Milestone Monday

I am amazed at how fast time flies.  It seems like just yesterday Lily was Michael's size.  They both grow and change every day and find new ways to make me smile.

Michael is a BIG guy.  In fact that's my nickname for him.  He was 11 lbs 4 oz at his one month appointment-90th percentile. He is already wearing 3-6 months clothes and breaking out of his swaddle. His latest milestone is starting to smile socially.  He especially loves Lily and smiling at her.  They are way too cute together.  He is (obviously) a great eater - but hates the bottle.  That's our next big milestone to reach.

Lily amazes me everyday.  She seriously soaks up everything like a sponge - it blows my mind the things she remembers and puts together. For example, she has a nursery rhyme book that is like 100 pages.  She will flip through and and see pictures and know the rhyme - her favorites are  "the wheels on the bus," "I'm a little teapot," "ring around the rosey" and "5 little monkeys."  She loves the library and today was all exited to tell daddy about hearing pooh on the computer (see below).  Her latest "milestone" is giving up her binky!  It's been a whole week!  Sometimes at night when I am putting her to bed she will still ask, "bye bye binky?"  I tell her she is a big girl and I am so proud.  It takes her a little longer to fall asleep but she is doing so good.  Now onto potty training!

I am so blessed by these two and absolutely love spending my days with them.  Can't believe I have to go back to work three weeks from today.  Time goes way too fast!
