Lili at Three Months

 Lili at three months weighs around 9 lbs.  We think she is a chunk, especially her cheeks.  They are the perfect size for kisses.  I think Lili acts more like a two month baby.  She still sleeps a lot, eats around 3 oz, and takes one feeding during the night.  We are attempting to put 0-3 month clothes on her.  They are still a little big.  Every once in awhile we hear her coo, but mostly she just observes us.  We have also had accidental smiles, but I'm still waiting for her to smile at me.  Lili still rolls over from her back to front and has very strong neck muscles.


Lili loves playing dress ups (ok, I love playing dress ups.)  This little dress came from Aunt Kara and is such a great color for Lili.  She looks so sweet in it.  My mom found the perfect little black sweater to go with it.  I'm not the only one who likes playing dress ups.  After I'm done dressing her, Dallin will say, "Mom I just have to hold her now.  She is so pretty."  Dallin can definitely help lift your self esteem.  Gavin on the other hand always says to Lili, "Ew Luli," like she smells or something.  Let's hope she listens to Dallin more than Gavin!


Here is one of those accidental smiles.  Isn't she pretty!

Lili still spits up quite a bit so she is usually wearing a bib unless Dallin has just held her.  He has an aversion to bibs.


Lili is great about going with the flow.  The boys wanted a picnic lunch on a sunny but windy day.  Lili went right along with it.

I don't think there is a sister who is loved more than Lili.   She is so patient with them.

 She was definitely their valentine.

 Lili puts up with a lot.  Gavin acted all innocent in the below picture, but the next minute he fell backwards while still holding Lili.  I'm not sure what his next plan was...wrestling?  This is typical.  I try not to let him hold her too often.  This is why Lili already has a doll, so that Gavin has a baby to hold and feed.  At first he was scared of the doll (that was quite funny) but now he likes holding "Lili's" doll and is really sweet with it (unlike Dallin but I rather him do super baby with the doll instead of with Lili.)

 Lili also puts up with a lot of touching.  Between mom's and dad's kisses, the boys kisses, the occasional realization that she has an eye too (by Gavin who likes to point that out every so often), and Dallin trying to pinch her cheek, Lili is lucky she is doing so well.  Or maybe Lili knew what she was signing up for and still chose our family.  Who knows!  By the way, Gavin is throwing one of his 2 year old temper tantrums because Dallin got to hold Lili and not him.

I think she is getting back at them here although her punch is a little weak.  The boys better watch out.  A baby who can roll over at 1 month is definitely someone to be reckoned with!




 She is a cutie and we have loved every minute with Lili.

Oh yay! I thought that dress would look good on her! What a doll! Can't wait to see her again (she'll be a whole new baby!)
