This is Lily watching football with Eric. Its hard to believe that almost eight weeks have passed since Lily arrived and changed our lives! While I truly enjoy watching her grow and discover new things each day, another part of me feels as if the time has passed too quickly! Everything about having a baby has been incredible and I absolutely love love love every minute of this experience!
Honestly, we expected these first few weeks to be much more work than they actually were! Once we were able to spend time together as a family, the parental instincts developed naturally and very quickly.
Lily is just the latest of many many many blessings God has bestowed upon us! She is a great listener, whether we read her Good Night Moon or Leaves of Grass and she always has something to contribute when we speak. Lately she has shown a greater awareness of herself and actually put her thumb in her mouth (previously she had only put her little fist near her open mouth and it was never for more than a few seconds).
Lily loves listening to music! I believe I helped her develop this interest--From the very beginning of my pregnancy I used to put an earphone by my belly when I listened to iTunes at work so she could hear the music too. I know there is no evidence to support my theory, but she has shown a preference for the Continuum CD and Jack Johnson...
Is this merely a coincidence??
She is so precious! I can't get over how much more she is looking like her dad too! (which is a great thing, she's the perfect balance of you two) In this photo, she actually looks like she's so engrossed in the game! I can really visualize her kickin' back in her big girl chair with her dad. I, for one, am not in the least bit surprised that she's a genious and has great musical taste. I am soooo looking forward to your visit... I'm so excited, I won't be able to sleep until you guys get here!! Love you xoxo
