4 months




Lilli and i went to the doctor for her 4 month check up, and aside from having a little bit of eczema, she's doing great. She's 15lbs, 14 oz. {85th percentile} and about 25 inches {84th percentile} She did really well with the shots, and everyone kept making comments about how strong and wonderful she is!

roll baby, roll

i put lilli on her side and was reading blogs--when i looked back, lilli had rolled onto her belly and was scooting herself forward! she then rolled back to her side and onto her back!! so proud of her!!! we'll see if it was a 1 time thing, or if she'll keep doing it! she also scoots around on her back while in her crib--she's never where we leave her!

honestly...


...i hate blogging. like really, really hate it. maybe i'd like it if my computer weren't so slow.

Life has kinda gone crazy these past couple of weeks. Cason wasn't able to find a job, and i only get about 4-8 hours a week at the gap...so--we can't exactly pay the bills anymore. We talked about it and decided to move to boise. Cason hates byu-i and they don't offer what he wants to major in, so he'll be dropping out and going to ITT-Tech. i never imagined we'd end up at a tech school, but they have the program that'll teach him what he wants to do with his life. it's expensive...but it's worth it.

We spent the week of thanksgiving with Cason's family in Ashton, and then drove to Boise on Monday to see mine and start getting things taken care of. We got Cason registered for school, and found the apartment we wanted. It was a little hectic, but it was also really fun to see my parents and jana. We're not sure when we're moving at this point. The school will help set cason up with a job...so pretty much the sooner the better. The only problem is that our lease in rexburg doesn't end until february 25th, but we get a month free at the new place. So...we'll either be moving in January or february. I'm a little scared and sad to leave our current appartment, but i think it's the right move for us at this time.

Lilli is doing well. She's learning and growing so much!! she loves to laugh and play, and she cracks us up every day. She's very active and is trying to learn how to roll.we have to be careful now when she's lying on our laps--she can roll right off! she face planted the other day while cason was sitting with her on the floor (don't worry she's fine...it just spooked her a little) She's also a lot fussier than she used to be, which is no fun. Wic made us change her formula and she is not liking it! she'll cry for about 5-10 minutes before settling down and eating it. -i'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon though.

i'm still adjusting to being a good wife AND mom. i think i do pretty well at the mom part, but i hardly ever cook anymore and the house is always a little messy. luckily, cason is patient with me, and i'll hopefully get the hang of it soon!

3 months old

i apologize again for posting blogs without pictures and for not catching up yet. BUT...today is lillian's 3 month birthday! she weighs 13 pounds, is getting good at grabbing things and pulling hair, laughing, holding herself up while on her tummy, and i think she might even be getting some teeth in! She is growing up WAY too fast!

sorry

sorry i haven't posted in so long...my computer hasn't been letting me :( but i promise to catch up soon.

i had orientation at the gap on tuesday. i missed lilli like crazy...it wasn't fun! but working will be good for me, and it's only going to be like...10 hours a week. AND i get 50% off at the gap and banana republic, and 30% off at old navy...so it's pretty sweet. now cason just needs to find a job
and i can rest a little easier


Cason and i are finally healthy again and trying to get back into our normal routine. we're so happy that lilli didn't get sick too!

2 months!



Lilli is two months old today..and getting so big! she seems bigger each day to me...i wish time would slow down a little bit!




Just look at those legs!









Lilli loves to play with her pooh bear friends. She loves to hit them and listen to them rattle. Well...she'll love it for about 15 minutes..and then she gets really upset. I have no idea why, but it's pretty funny! She also loves to hold on to things, and will occasionally grab for things.








Lilli also likes to watch her dad play video games and seems to like metal music...i'm hoping she'll out grow both of these things. I also noticed today that she likes when other babies cry...she'll look at them and get a big smile on her face. Should i be worried? or is she just trying to cheer them up?






Her car seat buddy fills her with wonder!
