5 things about Lily

To be fair, this morning I will list my 5 favorite things about Lily. This is a little more difficult, since she doesn't quite have her own unique personality yet. Well, she probably has it, she's just trapped inside an infant body and can't express that personality very well yet.

1) Those cheeks!!! They are so firm and round and yummy...I have to fight the urge to just pinch them and kiss them all day long. They are red from being chapped by wind, spit (Lily likes to wipe her slobbery fingers on them), and kissing. Poor baby. She can't take a pacifier, because the edges can't make it past the cheeks. She literally can't fit a pacifier all the way into her mouth. So DAGGONE CUTE!

2) She is so ticklish! And she already anticipates the next tickle. She'll see your hand coming and just descend into giggles. Before you've even touched her!

3) She is so coordinated. At least compared to her brother at this age. Which probably means she's just average. But because of our experience with her brother, Jeff and I are AMAZED at her hand-eye coordination. She sees something, she immediately reaches out and grabs it. Andrew didn't even use his thumb until he was 9 months old!!! Lily is a pro already and she's not even 5 months old yet. Amazing.

4) She wants to be a part of everything. She'll be fussy until you bring her into the activity. She just wants to be part of the conversation/game/party/meal. As long as she isn't degraded to baby status, she's happy.

5) She's so happy...most of the time. I know I've said this before, and I warn you, I'll probably say it forever. I don't deserve ANOTHER good baby. She's good in different ways than Andrew...but she's still unbelievable. She's just fun to be around...already. Love her love her love her.
