What's in a Month

I can hardly believe that Lilly was a month old last Friday. Now we can start counting her age in months instead of just weeks! Sometimes it seems like she has been with us forever, other times it seems like she was just born last week. Over the last week she has been getting better at going longer stretches at night without eating, but she has a hard time getting to sleep some nights, and sometimes she wakes in the early morning with stomach pain and grunts for a couple hours. Also, she is really good at sleeping while being held, and waking up a minute after being put down. But mostly we can't complain because she is a very happy/calm baby. She is getting better and better every week at eating, sleeping, playing, holding her head up, etc. We love having her in our little family. And we are all getting excited for Christmas in a few days! Do you think that Christ slept through the night when he was a baby? Just wondering.

Lilly has been wearing hats and bows in pictures a lot because it's cute and because she decided to develop some baldness in the past couple weeks. Here she is in all her chubby, bald glory:

And some more pictures to get in the Christmas spirit:
