2 months

I can't believe my little girl is already two months old! She is getting so big already. We had a bit of a rough first 6 weeks but Lily is doing a lot better now. After multiple doctors visits, a lot of crying, and hardly any sleep for all of us, we learned that Lily has acid reflux:( After eliminating pretty much anything and everything from my diet that could be bothering her, we also realized that she has a dairy sensitivity/allergy. So we now have to give her medicine every morning, and I can't eat any dairy, but she is such a happy little girl now and is sleeping better too!

Lilian at 2 months:

10 lbs 5 oz. 30%
22.75 in. 75%
39.5 head circumference. 75%

Is still highly sensitive and is easily frustrated.
Is very stubborn.
Is really alert and doesn't miss anything that goes on around here.
Is starting to like her swing more (hated it until about a week ago).
Typically sleeps 2-3 hour intervals at night (will randomly sleep longer, but not often).
Enjoys bath time but gets really upset when she gets out.
Likes to be talked to ALL DAY LONG.
Smiles a lot.
Still has blue eyes.
Loves the bathroom fan.
Loves to kick her legs and push against things with them.
Has really long toes and can grip stuff with them.
Loves to stretch, especially after shes been swaddled while sleeping.
HATES going to the doctor.
Prefers country music on in the car.

Lily has grown a TON this past month. This is her at 1 month (wearing newborn size pajamas that don't fit her anymore)....

Lily at two months...



With her cousin Kohen who is 4 weeks younger than her


Lily stretching right after getting her blanket unwrapped. This makes us laugh every time. As soon as she gets unwrapped she throws both arms up in the air and extends her legs and stretches forever. Its even better when she has slept for a long time because then she is so happy when shes doing it:)





How can you not love this little face?

Lilys Room

This summer Luke had to travel a lot for work. He was in DC for two months so I found some projects to do around the house. I spent a lot of my free time working on Lily's room. It was really fun and I think it turned out pretty cute. There are still a few things I want to do to it but for the most part it is done.






I looked for crib bedding that I liked for a long time and couldn't find anything that great that wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars. One day I was at hobby lobby and saw some fabric on sale and figured I might as well try making it because it would be way cheaper and cuter than a lot of the stuff I could get at a decent price. I don't love the fabric but it was cheap and I didn't want to spend tons of money on fabric when I didn't know if it would even turn out, but it turned out pretty good! If there is a next time I will be more confident in my sewing and maybe go for some cuter, more expensive stuff:)

My sister Jordan made the adorable quilt on the chair. I (and Lily) seriously got so spoiled. Pretty much everything cute Lily has was made by someone for us. We especially owe my sister...she made her multiple quilts/blankets, hair bows, clothes, a car seat cover, and a nursing cover (and probably more that I'm not remembering right now)! Best sister ever and so much cuter than anything I would ever make:) We also got lots of things from grandmas, great grandmas, and aunts and we are so grateful for our wonderful family!
