First Steps!

Lily took her first steps today! I had a feeling it would happen in Marion. We caught her standing on her own yesterday - over and over again. It started with a toy that she didn't want to put down. You could tell she also wanted to follow Grace (Scott and Krisha's daughter) and Elizabeth (a girl Krisha baby sits) around. Having 2 girls to follow the last couple of days has been a motivating factor for her. Today she has been toddling back and forth between the two of us. She is still pretty unsteady, but I am sure will take off soon! It made my heart skip a beat. I am sooo proud! I will add pics when we get a couple. We were able to shoot some video today! Jen

15 Month Check-up for Lily

We just got back from Lily's 15 month check-up. She is still a peanut, but is growing! She now weighs 16 lbs 9.2 oz and is 29 1/4 in long. That means that she has grown about an inch in length and added roughly 3 lbs to her weight. All seems well. She will continue on milk with vitamins added since she has taken herself off the formula. The challenge is now going to be getting her to drink enough milk.

Lily received the "wonderful blessing" of 3 shots! She was watching as the first one went in. She got this incredibly mad look on her face and held her breath until after the 2nd shot was given. This was her first experience with shots with us, here in the States as her immunizations were at appropriate levels when we had her tested in April.

She is now taking her morning nap. We'll see if the shots affect her sleep or disposition today.
