So, as I suspected, I've had a bit of a rough go at the whole blog thing. I just don't know how people find the time! I still don't feel I have much to write about either.... Part of the problem is I have my expectations set a bit high. All the other blogs I read are so well worded, and so interesting. I don't feel like I can measure up. It makes me sad because writing used to be one of my strong suites, and I feel like I've lost it. Oh well, it is what it is I guess... So because I've been slacking I have a few things to actually catch up on (the few interesting things I do have to write about.) November 19th, Lily turned 4 months!! That very same day she met her Granddaddy Smith for the first time. He came for a very brief but sweet visit. Friday night he came and spoke at CR(Celebrate Recovery) at our church, and he did such a great job! We were so proud!
I know everyone says this, but I can't believe my baby girl is already 4 months! I know she's still a baby, but everyday that goes by is one day closer to her not being a baby in my mind. I really make such a point to treasure every single minute. That includes the constant drooling, the waking up numerous times a night, and the times she won't nap. I remind myself continuously that the to do list that doesn't get completed daily is worth it because these moments with her will be gone in a blink. I of course look forward to every upcoming stage, but as I've been told it's very bittersweet. I've told Chad, the solution to lessen the blow of this process is to just keep having more babies. ; ) Ha, we'll see about that... She really is the sweetest little girl, and I am so so very blessed. Being a mother, and having a child in my opinion is literally the most amazing thing in the whole world. My cup runneth over... Here are a few pictures of her 4th month weekend.
Moving on.... so on Thanksgiving we were at our family gathering, and were shocked when we handed her off to be held as numerous times before, and she literally freaked out!! It was so sad. Working in nursery, I have watched situation after situation of child-parent separation anxiety, but had no concept of how crappy it really feels. I know she needs to learn to be with other people, but I just wanted to comfort her and hold her close. It really tugs on your heart strings for sure!! I'm hoping it's a short lived stage, but chances are even if it is she'll go through it again later.
She rolled over!!! Last night she completed one of the big first mile stones! Unlike a lot of parents who can't wait for their child to roll over I was dreading it. To me it means she's growing up, and I can no longer leave her unattended on the couch or bed. Ha ha. She has yet to do it again for Daddy, and I'm in no hurry for her to do so. The little cutie looked so proud of herself though, and slightly confused. I managed to capture a few pics immediately after she did it. I'm so glad I keep the camera handy!
Lastly, today much to my surprise it actually snowed! The Meteorologists were actually right. Lily's first snow!! As usual, I am highly amused at the tizzy it puts people in around here. Coming from Wisconsin, these people have no idea..... = ) Obviously, Lily is too young to actually enjoy or understand the snow, but I had to capture the event.
