Lillie and the pacifier

Lillie has a love/hate relationship with her pacifier. Occasionally she will accept it right away and she quickly soothes herself to sleep. Other times, well, see for yourself...

zonked out

This just can't be comfortable, but should I dare try to move her? To wake or not to wake is the question...

Thank heaven for grandmas

Time has just absolutely flown by. Lillie is now almost 7 weeks old and changed so much already. The first 2 weeks after Lillie was born, we had our moms in town to help and boy was I thankful. I felt like a baby myself (which, by the way, nobody told me would be so hard!). So it was wonderful to have some extra hands around.

Let me tell you, I don't think that they could love Lillie any less than we do and I'm almost sure that they love her more than they even love us! I've heard that's just how grandparents are and have decided to refer to them as Lil's "partners in crime". They are simply smitten with her and just smother her with attention. Now, if they can just decide what their grandma names will be...

Lillie's sidekicks...

Back from vacay...

and soooo sad about it. We love spending time in North Carolina with our family and in the place that we know as home.

Lillie must be even more sad about it. How do I know? Let's see, I ate dinner standing at the kitchen counter and rocking her last night and that was after I heated my food twice. Interestingly enough, when John came home from his meeting, I passed her off to him and she quickly fell asleep on his shoulder and slept for hours.

This morning, she let me put her in the swing just long enough to get my breakfast started and then cried long enough to let me burn it. And now the only place she'll sleep is in the sling.

I was a bit disappointed when I realized that she won't be a "Carolina girl" since she was born in Pennsylvania (it's okay, I'm still calling her one). Guess she's telling me she's disappointed too...

Watch out NC...

Lil is in town!


She's cheering here, can't you tell?

We're in North Carolina this week. We've been all over the state from Davie County to Durham to Greenville so that Lillie could meet her family (or is it the other way around) and now we're at the beach. You can't skip a summer trip to an NC beach! I hope to share some pictures soon. We've done a ton of stuff this week and Lillie is growing up so quickly (too quickly if you ask me).
