Something really cool happened this past Saturday. Lily laughed for the first time. Over the rest of the weekend she laughed two more times and that’s probably all I’ll get for weeks but it was amazing.

Taking this weeks pictures were a fun challenge.
First she wouldn’t put her Oball down.

I suggest this ball to everyone with a baby. Is great. she loves it.  I add the links to it for easy grabbing.

Then there’s the grabbing for camera, apparently its very tasty.

And of course the standard foot shot.

I did get a couple of good shots, this is one of my favorites.

I think Lily saw all the pictures of Maia with her tongue out and now that’s how Lily spends most of her time.

Today Lily turns 23 weeks old. (pretend I’m on time and today is Monday 6-1-09)

We are trying to wean her from the swaddle and its very slow going, but I think we can safely say that she can sleep with one arm out. In the next day or two we will start leaving both arms out. It seems silly to still do the swaddle for just her legs since it seems like the arms are more important but I think its part of our routine and that after we get the two arms free down then we can get rid of it all together. I’m sad to see it going. She likes it, I like it. But its getting hot here, well as hot as Montana gets in the spring. But I want to have her all done before Summer.

We got some really good news today. Her chromosome study came back perfect. (The doctor is still trying to find out why her head is shaped differently) We go see the genetics specialists in July and they will tell us what we need to do next.

The watermelon outfit is one of the first things I’ve had to buy her. All of her other clothes were either from her baby shower or hand me downs. We had a diaper accident so pictures of this outfit to come in some later post.

I think she is teething and I wish the little buggers would break through already. She’s grumpy off and on all day, has her hands in her mouth all the time, and has a little rash on her chin. Honestly I’m hoping she’s teething because that would explain the grumpy. If she’s not then I’m at a loss.

I think she was trying to escape

This is something new she's doing and I think its super cute
