You...

• smiled for the first time
• are still in newborn clothes and graduated to size 1 diapers
• have started to have real tears when you cry
• loved being held all of the time
• also really love laying flat on your back in the floor
• only like zipper swaddles
• love to smile all of the time

I can already imagine how much of a broken record I am going to sound like by the time Lillie is a year old, but geez! We are here already?! How did this even happen? I am finally starting to get the hang out this whole mother of two thing (kind of) and have to return back to work next week. It has flown by and I cannot believe I returned back to work earlier with Ollie.

Lillie started smiling this month and it is just adorable. Each milestone is a big sigh and a blessing all in its own with her. Another milestone, on the opposite side of the spectrum, is Lillie has started producing tears sometimes when she cries. It’s awful and breaks my heart. Lillie is sleeping fairly well at night but still like to fuss during the day, especially when she is trying to fall asleep in the afternoons. I feel like her schedule is less structured than Ollie's was at this point, but hopefully we find that soon.
