Time has been flying by and apparently being a full time Mommy leaves little time for blogging. ;)
Our baby girl is growing so fast and I swear she learns something new everyday! Instead of returning to work we decided the best thing for us is for me to stay home and love on our Lily Pad. I love getting to stay home with her and seeing all of these milestones first hand. I'll never regret this choice.
The first couple of months have been such a learning experience for us as new parents. I've become a ninja at the swaddling and diapering moments and how not to change a diaper on a loaded gun or pay the consequences. I can't even begin to explain the love I have for our Lily, but it's more than I ever thought possible. There are so many moments where I just stare at her amazed that God blessed us with such a beautiful child. I thank him every single day!
We went on our first overnight trip in April to Morro Bay and Lily did so well. She doesn't like to be in the car for long (she's a lot like me that way), but once we were there she was a very happy baby! We walked around, shopped, and of course ate lots of good food. We'll be going for our second overnight trip for the Fourth of July to Shaver, but this will be 3 nights in a cabin so hopefully all goes well!
I've started doing monthly pictures of Lily's growth with her own little sign and she grows so much every month. It's bittersweet because I love to see her reach milestones (like laughing, rolling, putting her feet in her mouth), but not too quickly since I'm enjoying my little baby. 
I had such an amazing first Mother's day! We planned to go out to breakfast, but ended up doing an early lunch at Good Times 50's Diner instead and spent the remainder of the day just enjoying my little family. We jumped in the pool, but Lily and I decided it was too cold for us so it didn't last long.
Isn't she the sweetest??!!
A few of my absolute favorite things about being Lily's Mama is how she looks up at me and just smiles, how she can be crying and as soon as she's in my arms all her worries go away, and her beautiful laugh! (Not to mention she's a great sleeper!) She is such a happy baby and that in return makes me extremely happy. Also seeing how great Matt is with her is amazing in itself. I couldn't be any luckier.
I could ramble on forever about how much Lily totally rocks, but I'll keep it short and sweet since I am more than ready for a little sleep. She started teething at 3 months and nothing has broken through yet. Some days are better than others! Today I got to experience shopping with a cart in one hand and a baby wanting to be held in the other. Needless to say my left arm is getting pretty strong. ;)
A few of Lily's favorite things: Her feet, being in the Moby Wrap with Mama, and her Ducky. She also likes to chew on the straws that are in my drink glasses. I think she's trying to be like me. Monkey see Monkey do.
She sure is growing!
