What We've Learned From Lily In 2 Weeks!


Happy 2 weeks in this world, Lily! Monday, Nov. 10 marks 2 weeks since you've been born. You have brought us so much joy since you've been born - we look forward to many, many years to come with you.

Although 2 weeks may not seem like a long time, we've already learned quite a lot from you:

* Baby noises are so cute! You hiccup, sneeze (always in pairs!), blow bubbles (out of both ends), and make sweet little sighs and grunting noises while you sleep. You don't cry a whole lot (mommy and daddy are knocking on wood it stays that way!)

* Mommy and daddy no longer have a set schedule - we are on Lily time! We are still able to get things done, but much more slowly, and need to work together as "Team Cole" to take turns holding/burping/feeding/changing you.



* sleep is precious - get it while you can! Many people gave us this advice, but it's true - sleep when Lily sleeps!


* you love being swaddled, but our little Houdini loves getting her arms out and putting them above her head when she sleeps.


* you make some really funny faces - pursing your lips, furrowing your eyebrows, yawning so big it makes everyone else yawn too! We've seen you smile quite a few times too - we've been told it's just a reflex right now, but we know better - you're just a happy little baby. :)


* you love Boomer kisses. While you can't respond as much right now, Boomer loves giving you a couple doggy kisses every day and checking up on you whenever he comes in the room. One day soon you'll be chasing after him, pulling on his ears - and he'll be your buddy!
So many "Lily moments" - so much we have yet to learn about you!
