I know, I know, I am a month behind but I am just having a chance to post because we have had a crazy month full of sickness! Lily now has 6 teeth including 1 that came in on her birthday. We went for Lily's check up on 2/18 and here were her stats: H-29.3 inches (57%), W-18 lb 6 oz (12%), Head Circumference-47 cm (93%). She did drop in her weight from the 23% to 12% however they are not too concerned because her height and head have continued to grow and she has had many ear infections. Lily had 3 ear infections since December and 5 total in a year therefore she had to have tubes put in her ears. It was a scary process putting tubes in her ear just because she had to be put to sleep. The worst part was when she was in recovery and she cried for about 1hour 1/2 because she didn't understand what happened and she couldn't keep her eyes opened. She has taken two wobbly steps however is not fully walking yet. She is determined that she is going to do things in her own time including walking everytime we try to stand her up she just sits right down and then crawls to pull up on something. We bought her two pairs of stride rite's this weekend and they are so cute on her! She is very independant and she is starting to get upset when we don't give her what she wants when she wants it! I have tried teaching her some sign language and she has come up with her own it seems. Instead of saying "all done" when eating she throws her hand down and grunts as if she is saying none! Lily loves bananas, mandarian oranges, pears, bread, yogurt, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and applesauce. Lily is usually sleeping from about 8pm until 7:30 am now however she has more teeth coming in so she wakes up occasionally in the night but usually puts herself back to sleep. She is a fun baby and loves to play with Zoe (the dog) and Emma (the cat) as well as all of her toys including her little people that she carries around with her when she is crawling. She just fills my heart with so much love and joy when she giggles or laughs! Lily loves to play "Where's Lily or Mommy" as well as chasing her saying "I'm gonna get her". Mommy loves you so much Lily and I am so thankful for the miracle you are!
