News and a new blog

The sign says "I am going to be a big sister!" and from Lily's expression she is a little shocked. :)

That's right, we are expecting another in the beginning of December. We are all very excited and couldn't wait any longer to share the news with everyone.

I am going to be making the switch to a new blog in the next few weeks since I will be posting about Lily and this new little one (who does not have a cute nickname yet) and think the blog should be titled something more about our family than just "Peanut". As soon as I get the new blog up and running I will let everyone know. Don't expect it for a couple weeks though as this pregnancy has been very different so far (might be because I am chasing Lily around too) and I am constantly tired and nauseous.

Now that it is after 10pm, and that is after my current bed time, I am going to go. Just wanted to share the news with everyone.

Lily update

Wow, I have been slacking when it comes to blogging recently. I'm sure I could come up with a million excuses, but the real reason is that I actually forgot about it. Oops!

Anyway, Lily had her 15 month well visit the other day and the pediatrician is very happy with how she is doing. She is now 18.5lbs (2nd percentile), 30.25 inches (42nd percentile), and her head is 17.5 inches (13th percentile). It is great to see her start moving up on the weight chart again. I will admit that we haven't really been doing the high fat diet like we were supposed to because she won't eat most of those foods. I decided it was better to feed her stuff she would eat rather than just sit high fat stuff in front of her and have her push it away. Yesterday she did surprise me though and ate a whole plate full of stuff and then asked for more (any by more, she wanted some dessert). She is now able to eat everything except peanut products which makes it so much easier when going places with her because I don't have to pack her separate food.

Her personality is really starting to show up. She is a little ham. She loves when people are watching her and will give you a big smile when she knows that you are. She also likes to tickle us, start to hand us toys and then pull them away, and be chased (especially when mom is trying to wipe a runny nose!). Lily is also a climber. She has figured out how to get on the couch and also the kitchen table. If something is too high for her she will pull over a footstool, or anything else to stand on, to try to get up.

I will try to get some pictures and video up this weekend because I have a three day weekend.
