Thirty-seven Weeks old!

Life is sooo hectic here! Class and family and Lily and church... I have fallen sooo behind on editing and posting since I've been here! I am lucky enough to have my computer here, set up in my room with Internet! But by the time the day is done and I come back here to edit and post I'm exhausted and end up emailing Thomas and then going to bed! It's 3:15 A.M. right now and I knowww I'm going to pay for this when Lily wakes up in a few hours and is awake for the morning! But I have to get caught up!
Lily is great in the morning though! She is sleeping in Haley's room down the hall from me. And when she gets up I bring her into bed with me and nurse her and then turn on the TV to Noggin and she lays there for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and watches baby cartoons and sings and babbles to herself while I rest! I never fully go back to sleep but it's so nice to just have that little bit of transition time in the morning! She must know that her momma is NOT a morning person and needs to be warmed up every morning!! Smart girl!
But I look forward to that snuggle time every morning!
It was another big week for Lily! She started crawling! I can't say that she's hauling butt across the room or anything! But she is definitely moving hands and knees to get where she needs to go even if she does fall on her face almost every time! It's so amazing to watch her look at a toy and then take off after it!
She started climbing into my lap this week too! She'll make her way over to me and then laugh and grunt until she's usually hanging over the side of my legs just kicking and squealing with pride! She's tried to pull her self up in the couch and the table a few times but she's not quite strong enough yet! But she'll stand there for a while if I stand her up to them!
She is an attention hog too! She's always been pretty quiet around me. If it's just me and her at the house she's content to just sit with me and play with her toys. But if someone else is in the room and talking to me and not paying her any attention she will start talking/laughing/squealing/screaming at them until they start paying attention to her!! It's crazy how loud she gets! But she is soooo happy once they start talking to her! She plays shy a lot now too! Sometimes when she gets their attention she'll bury her face in my chest to hide and then peek back out and start screaming again for them to look back at her! She's a nut!!
I can't say 100%... but I'm pretttty sure that she can wave now too! If you say "hi" or "bye bye" to her and wave she will flap her right arm at you! It's pretty amazing! She lights up when she does it! ...Well, unless it's me saying "bye bye" to her! Then she starts crying lol! But I'm so proud of her!!
