Lyla loves bath time, being outside, constant cuddles, and music
Lyla doesn't like being taken from the bath, evenings, tummy time, and shots
Lyla is smiling and interacting a lot more. She has begun laughing, but its a lot of work to get a laugh from her and she has only laughed for me, Mike, and my parents. Lyla is also rolling from belly to back on the left side only- little girl hates tummy time so she found herself a quick escape route.
Where has the time gone?! Its flying past. I have LOVED the newborn stage. I was worried it would be hard, but Lyla has made it so enjoyable. She has been such a good sleeper since birth really. She never had her days and nights mixed up. For the first two weeks the doctor had me waking her up every 3 hours to feed her. Poor girl was always sooo tired when I woke her up! After two weeks when she put on enough weight and they weren't worried about jaundice anymore she started sleeping 5/6 hour stretches at 2 weeks and 8 hour stretches at 6 weeks. I think the fact that I have been able to get decent sleep has made the last two months so much easier and more enjoyable. She is a lot of work and being her mom is not always easy. But my heart is so so full. I love her. I love being her mom. Motherhood is truly a dream come true for me. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Lots of love,
