4 Months

How has this happened? How can Lily possilby be 4 months old?!

Mind you I am so glad that all of the stress, anxiety and worry are behind us now. I know that the birth of your child especially your first, is supposed to be the most amazing time of your life. It was on some levels for the most part is was the most stressful week of my life. I am so glad that we have now put all of that behind us.

I am much happier to have times such as those we shared this morning. I awoke at 6:00am to Lily happily, I might add loudly chatting away in her cradle, when I looked over at her she erupted into the biggest smile, and happily chatted throughout her first feed for the morning. It is times such as these that just totally melt me. That little girl is my entire world, my universe just completely revolves around her, and oh my does she know it!

For the most part Lily is the perfect baby, she is however acutely aware that I am right there ready to respond to her every whim and call.

Here is a picture of Lily with her teddy at 4 months, she is growing so much against this teddy each month.

What my baby is up to at 4 months.

~ In the past week Lily now rolls onto her tummy with hardly any effort at all. She only likes to be on her tummy for a few minutes and then whinges to be rolled over again. Now she just needs to figure out how to roll onto her back.

~ Lily almost always wakes up in a good mood, and is happy to chat and play for 20minutes to half an hour before she wants to be fed.

~ Lily is still waking for a feed at least once a night, but will sleep through perhaps once a week, it is amazing how human you feel after a good 8 hours solid sleep.

~ Lily is trying so hard to sit up, when I lay her down to change her bottom, or just recently when I put her to bed, she gets the cutest look of concerntration on her face and lifts her head and shoulders up off the surface that she is laying on. She is getting very strong!

I will come back and edit this post as I remember other things my princess is amazing us with.

Lily's 4 month birthday was shared with an equally important global event, Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated as America's President.

I was lucky enough to be up feeding Lily during his speech, it was the most amazing telecast to watch.
Even here in Australia it is easy to get swept up in the excitement and buzz that is being created worldwide by Mr Obama.

The sheer volume of people that turned out to watch this event blew me away, they were saying in excess of 3 million people braved sub zero temperatures to be part of the amazing event.

I love this picture of Barack and Michelle Obama dancing at the Innauguration Ball, they are just such a happy, glamourous couple that are clearly so in love.

I am excited to watch how Barrack is going to shape and mould America over the coming months and years. He is certainly carrying a lot of pressure and anticipation from many people.
