I <3 her soooo much!

Such a happy baby! [I must be doing soooomething right...right!?]

Twenty-three Weeks Old!

Wow! What a busy week! I am so sorry that this is so late!
Lily has been amazing this week! Thomas left on Friday for 2 weeks in Nevada. This is only the second time I've been left alone with Lily for this long!... and we're surviving:)
My parents and Hunter came for a visit Thursday and stayed with us through Saturday! It was so great to see them it had been a whole THREE weeks since they had seen Lily and that had just been entirely tooo long lol! My mom was great! She helped me get my laundry under control and baked friendship bread with me [yummm]! We all went out to my Dad's brother's house to visit with my aunt, uncle and cousins! It was Tiffton and Tabitha's first time meeting Lily and my first time meeting Tiffton's baby boy! So it was a really neat visit!
Since Thomas is out of town, I figured I would stay busy and booked quite a few photo shoots for this week! I don't know what I was thinking! Since he left on Friday I have had three shoots and have been editing at night while Lily sleeps! I've edited 4 shoots so far, have 2 more to finish and have 2 new shoots this weekend! So, Lily's pictures completely left my mind! [But I'm working on them now!] Lily came on all of the shoots with me and was soooo amazing! I am so lucky to have such a good baby!

Getting the hang of it!

I'm not ready for her to be this big!!

No hands!! [she looks proud:)]

Twenty-two Weeks Old!

LILY IS SITTING UP!!!
[I know I posted her 5 month pics too early... so you prrrrrobebly already figured that one out! But it's worth mentioning again!]
This week has been a pretty tough one! On Sunday I left Lily home with Thomas so I could do a photo shoot. Well, I seem to have some sort of pumping anxiety!... I can never seem to be able to pump when I actually need to have a supply:( So I bought some formula so that Thomas could have something here for her just in case! Bad idea! It obviously didn't agree with her poor little tummy! A little after I got home that morning she started throwing up... and I am talking projectile vomiting! She was sick for the better part of that afternoon, not even keeping breastmilk or water down. It was pretty scary and I felt terrible! But she eventually came around and has been doing great ever since! We learned our lesson!
Now the real problem is her sleep patterns lately! Remember how I said she was experimenting with her wake up times in last week's post!? Well, I had nooo idea just how crazy this girl is! She's waking up at FOUR IN THE MORNING! It's ridiculous! She's up at 4,5,6 and 7 then she goes down until around 10! I have been lucky that over the last three days Thomas has been home to tag out with me around 8 and let me sleep a little! But today he went back to work and was not too happy when I woke him up this morning to take the baby! But he was a sweetie and luckily she was sleepier today and he got to come back to bed for a while!
We tried keeping her awake last night with no luck! She was miserable and ended up crashing at 8:30! We were aiming for 9:00! But hopefully this will end soon and she'll figure out a good morning wake up time! [pray for me!]

Lily's First Snow!!

We woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland today! It was the most snow I have ever seen in person! And, of course, Lily's first time ever seeing snow! Thomas got a smow day so we were all together! Rocco and Mya loved being outside today! They ran and ran and ran! A few friends from our squadron walked over to our house and we palyed around in the field for a while! The wind was blowing so hard though... Lily wasn't enjoying that too much! But I had to drag her out a few different times today to get pictures of her first snow! I just couldn't help myself!
