Just two more days and Lily will be one month old! It's hard to believe that the time has gone by so fast. Sorry I've been behind in updating the blog - it's been a crazy month! Since the last time I posted, Mark's mom was here for about a week, and both of his sisters (along with their husbands and our nephew) were here over the weekend. And then my dad arrives late tomorrow night. It's been a whirlwind, but a fun one!
Lily is eating and sleeping like a champ :) She's going anywhere from 4 to 6 hours at night between feedings, and sometimes it's hard to catch her awake during the day! At her 2 week well-baby check up, she weighed in at 9 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 inches! That's more than a pound over her birthweight and 2 whole inches taller. From our home weigh-ins, she's now over 10 lbs. and she's definitely getting taller. She outgrew newborn clothes last week, and I'm not sure how long the 0-3 month clothes are going to last - I think she's going to be one tall girl! She has so many clothes that I have to make an effort to make sure she wears them all before she outgrows them ;)
It's been really fun to watch Lily become more aware of her surroundings as well. She responds to voices (especially mine and Mark's) and sounds by turning her head and looking for them, and will track objects with her eyes. She's getting really good at holding her head up, though tummy time isn't her favorite thing to do. We're also getting little smiles here and there, and we're really looking forward to seeing those more consistently.

Lily and I will be visiting my office tomorrow so she can meet everyone there, and we're having a blast staying home and watching the Olympics! All in all, it's been a great month, with lots more to look forward to!
She is awake sometimes...
