4 Month Dr. Appointment

I don't have any new pictures to post...can you believe that?! Lily had her 4 month check up yesterday and she is doing great! Lily weighs 15lbs 8 ounces and she is 26 inches long. She is in the 90th percentile for her weight and in the 97th percentile for her length...going to be tall like her Daddy! The Dr. made the comment "for how chubby she is she doesn't really have a butt." I remarked..."Just like her Dad!" (Jason is by no means chubby, but he never has had a butt!) I had been nervous all week long for Lily's shots, and I didn't need to be! Lily was a champ! She only briefly cried with each initial poke, and then she was done and back to her happy smiling self...I was so proud of her! It was so much easier than last time...on her and on mom and dad. Lily could care less about the rice cereal. The Dr. said to just keep practicing with her and to keep trying it and that she would eventually get it. She does better each time we give it to her, but she doesn't eat much of it. Lily has been able to roll her self over since the end of December, but she hasn't been able to get herself back from her tummy to her back...until last night! She rolled over onto her tummy and back to her back! She did this a few times last night and when she first got herself back over onto her back she looked around like "hey, how did that happen?!" It was so funny! I forgot to post that last weekend was my first night away from her. Yes...I work nights so I am away from her 3 nights a week, but it is not the same as her beign away from home. Jason took Lily with him back home for another family Christmas ( I couldn't go because I had to work). I was against her going, but I knew that everyone wanted to see her. I cried as they pulled out of the driveway and I watched them as they pulled away until I could no longer see them. I just wasn't ready to be away from her. They were only gone for one night and Jason called me frequently to let me know how things were going, and he brought her home to me early on Sunday. It was hard...I cried and called them right away when I woke up to go to work Saturday night to make sure she was okay. It was so weird to wake up and not have her there. They had a good time back home and everything went well...Mommy just wasn't quite ready!
