A month gone by!!!

Here is my baby in her blessing

dress! I can't believe we've

already done this! Time moves

so quickly when you are having

fun ( and when you don't sleep

as well!). Lilly was blessed on

August 2nd. It was great. Mundy

was so nervous in the days leading

up to it, but he gave a wonderful

blessing. I couldn't even tell he

was nervous until he cut the

blessing a little short. It was

nice, we had our friends the

Roundy's there. As well as my

mom and dad, Daniel and

Megan, Mundy's brother

Scott his wife Heather and

their daughter Mykenna and

my cousin Richard & his wife

Annalise and their family.

Here is my girl in her bouncer

the next picture was of her

crying. She gets bored some-

times and lets us know it!

Here she is doing tummy

time. It has really helped

her to strengthen her neck

muscles which you can really

see when she's on her stomach

or when you are burping her

over your shoulder. At a little

after two weeks she also showed

us how she could roll over onto

her back. She's not much for

being on her stomach. This

picture is to show her scowl

which she often has on her

face. It's so cute! The next

picture is of her in her dress

the first day she went to

church. I was missing it and

so we just attended sacrament

meeting. Isn't she a doll?

She is ahead of herself in a

few areas. As I mentioned

she rolls over, she can also

roll from her back to her side.

From the first day she smiled. She also chuckles, usually

when she's half asleep. In her 3rd week I had her on the

bed with me while I visited with my mom and Aunt

Camilla and Mundy came in and started talking to Lilly.

She was facing my aunt Camilla and she turned her head

toward him after he started talking to her. She does this

often now. I love her bright eyes they seem so alert.

Another cute thing she does is when you put a binki

in her mouth she will often grab onto your arm or hand

with her hands. It is so cute. I can't believe how much

I love her. She is the light in my life. She has brought

much love into our home and all the boys love her, even

if they won't admit it verbally. She now weighs 9.5 lbs.

I'm not sure how long she is, but I do know I've had to

loosen her carseat straps once already and she's close

to outgrowing her newborn clothes. My baby is getting

so big. I've played with a lot of nicknames for her such

as Lil' Lilly & princess, but have landed on using punkin.
It just seems to fit unless she's screaming then I call her

fuss bucket. Interestingly, when my dad heard me call

her that he asked me where I got that. I told him I didn't

know. He said he used to call me that when I was a baby.

I wonder if I subconsciously remembered that. Do you

think it's possible?
