One Month Old

Wow, what a fast month!  We were fortunate enough to have Grandma Julie stay with us for three weeks to help take care of Lila (and Owen); thank you, thank you, thank you!!  We sure loved seeing both grandmas, grandpa (bacca), Aunt Megan and cousin Will, Uncle Mike and Aunt Renee, Uncle Matt, Aunt Mary Beth, Natalie and Ryan!  Now she just needs to meet her poppa, Uncle Teddy and Aunt Kelli (along with extended great aunts and uncles---we aren't forgetting you).

Lila has been a very easy going baby and still loves to grunt to communicate with us, but she is also slowly finding that crying gets attention rather quickly.  We had a rough couple nights sleep until I found out about a device called a Nap Nanny--it has been a life (sleep) saver!  I would have easily paid $1,000 for this contraption that has allowed me to sleep at four hour intervals (how insane does that sound; I'm excited over 4 hour stretches of sleep)!

Big Brother Owen is still really sweet on Lila.  He is back to his old charming, sweet self and always tells Lila that it's OK when she cries.  One time in the car after picking him up from day care she was having a fit.  Owen said, "It's OK baby Lila, see all the cars?"  He was trying to distract her!  He also loves showing her off to his friends at school.  He says over and over that it's his baby sister when they all crowd around to look.  He also loves to give her her pacifier and tries to offer her toys (although she isn't quite interested in them yet and quite frankly, doesn't seem to enjoy a hard, plastic rattle being thrown at her head).

Here are a few photos from the past few weeks...
