Sorry I took so long for an update, new mommy-hood keeps me busy. Thanks for the kick in the butt ann marie, :-)
Today is Lily's 2 month birthday, and she is doing wonderfully. She had her well-visit with Dr Casey, her pediatrician, this Thursday and passed with flying colors. She's now 12lbs 10oz (the 95th percentile), which is a huge jump from the 8lbs 7oz she was born as. She's 23.5 inches long now (90th %) and her head circumference is 15.5 inches (75th %, a huge jump from 25th % last visit).
Developmentally Dr Casey said, "It's like she read the book on what 2 month olds are supposed to be able to do." She can hold her head up mostly on her own, and loves being on her tummy doing so. She's very alert and attentive. She especially loves looking at faces and things of high contrast, like the tv, closed vertical blinds & the light sneaking through, or lights themselves.
She also got all of her 2 month shots which she did not like one bit, but had no adverse reactions except being a little sleepy.
The best thing of all is she started smiling, and boy, does she love doing it now. When you play with her she will mirror any faces you make, including another favorite of sticking out your tongue. Smiles are the best because her whole face lights up. It's probably the best thing in the world.
She is such a cutie with her chubby cheeks and beautiful eyes. Rui and I are going picture crazy with her, and you can see most of them on Rui's Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/syphen). Our awesome camera also takes pretty good videos, and those are on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/syphen) to watch. We will constantly be adding more photos and videos of her, so keep checking back. I'm also going to start being good about updating this on events and changes.
We also LOVE visitors, and making trips out and about. So if anyone ever wants to stop by the apartment, or meet somewhere or anything like let us know. You can either call, message, email, im.. anything really.

She's been cooing like mad lately which if anyone has the chance of witnessing, could very well be the cutest thing I've ever heard.
