Lovely Lilah growing too fast!

Today Lilah is 2 months old!  It has been so much fun getting to know her these past 2 months and we can't wait to see what the next will bring! 

Things we love about Lilah...
  • That little smile is just so contagious!  We love to just sit and watch her and try to get her to smile.  It's not very hard because she is such a happy baby!  She rarely cries and when she does it's so soft and little just to let us know she's hungry or dirty or tired.  She's usually just content to look around and smile at the wall or ceiling or whatever she's looking at :)


































  • She loves to be held and we love holding her!  I'm typing this with one hand while she chills in my arm.  I can't get enough of her, so I'm glad she likes being close.  I wear her in the wrap when we go places and get lots of comments about how cute her little head is :)

  • She also loves to sleep with us and I love that time to cuddle with her!  She's so soft and warm and she smells so good.  She usually falls asleep about 9 or 10 and James will put her in her bassinette in our room.  Then she'll wake up about 2 to get in bed with us and then about 6 or 7 to eat.  She's a good sleeper!
  • She also loves practicing standing up.  She will smile so big if we hold her little hands so she can stand on her legs.  She's so strong to hold herself up on those tiny legs!  The doctor also commented that she holds her head up well for her age.  That's our girl :)


  • She absolutely loves bath time!  She gets so peaceful and content when I put her in the water and she's even fallen asleep in there a few times.  She holds onto the towel and she looks so cute!

  • And dressing her up, of course!  It's so much fun to have a little girl!!! 




We love everything about that girl!  She is still pretty petite and little, but long... 9 pounds, 12 ounces and 23 inches at her 2-month check-up.  She has pretty blue eyes for now and a tiny stork bite on her forehead between her eyes.  Her bellybutton is so cute and little, but she still has pretty long feet.  And all that hair!!!  It's lightened up a bit, so who knows what color it will end up, but she hasn't lost much and it curls a little bit on top.  She gets so many comments about it!  She makes so many different expressions and we just think she's about the cutest little thing we've ever seen! 


  • She's also started cooing and making little happy noises and we love it!  Here's a little peek at our happy, sweet little girl!

  1. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Little lanky long Lilah, and the loving you all show her, are things of beauty, indeed! Thank you for sharing her with us this way (and others)!
