Lilah: 2 Months

Wednesday, August 24, 2011







Dear Lilah,



I know I keep saying this but-- where has the time gone?! I cannot believe you are two months old already. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital. In these two short months you've made me and Daddy just the happiest and proudest people on earth! You are such a sweet little, happy girl! My favorite time of the day is waking up to your smiling face. You are such a morning baby! And, it might be because you sleep so well at night! :)




You have been consistently sleeping 7, 8 sometimes 9 hours a night!! You usually go down pretty easily but some nights you need a little more rocking or listening to Dave Matthews than others. And, occasionally you just want to sit outside with Daddy on the patio and watch the Military Channel or HGTV before going to sleep. Daddy loves this because you put up with his shows more than I do! :) You're still sleeping in our room in the Pack-n-Play and we're going to try to start transitioning you to your big girl crib very soon. I think this is going to be tougher on Daddy than you--he's not ready to move you to your own room.




A couple weeks ago you finally took a bottle. We struggled with this for a few weeks. You did not like the bottle one bit! But, you've been doing well once we found one that you like. You much rather prefer your fist than a paci. We've tried several different pacifiers and you just don't seem to like them and we are just fine with that.




You make the sweetest most cutest little noises! I love our little conversations. You repeat different sounds that I make and I think you are the smartest little girl when you do this!




You love trips outside of the house! You are so good and content when we make trips to the store or go out to eat. Last weekend you, me, and Daddy went out to dinner for mexican. You were wide awake when we first got there and were fast asleep within 2 minutes of walking through the door. Even our waiter was impressed at how fast you fell asleep! :) Daddy said he wished we could get a recording of the mexican music that was playing for your sound machine.




You continue to amaze us each day with all your new discoveries and with the little things you do each day. We love you so much baby girl! Happy 2 months!!

This sweet little shirt was the very first thing I bought when we found out we were having a baby girl! She just looks so angelic while getting in a little tummy time.

Little Princess

Lilah attended her very first birthday party this past weekend. Madeline turned 4 years old and celebrated with a Princesses and Pirates themed birthday party complete with a magician. Lilah slept through the entire thing but I'm pretty sure she had a good time! :)


This was before we left...she was a little mad at me for putting her in her princess outfit






With the birthday girl! Happy Birthday Madeline!

Lilah: 6 Weeks

Our little 6 week "wild" child!


4 Generations

This weekend Grammy and Great-Grandma CC came to visit! The weekend was full of shopping and both Lilah and her mommy were both very spoiled! Lilah was just a little show-off all weekend--she did so good while we carted her around from store to store, she slept for 8 hours Saturday night so we could all get a full night's sleep, she smiled and entertained us each day, and she FINALLY took a bottle! She has been battling the bottle for several weeks so last week we started bottle-bootcamp. I'm so happy to report that she is now taking a bottle! Yay for her!!!

Thank you Grammy and GG CC for EVERYTHING! We can't wait for another visit! We LOVE you!!

It's a Girl!!

Lilah will be gaining a new little friend this December. Allison just found out that she will be expecting a sweet baby girl!! We are so excited!! For the big reveal Lilah and I made a trip to the office. We found out the sex of the baby by breaking open a pinata--Dave was kind (and brave)enough to be the pinata holder!
