lyla- 3 months

our little lyla girl at 3 months:

smiles a ton
coos and makes sweet sounds
takes a bottle when needed like a champ
tolerates her big sister {adalaide} squealing “hi ya-ya” in her face, and also the occasional eye poke
eats every 3 hours during the day
usually sleeps from 8:30 or 9  eats around 4:30-5 ish and wakes up for the day around 9:00
still sleeps most of the day, but she’s getting more sensitive to noise
takes a binky
sleeps swaddled
enjoys tummy time for short periods of time
doesn’t spit up {3 for 3-HOORAY} but has really stinky toots
rolled from her tummy to back-only once so probably a fluke
has dark gray eyes-i’m guessing they’ll go brown

i didn’t get around to taking her for a check up until 2 weeks ago. she was almost 13 lbs (75th %) and 24 inches long (90th %). Interestingly, all 3 girls have had pretty much the exact same stats as babies.

 here are some recent photos of her…

anytime lyla is within reach, adalaide HAS to kiss her.

such a sweet sight to wake up to

see that dimple? i love it!

i thought she looked so adroable unswaddled so i had to capture it.

i finally put together her announcement and mailed them, even though most people have met her by now.

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.
