Two exciting firsts.....

On Monday Lily did a very exciting thing, she held her own beaker, and drank out of it. I was so proud of her, she's growing up so fast.

Yesterday, Lily pulled herself up into a sitting position, she fell straight over afterwards though. She's been doing it again this morning, she's really strong.

The weigh in.

Lily now weighs a whopping 12lbs 9ozs. She's getting enormous!!!!

Competition Winners......

Lily and I were very excited when we went to the post office to collect a parcel today, we have won a Babyworld competition. We have won three fantastic books. "Millicent and Meer", "How to Grow a Dinosaur" and "Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes". They are such fantastic books, really big pages covered in colourful pictures, Lily has loved reaching out to touch them.


We had a lovely BBQ for Auntie Tors birthday yesterday and really enjoyed playing with Auntie Tor, Auntie Amie, and Uncle Mike. Us girls went to play on the park, we went on the swings and the slide, Mummy and Auntie Bear played on the climbing frame too.

Lily The Princess.

Lily and I have been very bad bloggers recently, unfortionately we've been very busy exploring lots of new and exciting things, places and people together.

Lily now weighs a whopping 12lbs 3.5ozs, and she looks less like a newborn and more like a baby now. She's started to outgrow some of her 0-3 months clothes and go into some of her 3-6 months so she really is a big girl.

Since I last blogged, we've had Mothers day together, Lily brought me a lovely Tiffanys knecklace that says "Mummy" on it, we've also celebrated Mummys birthday, Grannies birthday, Grandads birthday and Auntie Tors birthday (although we celebrated the latter two in advance). We've been to visit Granny and Grandad in Skegness, and been up to Hartlepool to see Nana and Grandad, and we've spent lots of time with all Lilys Aunties.

Lily has attended her first formal occaison, Marc and Kellys wedding which was a beautiful day, I was so happy that Lily was so well behaved and she even had a boogie with Mummy and Daddy at the disco afterwards.

Lily has progressed alot in the last couple of months. She can now sit up if supported in her donut, and can hold her head for long periods of time, she has recently discovered her hooves and is really enjoying pulling her socks off so she can try to eat them. She is rolling on her own, and is trying really hard to crawl and sit up on her own without success thus far.

Daddy ran the London marathon in 4hours 8mins, Mummy and Lily were very proud, especially of his medal. Mummy and Lily spent the day with Auntie Amie in the park and had lots of fun.

Today was a very big day for Lily, she had her first proper food, she had some porridge, she liked it very much and didn't make as much mess as Mummy and Daddy were expecting.

Overall it's been an exciting time together and there's still lots to see and learn.
