our lovely little Lilah was born!
5 months later, she:
- weighs about 15 pounds and is 25 inches long (chubba, chubba, we love her chunk)
- wears 3-6 month clothes (oh, and it's fun to dress her up!)
- still wakes up at least twice a night (more time to snuggle, I don't really mind)
- is getting used to her crib (snuggling in our bed is much more fun, for both of us)
- loves to put anything/everything in her mouth (especially fingers, her own or another's)
- has 2 little teeth on the bottom (sharp on fingers!)
- loves food as much as her daddy (she just sucked on a pickle for 5 minutes)
*side note-I was going to wait until 6 months to give her solids because of articles I've read. However, Lilah apparently hasn't read those articles and she decided she wants food now. She will grab it out of our hands. So we've let her try sweet potatoes, broccoli, bananas, and yes, a pickle. She is her daddy's girl!
- loves her brother (making her smile is his favorite game!)
- loves, loves, loves to be held and snuggled (who wants to wash dishes anyway?)
- loves to be sung and read to (the Leapfrog book is her favorite toy)
- makes the cutest noises in the world (we have to work for her laugh, but it's so worth it!)
- is thrilled that she has toes (her other favorite toy)
- can roll over from tummy to back (but she prefers sitting up or being held)
- still has lots of hair and beautiful eyelashes (it's reddish-brownish, for now)
- has pretty dark eyes (blue or brown, we can't decide)
- Oh, and she loves her tongue
(We love our little Lilah!!!)
Oh, I miss her so much! You know, we have pickles (and fingers and toes) at our house! Come visit!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! You put that she weighs 15 oz and I know what you meant(15 lb) but it somehow made her cuter! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these updates! What a little doll you have...shall we arrange a marriage or what?? ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Eve. The image did make me laugh! And yes, Shara, cute baby N is definitely studly enough for my little girl!
ReplyDeleteOh My.....Our favorite is Ethie and Lilah cuddled up and looking into one another's eyes. LOVE Lilah's flowered leggings. While we don't have pickles in our cabinets, like Marianne, we have plenty of finger and toes and pickles are just a few minutes down the road. We'll make sure and have some on hand for your next visit.
ReplyDeleteSo super cute! And you just follow her lead as far as food, she looks like she has her own plan about what she is going to eat! So fun! Very cute little girl...of course what did we expect?
ReplyDeleteThe one of the two of them snuggled in bed is PRECIOUS!!! And I just love her name!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the one with her toes in her mouth! She must have gotten tired of her fingers.
ReplyDeleteHa! Bri use to suck her toes like that! So sweet she is! She and Ethie sure look like great friends already!
