Lili's First Month and New Born Pictures

 Born at 4 pounds, 3 ounces with the doctor starting compressions right away since she wasn't breathing to a 5 pound 15 ounce healthy baby...Lili has come a long way in one month!  My doctor was very pleased with Lili's progress at her one month appointment (her length was 17 inches which is up two from when she was born).  Lili was also showing off.  Her doctor was trying to see if she was ready for tummy time by putting her on her tummy to see what she would do.  Lili was angry because she wanted to eat, started kicking pretty hard and rolled over.  When the doctor put her on her tummy again, Lili promptly rolled over again.  She is a little over achiever!

 Lili's first month included a hospital stay including oxygen, feeding tube, and being put in the isolette, meeting many of Zane's siblings plus Gram, meeting all of mine and her grandparents, a vacation at Zane's sister-in-laws, a two day road trip, dinner at McDonald's, Christmas celebrations, and lots of kisses.  She had a pretty eventful month!

At Lili's doctor's appointment, we discussed Lili's acid reflux.  When she spits up, milk floods out of her nose and she screams her head off.  Luckily she calms down within a minute or two so we are lucky.  Lili has already beaten her brothers in learning to put herself asleep.  If Lili's stomach isn't bothering her then I can lay her down in her crib and she will put herself to sleep.  I'm so glad because I started up my preschool this last week.  Lili is doing so well that I decided to start teaching preschool again.  The boys needed to get back to their routine. We are thrilled with how well Liliane is growing and love how the sweetness of a baby changes the atmosphere of the home! 

My sister-in-law, Kara, arrived in Utah to visit her family while we were there, so we got some newborn shots in!   Here are a few of my favorites.













I hope Lili's 2nd month is a little calmer!  One thing for sure is she will continue to have her family wrapped around her tiny fingers!

So happy for you!! Those newborn shots of her are beyond priceless. I love the one on the stair because it will serve as a measurement of how teeny she is. So glad she's doing well. Having a daughter is so much fun!
