Update

Lily is now 7 weeks old and changing every day. She is now smiling which amazes me every time, she has also laughed and she will talk to you too- not in any kind of language we understand but her gurgles and coos are very cute!

She has out grown all of her newborn clothes and now slipping into all her 0-3months clothes nicely not surprising really when she is now over 10lb! Her long legs continue to grow too. She can hold her head up for about 30 seconds unaided and likes to push herself up further and further on whoever is holding her.

Lily and Mummy have been out and about too. Last week we went to Baby Massage and a Mummy and Baby group so we have met lots of new friends which is great for us both; Lily was the tiniest baby at both groups though I am sure she won't be for long!

Sleep is now getting very good for us both with Lily sleeping for about 6 hours straight so the bags under Mummy's eyes are slowly disappearing- hurray!

1 month old today.

Lily is now 1 month old and continues to bring us so much joy! Lots has changed over the last month some of which I think we weren't quite prepared for but I can safely say we wouldn't change any of it.

Over the last week Lily has started to make different sounds from sort of "grunts" to "squeals" of delight, she is a very alert baby and loves to look at the things around her and focuses on people and studies them very carefully. She is allowing me to get more sleep than in the first weeks with her settled into a good sleep pattern at night, although I have also mastered the art of sleeping sitting up!

Last week Lily went to her first Guide camp- at just 3 weeks old I am sure thats a record; Girlguiding certainly likes to recruit them young! My Guides certainly loved our newest member and even made up a song all about Lily!

She is growing well too; last week she weigh 7lb 10oz and measured 53cm in length- she has such long legs!
