2.5 Months

We had Lily's 2.5 month check-up last week and she's doing great! She weighs 12 lbs and is 23.5 inches - both are in the 75th percentile. Her head is 15.5 inches which is 50th percentile. She looks older and gets bigger every day. Lily smiles all the time now and is "talking" more and more. She just discovered how to blow bubbles and stick out her tongue. She likes to lick her lips and make sucking noises. So cute! She has also been sleeping through the night! We can count on a definite stretch of 6 hours, but it's been 7-8 lately, and one night it was 10.5 hours straight. Amazing! It's nice to be able to count on a pattern now with her sleeping and eating.
We went for some family pics at JC Penney the other day and they came out adorable. First we did pics of the three of us with Lily in her holiday dress and then we did pics of Lily by herself in her Christening gown and with the blanket made from my wedding dress. They are absolutely precious. I'll post a link to see them when they become available on line.
Lily had her first of her first Thanksgiving celebrations this weekend. We went for the 3rd annual Deer Run dinner at Jon and Becky's house. Lily got to hang out with her friend Nola and we got to see Becky's belly growing with a new friend for Lily. Adorable!
We're headed to West Chester tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. There are lots of friends and family to see so I'm sure it will be a very busy trip.

Let's go PSU!!!

I love my bouncey seat :)

My friend Madelyn is helping me bounce.

All bundled up ready for a walk.

I love sitting in my bumbo now.

Mom, please stop taking pictures already!

Lily's First Halloween

For Lily's first halloween we went to a party at the neighborhood clubhouse. Amy, Chris, and Madelyn Pohlman came with us and we all had a great time. There were tons of babies and little kids at the party and Lily was a huge hit! She was the youngest one there and everyone loved her. After the party we came back and hung out at our house with the Pohlmans. We were expecting to have a ton of trick-or-treaters, but only 6 came all night! I can't wait to take Lily trick-or-treating next year!
