Sixteen Weeks Old!!

Sorry, This is a little later than I thought I would have these posted! But here we are! Our baby girl is SIXTEEN WEEKS OLD!! And she is thriving!! I am proud to say that we both survived our 12 days without Daddy being home! We are picking him up from the airport tomorrow night:)
Lily has had a pretty good week! She started napping in her crib during the day and is doing great spending some time on her own under her brand new play gym! I bought is as an early Christmas present since she wasn't too interrested in her tummy mats and I am so glad I did! She lays under it and it sings to her and she has a ton of rattles and mirrors and fun things to stare and grab at! Her eye-hand coordination has really improved too! She can hold something in her hand and stick it straight into her mouth! And, Boy, does she love sticking things in her mouth! She is knawing on everrrything now! I found a tooth [?] on Monday! I am still on the fence about it since no one else has been able to look at it and tell me one way or the other! It's an obvious, hard, white 'bump' breaking out of her top gums! It isn't the front tooth but the "eye" tooth! I could totally be wrong and will just have to wait to have someone else look at it and chime in! But it's pretty exciting nonetheless!
The Moby Wrap has been my saving grace! Some nights she was just so fussy from teething that the only way I could soothe her and get things done was to strap her to me! We've gone on a few walks this week too! She loves being outside! Today she just starred at the leaves on a bush for like 5 minutes:) I love spending that time with her... when she is so intensly interrested in something and so peaceful at the same time!!
We are going to start her on rice cereal this coming week! She has been eating like crazy during the day! She still sleeps through the night without fedding but those day time feeding are just so much! I started my period today [sorry... way tooo much information for some probably!] and her sleeping through her night feedings is more than likely the reason for that! So I have decided there is no reason not to start her on the cereal! We'll just start out a little in the morning to see how it goes and probably won't start her on any other kind of food for a while! But I am really excited about this new step:)

So look forward to those pictures [and possible video] next week!!!

Aww...she is definitely growing! She is too stinkin' cute! Starting cereal is when you realize they are growing up on you! :( And a tooth? WHAT? :)
