Lillian is 2 weeks old! Lillian got to meet some special people this week. Nanny & Pa and Uncle Noah & Whitney came in to meet her for the first time. Grammie & Grandpa also came down. Of course, Landon was thrilled to see them, too! He was getting a little bored with just Mom & Dad the week previous.
Lilli is growing so quickly! She still has much of her newborn look. At her 2 week dr. appt. she was back at her birthweight, 8 lbs. 3 ozs., and has grown 3/4". Since she is back at her birthweight, I have been letting her wake me up when she is hungry (rather than waking her every 3 hours). She still wakes on her own every three hours, sometimes stretching out to four hours - I appreciate that extra hour! Her personality is calming down a bit, too. Her cry isn't quite as agressive as it was when she was first born. She likes to be swaddled tightly, rocked/swayed, and sleeps on her side. Thank goodness for Dr. Karps "Happiest Baby on the Block" - a must read for all parents with a newborn. She also likes to be outside - the summer weather instantly calms her down.
Dave went back to work this week, so Grammie stayed the week to help me out with the kiddos. Landon has had so much fun with Grammie! I really appreciated her help with Landon, the laundry, cooking and cleaning, and running errands. THANKS-A-MILLION MOM!!!
