she is growing so fast...

lillian has officially grown out of her newborn onsies! ah! i can't believe it. she is growing like a little weed and is more and more beautiful every day :)

check this out...a picture of lillian during her nap today. the picture sitting next to her is of me when i was a newborn! uncanny how much we look alike, huh?

hank is in there for sure...but, i love seeing the resemblance she has to me too :)

since the weather has been so nasty, lillian, the dogs and i have been stuck in the house. luckily, this morning, although cold, wasn't wet so we took a trip to ugly mugs- our favorite coffee shop. she and i just hung out, drinking coffee, checking out the ny times...i loved it. it really is the simple things. i can't wait to share all my favorite places and things with her as she grows up. i wish so much for her, and know hank and i will do anything in our power to show her possibility is endless. and she is loved, no matter what.

a friend directed me toward a new blog this morning, and i have to share a quote from it. it is a guest post from a mother about her advice to new moms/moms to be:

"Trust your instincts. You might not think you know what you're doing, but I promise you do.

Expect that it will hurt, expect that it will be hard, and expect that you can do it anyway. You're a rockstar, after all. You were made for this.

Cherish those first few days. They are straight up magic."

love it. beautifully said.
