Happy 3 months Lila!

From this...

To this...

in 3 short months :)

Lila is 3 months old! I can't believe it, really. But I can believe why people get addicted to babies. She is so sweet & cuddly and we all can't get enough.

Here are a few things Lila is up to these days...

• Lila probably weighs between 13-14 lbs and is most likely 23 inches long. I haven't gotten out the scale or the ruler.


• Lila is wearing 3 month and some 3-6 month clothes. In all honesty, the 3-6 month are a little big, but if it is one thing I can't stand, it is for babies & little kids clothes to be tight.


• Lila found her hands this month and the way she clasps them in front of her is so.darn.cute.


• She still has lots of nicknames: LiLi Bell, Lila Lulu Bell, and Sister Lou are sticking.


• Dare I jinx myself and say she is sleeping really well. Whatever we did to make it happen, I'm glad we did it. Although I'm pretty sure we didn't do anything :) Let's hope a 3 month growth spurt doesn't mess up her routine.


• Lila gave up her night swaddle this month. Well, we gave it up for her. She is now in a sleep sack and doing fabulous!


• Lila loves to "talk" and can get her voice going pretty loud at times. I love that she tries to "tell" you what's wrong before she has to cry about it.


• She smiles the biggest at Nate and tries to follow his voice whenever he is in the room. It is getting harder to feed her when he is around because she just wants to pay attention to him.


• Lila is still eating 6 oz bottles and has switched to medium flow. Nate never got off slow flow the.entire.first.year. My oh my how kids can be so different.


• Lila is trying to roll over from front to back, but hasn't quite gotten there yet.

We love love love our little girl so much! She has made the transition to a family of 4 easy in most ways. Nate still loves to see her in the morning and if he gets up before her, he begs us to get her up. I know everyone says this, but I believe I have the best kids! We are so thankful for Lila & Nate and how they enrich* our lives!

*I'll be thinking "enrich" when they are both whining/screaming while I'm making dinner tonight.
