Bobbing for Binkies

I meant to post this video weeks ago... I just love Lily's determination to get the binky back in her mouth. Go Lily!!

Lily's Blessing

Trent blessed Lily last Sunday. It's funny... she really rarely cries. However, as soon as he started the blessing, she started to cry. Interesting. Everything turned out great. Lily's Grandma Sharp made her blessing dress. It was gorgeous. The pictures really don't do it justice. My mom and I went and had some pictures taken of her today in the dress. Honestly, she didn't love having her pictures taken. Some of them looked pretty good though. For such a happy baby, she sure didn't want to smile for the photographer today.

Here are some pictures of our event on Sunday:

Waiting for the big event

Trent looks so happy!

More Pictures

Lily is 3 months old now... okay I said it. I can't believe how fast time flies and how much she's grown! Monday was her official 3 month mark. Sunday Trent blessed her. Saturday was her first time jumping on the trampoline. It's been a big week for us!

First Easter Basket. Thanks 'Bama & Papa Sharp... and Great Grandma Austin!!

Musical Therapy

Although Lily is a very good baby when it comes to her crying frequency, there are occasional times when she simply isn't happy. It's times like those that her Aunt Elizabeth breaks out in song, dances around with her, and "scares" her into silence. Whatever it takes!! Lily loves it when her aunt sings and dances with her.

The video below is a nice rendition of Cruella de Vil. It certainly was entertainment for all! Thanks Elizabeth!!

New Hobby

Lily has recently (within the last couple of weeks) discovered a new hobby. She may have discovered this earlier except that we always kept her hands covered. Now that she is "free"... she just can't get enough of her index finger on her left hand. Occasionally, she manages to slip her thumb in her mouth as well. Sometimes she sucks so hard on it that I'm afraid she'll do some damage to it... but then I just think, "oh well, at least it's her left hand!"

She managed to get the thumb in for this photo:

The red index finger shows the aftermath of a "Lily attack"

Evidence of the new Hobby:

Proof

I still feel somewhat emotionally damaged after holding Lily's arms down while she got her two month shots. She was so happy before her doctor's appointment and so unhappy after. Here's your proof:

If a picture says a thousand words... then a video says EVERYTHING. Poor thing. My own little "angry elf"...
