playdate with her future husband.   Hakan is very handsome although Lilly looked like a giant baby next to him.  It put some perspective on how much growing happens in 4 short months! 

Minnesota Visit!

Lilly had her very first trip to Minnesota! She was such a great traveler and she had a great time meeting lots of new friends. We stayed at my parents place and I think Lilly had more toys there than she does at home in Vancouver. Grandpa and Grandma had a great time with Lilly and it was so sweet to see her face light up each day when they got home from work.  

Lilly met her favorite uncle, Bryan for the first time. He was a natural with her. So sweet!  

We had a very special first trip to the bookstore with Grandma Sachs. Lilly is loving books lately, she looks at all the pictures with lots of interest.  I am sure she is brilliant!  She has lots of new books now, her current favorite is The I Love You Book by Todd Parr.
