6 weeks

Lily turned 6 weeks old on Friday. We took our weekly pictures on Friday, but I'm just getting them posted. Lily is doing fine, but I had a rough week. I'm not sure what I came down with, but starting on Wednesday I had a 99 degree fever and just felt yucky all over. I got some medicine on Thursday and finally started feeling better Saturday night. I'm so glad it was me that was sick and not Lily. But it's TOUGH being a Mom and being sick. There's no such thing as 'taking a sick day' from this job.

This week we started 'play time' with Lily. We put her on a blanket on the floor and put a stuffed animal next to her. She can see the animal very well and makes noises and goofy faces at it. We're also trying to do more tummy time and she's doing great with pushing herself up and kicking her feet. Her neck is SO strong.

In this picture we've got 3 of my favorite things represented: a PURDUE blanket, a ZETA strawberry outfit, and a MICKEY MOUSE hat.

Sorry Jamie, but it appears that Lily doesn't like the Mickey ears. It looks like she's going to punch me in this picture and is saying, "Get this thing off me!"
After taking off the hat you can see how bald Lily is on the top of her head. The hair on the back of her head is still growing strong, but she lost all the hair on the top. There some growing back in, but it's very light and fine.
