1 Month Old!

Our little girl is officially one month old! I am torn between feeling like Lillian has been with us for so much longer than one short month and disbelief that she is already that old. According to my dad, she has already experienced a "birthday" and came to visit this weekend baring LOTS of gifts to celebrate. The humorous part is that since I have an actual birthday (the yearly kind!) coming up on the 14th, I assumed that the large bag of gifts he brought were mine and got quite excited. You can imagine my surprise when I was informed that they were all for Lillian's one month birthday. Luckily, I love her so much that I am more than happy for her to get all of the attention - which is probably good as I have a feeling that will be the case for a long time to come! :)
We went to the pediatrician on Friday for her 4 week checkup and everything looked great. Lillian is already up to 9 lbs and 5 ozs from the 7 lbs and 6 ozs she was when we left the hospital! She is in the 50th percentile for weight and head size (I never even knew this was something they rated) and in the 75th percentile for height. Not that I think she will be tall, but coming from such a long line of short people, I do find it funny that she is above average in the height category!

Brad is already the most amazing dad and loves her SO much! Her little feet sticking out the bottom cracks me up.



Finally, I couldn't resist getting on the bandwagon and posting our results from the look-alike meter. I find it interesting that it says Lillian looks equally like Brad and I because I still see so much more of her daddy than me when I look at her!

Okay, she has grown so much in just two weeks! I love the feet sticking out of the blanket. She is kicked back relaxing. I also love the picture of her looking straight at the camera. That is framable (sp?)!!! I feel justified in making this comment since I used the meter, it so off base. I think it puts most kids at 50/50 regardless. It was fun nonetheless.
