Lyla~5 months old

You didn't want to look at me..just interested in the pretty shoes:)

Big smiles for brother pretending to get your feet haha.

5 months old baby girl! It's starting to sink in that it won't be long before your mobile! Going to have to really soak in having one child left that stays where I put you!

Last month was a fun one:) You had your first taste of solid food and we had several opportunities to enjoy some much needed time outdoors!

•Eating: Feb 17th I gave you 2-3 baby bites of fresh avocado I mashed for gaucomoly. You of course made a funny face, but I think you liked it a lot:)

A couple weeks after that starting at the beginning of March I started trying to give  you baby oatmeal or something before bed most nights. 

You still nurse every 2-3 hours all day..and ALL night:/

• You looove to talk. You have the sweetest little voice. Always cooing and 'sighing' haha. Now you have started really screaming or hollering just for the fun of it. I think your trying to keep up with two noisy brothers!

•Not a fan of bottles! You've only had about 5 since birth and you hardly drink from them...you just will hold out till mom is back!

•Still NOT a fan of tummy time either!

•Therefore (not too surprisingly) you have not rolled over again since the middle of February. You really seem to have no interest in trying lol. Luckily, mom is just fine with that for now:) I have figured out once you really start then you don't stop! 

• You mostly love to sit up! You still can't do it completely on your own, but you get more stable everyday. I can now sit you up with your boppy pillow around you(incase you fall). You love having a better view of what's going on!

•Hair has fallen out some and growing back in lighter! Eye color is changing..still bluish..but turning green/hazel like your daddy's I think.

•You are chewing on everything! May just be the start of teething, but everything goes in your mouth.

•I would say your favorite thing is watching your brothers. Mommy can practically stand on her head and sometimes you won't even crack a smile...but as soon as one of your brothers even looks your way you grin!

More pics from the past month:

Eskimo kisses with momma!

Smiles in the car!

Your happy face at 6am the other morning. Mommy was not nearly as cheery!

Your daddy loves you more than you'll ever know!

You with your papa!

And Meems!!!

Mommy/daughter fun!

You are so loved!

Lyla~ 4 months old.

Feb 12th! Four months old today. I also realized that 7 years ago today while hiking in the mountains your daddy proposed to me:)

You have spent the last week of your third month very sick:( However, today you seem to be improving finally! RSV was a nasty bug for my three littles to catch...but praise God your doing better and the boys seems back to their normal selves today!

Tid bits about you from the past month:

•Really starting to grab toys and be more interested in 'play'.

•You can see across a small room now and always smile when we walk in!

•Always trying to sit up!...As in trying to pull yourself forward anytime your just chillin!

•Giving us some good laughs! You are ticklish!

•You are still a big talker. Love to babble!

•Very interested in watching your big brothers now.

•Despite being very sick with RSV and coughing/hacking up a lung practically for a week you have remained surprisingly happy. Still smiling and being sweet!

•You slept with mom or dad in the recliner several nights this past week while sick incase you had a choking fit from coughing! Secretly your daddy and I enjoyed those extra snuggles:)

•You have not gained a lot of weight recently due to being sick, but weighed 12.9 lbs at urgent care the other night and you were 22.5 inches long.

•Last night on Feb 11th you rolled over from your back to your stomach!

•Right after you turned 3 months your sleeping went downhill! All last month you woke up every 2 hrs at night..occasionally every 1 hr..and very rarely making it 3 hours. Needless to say you've made mommy tired! 

•You naps did grow longer though!(Too bad mom chases two little boys while you nap)...they are typically closer to an hour long now. You've napped for 2 hours a couple random times!

• Still brown hair and blue eyes!

Morning sweetie! Always big smiles upon waking up!

One of your big bubba a trying to play with you!

You went to a party with mom/dad few weeks ago and had your first dance;)

The three of us being silly in the photo booth! You covered your face to hide your embarrassment haha.

Your daddy loves you soo much! Two cuties in this pic!

Always smiling at big brother! Can you tell he adores you??!

Just being cute!

The face you give your brothers!! Love it!

Hanging out with mommy cheering on daddy's team...we won't mention who won the game:/

Sleeping beauty a usual!

Another snowy day in the house! Sadly this was last pic before you started getting really sick with RSV:((

Tummy time!

Cutest cousins hanging out! Lyla and Amelia.
