Flying Baby Fun

The Baby is Getting Bigger! I cannot believe how much she changes everyday! There is always something new, a facial expression, a noise, something she likes, or doesn't like...

The video shows Lila getting an airplane ride and then enjoying her favorite toy, a piece of paper with black lines. During my reading, I learned that black and white lines are good stimulation for young babies and it works for Lila. She follows the lines right to left and up and down. With all the technology out there, who would have guessed?

Smiles

So Lila has been smiling... I finally got one on camera but it is blurry. But a smile is a smile and worth a thousand words. The weather has been so nice we have been taking walks and she loves the stroller, or maybe that is me because it allows me to get out of the house and make some vitamin D. She is getting bigger all the time and is over 10 pounds now. She has actually grown out of some of her clothes and is no longer in newborn diapers! Oh the things that get us excited. Granny Angie and Grandpa are back to visit and our kitchen smells so good. The house is full of laughter...

A smile!

Lila, Jeremy, and the Wii!

She likes the football hold and it is good practice for holding up her head!

Lila is Two Months Old!

We went to the doctor today for the two month appointment. She weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces - 4 pounds more than when she was born! She has also grown 2 1/4 inches and is now 20 3/4 inches. Scott made it to the appointment and we asked all kinds of questions.

I asked about walking her in the stroller in cold weather and they said it is OK as long as she is dressed appropriately - so we went for our first walk. Lila in a bear suit and Daisy strapped to my waist. Lila was sleeping but she didn't protest and I'm excited to explore the outdoors with her now that I know it is safe:).

Lila has smiled and she can lift her head pretty well for short periods of time. She is becoming more alert and aware of her surroundings everyday. She made her first trip to Seattle the other day. 11 of my Mom's 12 siblings and my Grandma were in attendance so they all got to see the baby.

My parents have been staying with us and their company is the best thing I could ask for. They are loving Lila and helping me sleep and function. THANK YOU!

Great Grandma Rose - I have the prettiest Grandma's!

Four generations!

It's been a while!

Lila is doing well. She has gained 38 ounces in the last month, which is great. She often likes to be awake in the middle of the night and those of you who were lucky enough to have your babies fall right back to sleep during night time feedings, please don't tell me about it because sleep deprivation is killing me. I thank GOD for sending me my parents to help me. Better days are to come, there is light at the end of the tunnel. But for now, we deal with the hand we were dealt and pray about it. Hope all is well. Please pray for my cold and Lila's to go away!
