Happy New Year

I know I haven't been posting as much as I'd like to and as much as you want to keep up with Lily's progress, but we've been in a routine of every day stuff lately, and haven't had anything major to report.  Also, between making formula, cleaning bottles, taking care of Pearl, taking care of the house, um... nevermind, I'm not starting out the new year making excuses, I'll try to be more diligent.  

On 12/26, Lily weighed seven pounds exactly, and measured 19 inches tall.  She is pretty close to outgrowing all her preemie clothes, and fits nicely in some newborn outfits already.  Her reflux is a little better, but she is still fussy during most nights, and will sometimes only sleep if being held.  She is starting to have longer periods of being awake, sometimes for an hour or two, and enjoys lying on her play mat and staring at all the pretty colors.  She also seems to stare at us sometimes, and I can't say I blame her.  She is big enough now to hang out in her swing, and also enjoys her new bath.

Although Lily is just shy of 12 weeks, she has already made some significant New Years resolutions.  I'm usually not a big fan of resolutions because I think January 1st is an arbitrary date to start doing things you should be doing anyway, but in Lily's case, I think it's appropriate.  Lily's resolutions for 2009:

To hold her head up on her own,
To sleep through the night,
To let mommy and daddy sleep through the night,
To smile and laugh ( a lot),
To crawl,
To say a few words,
To take her first trip to Michigan,
To stay healthy and strong.

We hope you all have a healthy, happy, joyous, prosperous 2009!
