two months old

Dear Lilah,

You are two months old today!  You have had a very exciting second month.  You got to meet your MorMor and MorFar...

your Aunt Carrie (and Uncle Mark, but photos of him are hard to come by)...

and your cousins Nathaniel and Sebastian...

 

You got to wear cute outfits...

experience your first major snowstorm...

and go to Stout Month at the Vine Street Pub for the first time.

You also warmed up to your bouncy seat.  You'll actually stay in there happily for more than a couple of minutes now!  I think it was the hippo that won you over.  You would just stare at him and smile.  And now you'll even bat at him.

Speaking of smiles, that's my favorite new thing that you picked up this month.  It can be hard to catch them on camera, but you are a pretty smiley little girl.  It warms my heart and brightens my days. 

I feel like we figured out a lot this month (not that I have you all figured out, but it has gotten better).  You sleep pretty well at night.  You'll wake up to eat, but you usually get right back to sleep after.  And some nights, you only wake up once in the middle of the night and not again until 6 or 7am.  Naps are more of a struggle, but we're working on them. 

Here are a few more pictures, just because you're so cute...

You are such a joy, Lilah Jane.  I am so thankful to be your mama.

Love and snuggles,

Mama
