Mommy's Idea

Josh was outside taking pictures of his friend's motorcycle to put up on Craigslist, so Lilah and I went outside to check it out.  Yes, it was my idea to take pictures of Lilah on the bike with Josh.

PS - this isn't Josh writing this post.

Two Months Old

Life with Lilah is wonderful!  She has brought a lot of joy to our lives and home.

~She is really interacting with us, she smiles all the time and we have heard a few giggles too.
~She seems to be a morning person, always has a smile for us when we get her up in the morning.
~She started "talking" to us, she loves to lay on her playmat and talk to the baby in the mirror.
~She started sleeping through the night almost 2 weeks ago - one night she slept 9 hours!
~She weighs 12lbs 6oz and is 24 inches long.
~I went back to work this past Monday, so Lilah spends her days with Grandma - Monday was a
  very rough day for mommy, but we know she is in good hands and being loved on all day.

"Hmmm, can I have cookies with my milk?"

"I've got a question for Daddy & Mommy"

"Who is this little cutie pie I'm looking at in the mirror"

Naps with Daddy are the best

Being 2months old is very tiring

The reason this blog is a day late is because
we had a storm last night and lost electricity

Nappy Hour

We haven't gone anywhere or done anything exciting that is worth a blog post, so I thought I'd post funny pictures of Lilah sleeping.

Before Lilah was born I thought quite a bit about whether she was going to be a good sleeper, I even prayed a few times that God would bless us with a baby that slept well.  Lilah has been sleeping in her crib since her 2nd night home from the hospital. We have had a few long nights, but she has become a great sleeper, most nights she sleeps 4-5 hours between bottles.  So far she we have had two nights where she has slept for 7 hours before waking me up!! Now I didn't sleep for 7 hours, because I woke up worried and had to check on her.  She also goes back to bed easily after her middle of the night meals.  Daddy is another story....once he is asleep for the night, he doesn't hear a thing. Whether she was or wasn't a good sleeper, we are blessed to have her as our daughter.

The boppy was great purchase

When she gets tired she puts her hand over one of her eyes

"Please no more pictures while I am sleeping"

Exhausted from tummy time

Daddy's lap is so comfortable

First 4th

We didn't do anything exciting for Lilah's first 4th of July....stayed home and relaxed with Daddy.

We finally caught Lilah smiling in a picture!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Meeting Family

Lilah has been meeting lots of family over the last month,
