Lily turns 5 months old today! At her last check up she weighed 15 pounds and was 24 inches long. She is happy and playful, and her smiles are not just gums anymore...her two teeth poked through on the bottom two weeks ago. She is having trouble sleeping through the night due to her teething I assume. I hope it doesn't last too long since Eric & I are now used to getting a good amount of zzz's. I am starting to teach part-time again. I am really excited about it but also sad that it will nights & weekends...time away from my little family. Lily is my little audience of one as I try to choreograph for all my classes...she's diggin the Latin music I've been using lately. Eric & I went out for the first time, the Weigands babysat for us, and we went Salsa dancing with my new friend Adriana. It was so much fun and totally a unique expereince! I love immersing myself in other cultures. The rhythms, the people, the language, I totally felt I was in another world. Poor little Lily didn't have the best time (or should I say poor Steve & Lindsay). When we called to check on her she was crying and I don't think she really stopped. Well, at least Eric & I got to dance the merengue! Baby Lily will be getting Dedicated on Feb.18th at our church. I am really excited about this, it's so meaningful to me. I love tradition and symbolism and declaring our intent to raise her in Faith. Mostly, I can't wait to put her in a prettey white dress with tights & all! I am totally a mom.
