102 Days Old (Lily Holds Her Bottle)

Lily Can Hold Her Bottle!

Ok, so last night Lily held her bottle with two hands for the first time ... really just supporting it with two club-like fists while it was in her mouth ... we were all impressed ... then she took it to the next level AND SOME this morning ... not only did she hold the bottle open handed with fingers engaged ... but she pulled it away from her mouth for awhile and looked around ... then put it back into her mouth!! She then did it a couple more times for good measure ... a few of the attempts ran into her cheek, but always found their way into the mouth ... she's growing up so fast!!

101 Days Old (Sunglasses & Sundress!)

Lily's First Sundress (& Shades)

The sun is out, the weather is nice, so Lily tried on her new sundress (thanks to her future boyfriend Cooper)

... posing for the camera

Awwwww

... and she has to wear shades when she goes out, to hide from the paparazzi

Always with the silly faces, she never takes life too seriously ...

Eh ... not impressed by schwarma

Flashback from an Ipad

Flashback from an Ipad

As I was updating to iOS 6, I stumbled across a collection of photos taken from the Ipad. These long lost photos serve as an invaluable glimpse into the past. We will be able to see the growth of one Lily O'Dowd Dilloughery through never-before-seen footage. Hold on to your seats, and keep your limbs inside the carriage at all times ... because once this ride starts, we won't be able to stop

... we will start in the womb, before we even knew the gender of this pudgy face ...

... and we had to prepare

... a star is born!

... at five days old she is already gorgeous ... but still tiny

... ten days old, she has grown ... and there are no signs of stopping!

... one month old, and her growth seems to be tapering off ...

... but her looks are still on a meteoric rise ...

... and she knows how to use that camera!

... it's not possible, this baby must have eaten Lily ... at nearly three months old, she looks to be the size of a small planet ... but this newly fed baby-eater looks so happy and cute!

Awww
