Hard to realize that four weeks ago today our lives were changed forever in the middle of the night!
Now a full nights rest and hopping in the car to run a quick errand are vague memories.
Lillian is growing more and more everyday — here are some milestones from this week:
1) She can hold her head up briefly when laying on her tummy and turn it from one side to the other
2) She’s staying awake about 4-6 hours everyday and she’s very alert when she’s awake
3) She can follow my face (or an object) with her eyes when it moves slowly in front of her face
4) She’s so curious when she’s awake — she loves looking at things that have high contrast, she will just stare around the room and look at every little thing.
5) She’s waking up once during the night to eat (very nice!) and can go about 3-4 hours between each feeding
For the 4th of July we had plans to go watch the Rockwall Fireworks at Harry Myers Park and to spend the following day at Gary’s parents house. Lillian did great at the fireworks show — we had great weather, a slight breeze and some fun family time. We were worried the fireworks would be too loud but they didn’t bother her at all and she was wide awake during the fireworks!
We’ve been capturing lots of pictures and video’s this past month 
The next day we went to Sulphur Springs and spent the day — it was our first full day away from the house and Lillian did really good. We were exhausted at the end of the day but she did great seeing all of her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents!
Lastly, here is a post partum update for me: I’m excited that I’m 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight (I gained 30 lbs). I can start to really work out soon and I’m ready to try and tackle these last pounds to get back into my pre-pregnancy wardrobe sooner rather than later!
