Baby vs. Baby

The Valentines came to visit. Zoe is just as cute as Lilyana. They are so different though they are almost the same age. Their personalities have already begun to show themselves. Zoe is contemplative. Lily is vocal. I wonder how they will change over time.

The Daytrippers

The heat has finally let up so we went out to the park. Lily really loved it. This morning we woke up and it was cool out! I can't wait to show Lily how beautiful the world can be when you're not trying to avoid the scalding sun.

Busy Day!

She has been making purposeful sounds for at least a week now but today, she replied to me with a sound! Then she laughed at herself. She kept doing it! I made her sound back at her and she replied again. I know every baby does it but it is amazing to me. Also, she really noticed her feet today. She studied them like she does my face. My little girl is growing up.

Expression

Lilyana is incredibly expressive. Sometimes, through eye contact, I feel as if we have had deep communication. She coos sometimes and makes other communicative sounds. I feel as if we understand one another. Several times, I have been surprised when she then "acts like a baby" and fusses or cries. As if I had forgotten how young she really is now.

I'll post photos later. For some reason, blogspot won't post photos for me now.
