10 weeks

Little Miss Lila Kate turned 10 weeks old this week! It has been the most wonderful 10 weeks ever! I'm quite sad that I have to return to work, but 7 weeks will pass and then I get my summer break with her! So I'm thinking positive!! Easter pictures coming soon!!

9 weeks

I'm a few days behind on posting. We had LK's 9 week birthday this week! She is growing so much! She is also getting chunky! I swear she gets heavier everyday! She also has the beginnings of some serious fat rolls-which are the cutest on babies!! (Not adults!!) She is sleeping pretty much all night! Only 1 feeding around 4 or 5! I'm so proud! She took one nap in her crib this week, but I'm determined that she's going to nap more in it this week. We had lots of tummy time this week. I'm trying really hard to get her neck stronger so she can hold her head up.

2 months!!

Holy cow, Lila Kate is 2 months old today - St. Patrick's Day! These have been the best 2 months at home with my angel! I can't believe it's only 2 more weeks and I'm back at school! :( no fun!

So here is our 2 month list:

- eats one tablespoon of organic rice cereal in her last bottle before bedtime, other feedings are just plain formula (3.5-4 oz)

- smiles! A lot!! I get extra big smiles when she is laying on the changing table.

- wears size 1 diapers

- can finally wear some of her smocks and feltman dresses!!! And doesn't mind the matching bonnet!

- has one pair of shoes that fit her long flat feet

- interested in Charlie and us - she watches and coos at us

- experienced her first parade! Mal's St. Paddy's parade downtown

- hair is still abundant and seems to be turning a shade of red :)

- wears anywhere from size 3 to 6 (depends on the style and brand)

- still sleeps in her bassinet beside me. She sleeps in her swaddle blanket and gets anywhere from 4-6 hours in between feedings :) yay!!

It's March! 7 weeks!!

Oh my goodness, it is March! Aagghhhhhhhh!!! That means my time at home is coming to an end!! I'm going to enjoy the last few weeks I have at home with Lila Kate. She is staying awake for longer periods of time and I can put her on her playmat and she enjoys it. I'm also letting her sleep in her swaddle suit - 5-6 hours of straight sleep!! Fabulous!!

6 weeks

Well, a big milestone this week - round 1 of shots! It was sad to see her hurt during the shots but knowing that she's being protected from harmful diseases made the hurt worth it. She was very fussy and feverish last night. Spent most of the time in my arms. But the day after shots (today) she was happy and back to herself.
