One Month

Today Lyla is one month old!

At one month Lyla:

-Loves to sleep. I realize that this could all change, but for now Lyla likes to sleep. She sleeps a lot during the day (Olivia calls her a sleepyhead) and she has done 7 hour stretches at night. :)

-Loves to eat. At her last doctor's appointment, the doctor told us that Lyla has gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, pushing her into the 97% for weight and size 3-6 months clothes.

-Loves baths. She has liked to take a bath from her very first sponge bath.

-Lyla is VERY calm. Matt was concerned that she never cries and wanted me to talk to the doctor about it. Lyla didn't even mind getting a shot while she was in the hospital.

-Lyla smiles. Yesterday she gave me her first real smile. I like to think that she was smiling because she was enjoying my singing of "Pop goes the weasel" while bouncing her on my knee; however, it may have been the lamp (she absolutely loves) which was directly behind me that prompted the smile.

-Lyla is very noisy. She is the loudest grunter, and has mastered many unusual animal noises.

Lyla Elizabeth

I can't believe have fast time flies, Lyla is already 3 weeks old. Lyla is not awake very much during the day, so it is kind of hard to get pictures of her, but recently I've tried to keep my camera handy whenever she's awake.

Visitors

We have been lucky enough to have some visitors since Lyla was born. Grandma Mary, Grandfather and Grandmother have been nice enough to make the trek out to New York. Grandmother has already been the most frequent visitor, but somehow I have not gotten a photo of her and Lyla, luckily I'm have another opportunity when she is here in 2 weeks.

New Arrival

Lyla Elizabeth Lambert was born November 22. She was born at 6:06 AM and weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces. Olivia was so excited when she came to the hospital to see her sister. We are all thrilled to have Lyla as apart of our family.
