I knew Lily's birthday was coming up soon, but I just logged into one of the baby websites I am a member of and it told me that my baby's birthday is 20 days away! 20 days seems so soon. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was complaining about how uncomfortable I was and how I just wanted to hold my little girl in my arms instead of my belly. This year has gone by entirely too fast. I'm sure the next 17 years are going to go just as fast.
A couple updates. Lily loved Thanksgiving. Although I think she enjoyed playing with the food more than eating it...pictures to come.
She now has 4 teeth. And she likes to grind them. And bite with them.
She still isn't walking. I think she just doesn't thinking about. Crawling is just so much faster and something that she knows so walking doesn't even come to her mind. I know that as soon as she does learn how to walk though she will be running. She is constantly moving.

Teeth
Yes teeth, as in multiple. Lily has teeth! I noticed the other bottom tooth had broken through on Thursday. Then yesterday she was trying to chew on my finger and something sharp got me from the top of her mouth too. I'm sure getting two new teeth while fighting an ear infection and high temp does not feel good. I do not blame her one bit for being fussy this week.

Ear infection
Lily has her first illness...an ear infection. :(
It started on Tuesday when the babysitter said that Lily was being really fussy (which she hardly ever is) and that she felt warm. She took her temp and it was around 102. I picked her up early and gave her some ibuprofen and the fever broke. She was still not quite herself that evening and slept more than normal.
Wednesdays she goes to my mom's house so we were lucky that my mom still agreed to watch her so that neither Sean nor I had to miss work. She was a little warm when I dropped her off, but nothing like the day before. My mom called at 10:30 saying that she wasn't really eating, slept a lot more than normal, and had a temp of over 103. I called the pediatrician and they got her in. While I wanted to be with her so badly but I knew that my mom could handle this (she had done alright raising me at least) and therefore she took her to the appointment. When the nurse took her temp it was 105.1! They checked her over and said that she has an ear infection and gave her some antibiotics. She was super lethargic all day with my mom, barely even wanting to open her eyes.
We have been giving her ibuprofen and acetaminophen every few hours and she hasn't had a fever since yesterday. Sean was able to work from home today so he stayed with our little sicky. She is still not herself completely (especially if the meds are wearing off) but overall is doing much better. She is playing on the floor and "talking" just like she always does. She is still a little bit more cuddly, but that is ok by me :)

Halloween!
Here are some pictures from Halloween festivities.
Lily found the pumpkin she liked
But she didn't like her bare feet in the grass!
Just Lily's size
Having fun being a scarecrow
Mommy and Lily as pumpkins
Getting ready for trick or treat
"I don't like this"
Trying to get the mohawk to stay up
but it kept falling over
We went as a rock band

Personality
Lily's personality is really starting to show. She loves to play tricks and make people laugh. The other day she was holing out her puffs for the dog to take. I wasn't sure what the dog was going to do so I just watched for a bit. The dog very gently tried to take it and Lily would not let go! And then she started giggling. The dog just looked at me confused. Selene tried to take it again and this time Lily let her have it. This whole cycle continued through about 5 puffs.
Lily also loves to start to crawl away from you quickly and if you say "I'm gonna get you" then she squeals and crawls away even quicker. She keeps stopping to look back at you though to make sure you are still coming and then laughs again and crawls away.
She has also started laughing when she is doing something wrong. She is now tall enough to reach everything on the entertainment center by the tv, such as remotes and our Netflix dvds. She kept going over to them, looking at me, giggling, trying to get them and then when I told her no and moved her away she would laugh really hard. It is very hard to not laugh too.

We have a tooth!
Her first tooth is officially here. On Monday both Sean and I could see a little bit of it, but now there is no mistaking it. It is sharp when you feel her gums and it is very visible. Her tongue keeps twirling around over it. I'm sure it feels quite weird to her.

New Gross Motor Skills and Food
Lily has had a couple big accomplishments in the last week as far as gross motor skills go. Firstly she went up the stairs at my parents' house last week. That time only my mom was around and she said it took her a little while to do it. Last night we went over there for dinner and she did it again, very quickly. It is like she has been doing it forever.
Just a few minutes ago she stood up all on her own. Without holding on to anything. I saw her do it and when she was fully standing I kinda squealed and said "good job" and she promptly sat/fell back down. I'm not sure when she is going to attempt this again, but she is a lot closer to walking now than she was this morning.
She has been trying all sorts of new foods. My work had a get together the other night and she swiped a lemon wedge off my boss' plate and started sucking on it. At first she made a face like she didn't like it, but when we took it away she screamed. When we gave it back she just kept sucking on it. She also had pot roast last night for dinner. My parents had us over for dinner and instead of feeding Lily her own stuff I just cut up some of my meat and veggies real small and she loved them. After a while though they were a bit more fun to play with than actually eat. It is nice that she is starting to eat the same things we are eating and trying to feed herself because it gives me more of a chance to eat my own food while it is warm.
