Dear Lily- You are 1 month

Dear Lily,

You are already a month old and your dad and I couldn’t be more in love with you! You have been an absolute joy, although we do have to work on your day/night confusion. However, your long naps during the day allow your mama to catch up on her own sleep. Your dad and I also appreciate that you are sleeping longer through the night, but you are such a noisy sleeper that I’ve turned into an even lighter sleeper!

We love to watch your facial expressions. There is nothing sweeter to see and hear you laugh in your sleep. I wish I could just video you for 24 hours so that I can show you off to the world just how cute and wonderful you are! Or have it as leverage for your teenage years. =)

You also like to mess with mama and daddy by going to through diapers like there is no tomorrow. Somehow you’ve got your timing just right that you know you have a new diaper on and go to town before we even have a chance to get you dressed again. That is talent, my darling. I told your dad I knew you were an overachiever when your umbilical cord fell off only after 2 days!

You already super alert to your surroundings, following voices and playing with your Mr. Caterpillar. And oh, how you love to watch the ceiling fans. Daddy says you already know when I come into a room. You are doing so well with your tummy time, especially when tummy time is on mama or daddy.

Thank you, little one, for bearing with us as we navigate this new adventure as your parents and being so good natured to let your mom have a shower everyday.

Love you lots and lots,

Your mama
