lyla’s first week

It’s hard to believe our first week with Lyla is already behind us. She is the most tiny, snuggly, perfect little thing {i’m allowed to say that right?}. She eats like it is going out of style, sleeps most deeply during the day {argh!}, and has proven to have a high tolerance for noise and a certain ‘helpful’ sister shoving a binky in her eye. Our first couple days at home had me nervous, to be honest. Finley tried every naughty trick in the book to attract some extra attention, and Adalaide just wanted her mama to pick her up- which i wasn’t supposed to do right after my surgery. Of course things have calmed down, we’re settling in to life with 3 and trying to soak up every second of lyla’s newborn yumminess.

also, this week we took miss adalaide in for her 12 month check up {a little late-oops}

weight: 24 lbs 75th %

height: 32 in. above 100th %

you’d think that her ginormous legs would have her walking by now. no. close, but not quite yet.

  1. the pics of lyla are beautiful!! she looks like a little china doll, perfection. little (well not so little!) miss adalaide looks like such big girl, she looks like she’s at least two. she’ll be walking soon enough. i know it’s hard not picking her up but she’ll be up in your arms soon. nice job on this post, your pictures are beautiful as always.

  2. thanks mom. i followed the whole ‘not picking up ada’ rule for about a day. it was torture listening to her cry and reach out for me. and the dr. thought she looked old as well. i believe her words were ” so, is she two and some change?” ha.

  3. My word…I want to eat that little Lyla up!! She is such a bundle….beautiful!! I agree with Mimi- wonderful pictures Meghan.
    Now what can we say about our little Adalaide- what a character. I think half of her weight is her BIG heart that continually pours out its love to everyone. She is special!!!

  4. Some how I got to your blog one day. I love the pictures of your beautiful family! Where can I find those headbands that your little one has on?
