Today

Tomorrow Lila will be two months old.  I can't believe how fast this time has flown by.  I've tried to enjoy every moment of her newborness- knowing that she is quickly turning into a baby.
  
She is eating like a champ and it appears that she is on track to be just as chunky as her brothers.  She loves to sleep. She has been sleeping best in her car seat because she has been congested.  Two nights ago she slept for a 7.5 hours stretch and I felt like a million bucks all day.  Hoping this turns into a routine soon.

I've been tickled with all of her dark hair, but I've also learned it comes with a price.  She regularly has a matted mess on the back of her head and she has taken to pulling her own hair.  The latter is pretty funny.... I mean sad.  She does it when she's sleeping, awake, happy, or sad, and it always results in a shrieking cry and me trying to pry her hair loose from her super-strong infant grip.  We've found that putting socks on her hands is a must at night or she will wake herself and us up several times.  


Ladd thought Lila fit right in with his stuffed animals.

Brinley was looking at this with me and every time we scrolled to another picture of Lila, in the cutest most sincere adoration she would let out a big, "AWWWWW!" Very sweet : )

Crew use to pull his hair too, it was cute and sad. She is so beautiful Darc, she looks just like her mama! I miss you, it feels like I haven't talked to you in years. That is too long. We need to catch up sometime.
