Little Miss Popular

I'm convinced that we have the most perfect baby in the whole world. We can't go anywhere without people wanting to see and talk to Lilly...And she will talk right back to them. She has been so much fun this weekend. We went to a cookout last night and Lilly showed off her short vowel a skills. She talked to the whole grocery store today too. She has also learned how to make a high pitched squeal which I'm sure will embarrass us the next time we go out to eat :-) Aw, who am I kidding? We will probably make funny noises right back and the whole restaurant will be staring at us.

In other news, we are trying to transition Lilly into sleeping in her pack-n-play that's in our bedroom. Right now she sleeps in her fisher price rock and play sleeper. That thing has been awesome! BUT... She is going to outgrow it soon. The past few nights we have put her in the pack-n-play and she wakes up about an hour later. Not sure what is waking her up. She sleeps great in her rock and play. We are going to have to keep working on this. Her crib would be better but even her doctor recommended that she sleeps in the room with us until at least 6 months to reduce the risk of SIDS. And we are both A OK with this. Upstairs is just too far away! Mike would go check on her every hour I'm sure! And besides, what else am I going to stare at when I can't sleep!? I just love waking up to that sweet face.

Speaking of Mike, he has been the most supportive husband in the world when it comes to breastfeeding. He is a huge reason of why it has been so perfect and stress free. He makes me feel so proud of myself. I knew I would enjoy breastfeeding but I had no idea how much I would love it. I already feel like it's one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. And it's also been a tremendous help seeing my sister-in-laws breastfeed their babies. They have answered so many of my questions. I will definitely make it to my goal of 1 year. I love him!

I need to vacuum and fold clothes but I think I will hold Lilly and let her nurse a little longer... That's a no brainier! It can ALWAYS wait until tomorrow. :-)
