So I can't figure out how to make it so I can put captions on the pictures... I did it once... Maybe I'll play with it when I have more time later.
For now, here's what the pictures are of (starting with the top):
1. Liliana in her Elmo dress. It fits her so well now and I'm pretty sure it won't next week!
2. Liliana and Derek sleeping... they do that a lot. They are doing it right now, actually.
3. Liliana's cute little Winnie the Pooh outfit on the day before Derek's graduation. That's what she wore to the commencement.
4. Our little family on the day of Derek's graduation. It was probably one of the most exciting days ever!!! (And look how cute her polka dot dress is!!! I love it!!!) We are so proud of Derek and all he has accomplished. He is an inspiration to me and will be such a wonderful example for our family. Yay Derek!!!!!
5. Liliana sitting up on the couch. She loves to sit like this so she can see what's going on around her. And look at those long legs!!!
6. Liliana sitting on the couch again. I love her hair in this picture! It sticks straight up in the back!
7. Liliana smiling... I love that smile. This is a close up picture of her blessing gown. It is SOOOO pretty! She looked just like a little princess in it!
8. Liliana in her blessing gown. And look at that big huge smile!
So there are some pics. Ain't she a doll?!? So there's not much to update on. Today was Liliana's blessing. She was (as always) so well behaved the whole time. It was a beautiful blessing and she looked absolutely stunning in her gown. We're still moving (no whining, people! this is a GOOD thing!!!) and that's really all that's happening right now. Derek is working from 6 AM to 3 PM so we get to spend a lot more time together. He's still a zombie by 8 PM, but I'm not complaining. He's getting all caught up on his two years of not getting enough sleep. I think he's really enjoying not being in school anymore. He seems so much happier. Not that he was ever UNhappy, but I guess he's just more relaxed now so it feels happier around him. Liliana is still an angel. She sleeps well and eats well and is sooooo cute! I spend most of the day just talking to her and playing with her. The other day she laughed!! It was the cutest sound ever! ...even if it was at the expense of my eye (I poked myself in the eye on accident and made some odd sound and she laughed). She makes a lot of noise like she wants to be talking. She is very alert. When someone new starts talking or moving around her she will stop everything and all her focus will be on that person for a minute. It makes me laugh. She is such a daddy's girl!! She gives him the biggest smiles. She is also getting better at grasping onto things like her rattle and these little ring things. She loves to sit up. If she isn't sleeping then she wants to be sitting up and looking around, and she's even holding her head up on her own most of the time! My little baby is growing up so fast!!!! As for me, I'm just loving being at home with my Liliana and telling her everything I know. I didn't think I'd love being a mom as much as I do. I actually thought that I would get bored being at home all day with her but I absolutely LOVE it. I don't have time to get bored between laundry, bottle making, and playing with Liliana! But I love every minute of it. Ok, MOSTLY every minute. I won't lie, some nights I sooooo do not want to drag myself out of bed to feed her, but then when I do it I don't mind it. It's just another opportunity to see her smile. She does that a lot and I LOVE it!!! Hahaha. I'm just so happy!!!
5 weeks til we move!!!!
Peace out homefrys!!!
