Lily now enjoys some tummy time everyday. It may only be 5 minutes or so but its something.

Well yesterday I put her on the floor to take her 8 week picture but she wasn’t up for a photo session right then. So I turned her over onto her tummy and she and I talked for a couple of minutes and the next thing I know she rolled half way over. She ended up back on her tummy but I was so very excited for her that I ran to my computer and sent Waldo an instant message about how big our girl was getting.

When I turned back around she was on her back! I couldn’t believe it. I missed it! After giving Lily lots of praise and kisses I then told Waldo how I had missed it. Then I told Lily to stop growing up so darn fast.

Last Friday I was sitting with Lily at my computer. She was facing me and we were chatting away like normal. I’m sure some day soon she’ll have more to say then the occasional squeak and “aaahhhhh”. I’m okay with carrying the conversation till then though. During this deep and meaningful talk I smiled at her and she smiled back. It was beautiful. Big open mouth and her whole face was in on it. I wish I could have gotten a picture but it was so unexpected and quick. I don’t think I’ll ever forget what it looked like even without photographic evidence.
She did it twice more on Saturday. Since then I hadn’t been able to get another one out of her until today.
They are just melt your heart wonderful and I can’t wait till she smiles all the time.
Lily is so amazing and changing/growing daily. Now I just have to figure out how to get her to gain weight. I’m sure that will come in time too though.
