Forty-six Weeks Old!

Well, this was our last week in Jacksonville! We drove home on Monday. Thomas will be home verry soon:)
Leaving Jacksonville was bitter sweet. It's amazing how much you appreciate your crapy base housing once your confind to your old bedroom at your mother's house;) It was an amazing experience. Lily got to spend quality time with most of her family. And really grew to love them. As well as the wonderful ladies in the Centerview nursery:) I will always be greatful for the time we got to spend with everyone! But my goodness! It's good to be home:) Lily has thrived here! She is laughing and talking soo much more. And crawls all over the place:) But she is being a little extra clingy. She cries when I leave the room and wants to be held randomly. I'm pretty sure that's just some abandonment issues since everyone she's been living with for the past few months just dissappeared after one of her naps lol! But I'm hoping that once Thomas gets home and her and I start getting together with my friends and their kids that she will calm down and settle in in that sense! We'll see! And honestly, I'm kindof enjoying the extra cuddle time!
Lily's sleep schedlue has taken on a whole new pattern! I'm thinking that it's probably temporary... a growth spurt probably. But she's been waking up between 6 and 7 each morning. Napping from 9 to noon and then again from 3-5 and going to bed between 7 and 8 at night! I wish I could say that I've been taking advantage of all those long naps! But I haven't! I still have a ton of laundry to get folded and put away. I think I'm not stressing over it very much because it's all clean lol! I'm almost ready to just turn our guest room into a huge "closet" and leave all the clothes in there lol. But I doubt Thomas would like that very much.
Like I mentioned before. Thomas is coming home soon! We are both very excited to have our little family together again! It's only been a few months but he's really missed a lot of Lily's changes. I don't think there's any way for me to explain "her" to him. Just like last year when he was coming home to a 9 months pregnant wife. There was no way to prepare him for that. So I'm anxious to see how he reacts to her! I know he loves her! It will just be fun to see the shock on his face the first time she throws a fit or pushes herself out of his arms and crawls away from him lol! But who knows... maybe she will fall in love and never leave his lap!? God help me if that's the case! She's already spoiled enough as it is lol!
