5 months!



Lila is 5 months old today! She is so much fun these days. She is starting to get longer than she is round and looks different every day. She is getting a bald spot from sleeping and playing on her back. We are ready for her to roll over any time.

She loves bath time, mornings, her exersaucer, "talking", Cooper, singing, other kiddos, reading books, her toes, and being outside.

She
hates her car seat, rice cereal, nap time and staying in her stroller while shopping :)

She has a love/hate relationship with her soothie pacifier, being swaddled and tummy time. She knows the paci will help her fall asleep so she tries not to need it...but, she does. She stays asleep so much longer when she is swaddled and until she can roll over, we will do it. She can roll from tummy to back but sometimes forgets how. That's why tummy time is not always a hit. I don't know why I feel the need to explain all of these?

Lila is really happy until she isn't. 99% of the time she is the sweetest, cuddliest baby in the world. We are so thankful that we get to be her parents and really appreciate all your prayers that we will continue to do a good job!

Too too precious. I was going to e-mail you and ask you all about how in the heck to get them to sleep without being swaddled. I know I have two older kids, but man I feel like I am so new at this! Payton sleeps like a champ while swaddled, but she HATES her tummy and thus her neck muscles are not too strong. She is about to be three months old and still cannot keep her head sturdy. I just don't remember that with my other two! Anyway - I am so glad to hear that you are going to keep swaddling until she can roll over...maybe that needs to be my plan as well! Thanks for the advice! :-)
