She's already 4 months old!!

Our beautiful daughter, Lily Cynara, was born on September 18, 2008. She is now 16 weeks old :) Lily amazes us everyday. She has grown so much already and I am a little sad I didn't keep this blog up through her first few weeks with us. Lily smiles, laughs and is talking more each day. She is a pro at holding her head up and she likes to stand like a big girl (with support of course). She is a "better" sleeper now too - a straight 5-7 hours for her first round of sleep at night. Lily is also an expert drooler and has been very interested in her hands - she cannot keep them out of her mouth! Maybe those teeth will start popping out real soon...

As for being a first time mom, I am doing my best. I have a heightened level of anxiety when I take Lily places and I had A LOT of it when it came to nursing. I know that most of the time it is silly for me to be stressed, but I can't help it. I am trying though - to relax and enjoy every moment. The nursing thing has improved tremendously. I am so thankful for all my experiences so far because I am now a more patient and giving person. I cannot explain how much I love this little person.
