Magic and Milestones

Yesterday at 11weeks and 1day Lily rolled from her back to her stomach.

We were at Mums and Lily was kicking her legs with no nappy (her absolute favourite time!) she just effortlessly rolled straight onto her stomach.

Mum and I looked at each other with wide open mouthed amazement! There was no real effort on her behalf, just straight over she went. We were not expecting that at all.

I was so proud of Lily I had tears in my eyes!

Lily was also very proud of herself and layed on her stomach talking and smiling.

My goodness where has my baby gone!?

Lily was trying her hardest last night to show Dad her new trick, but it just wasn't working for her. She was getting very frustrated.

Here is Lily after she rolled over yesterday. Note the cheeky little grin.

Here is Lily at 10w 4d On Thursday night it all got a bit much for Lily and she fell asleep in her swing, so cute.
On Sunday morning we started the day with a lovely bath.
We then went Christmas shopping, which was a very stressful outing! Cameron hates shopping at the best of times and coupled with a pram, trolley and the Christmas rush, resulted in a few heated words being exchanged! Why oh why have I left my shopping to the last minute?!

By the time we got home Lily was very tired, she doesn't sleep at the shops anymore, there is just too much to look at to allow those eyes to close for anymore than 10 minutes!

So tired Lily was that she slept for 4 hours! Right through a visit from her Grandma and Grandpa. Here she is sleeping in her favourite position. She was wrapped when I put her down, but those arms always make their way out! The magic part of this entry, i'm not exactly sure, I just thought the title had a nice ring to it. The magic can be the overwhelming love that I feel for Lily.
Sometimes I look at her and I literally feel as though I am going to burst with love, it is the most amazing feeling.

The other night we were all sitting on the floor in the lounge, Cameron was laying down with Lily while she was playing on her playmat, I just felt this overwhelming excitement for everything we are all going to experience together, all the firsts, the milestones and adventures that together as a family we are going to share in. Such an amazing journey we have embarked upon.

To finish this entry is a picture of Lily and I having a cuddle last night.
