12 Weeks

Lila's getting to be pretty squirmy in her bed. When I went into get her this morning, she had gotten out of her blanket, turned herself around 180 degrees and had her legs sticking out of the crib.

10 Weeks

She's started to really like holding her bottle while she eats.

She also really likes her mobile with the jungle sounds. She'll just stare up at it, smile, giggle and kick her legs like crazy.

What a big girl.Whg

7 Weeks Old!

It's hard to believe that it's already been 7 weeks since Lila was born. We just went to the doctor on Wednesday and she's at 9 lbs. 5 oz. Since I'm home with her everyday, I don't really notice how much she's changed until I look back at the pictures from when we first brought her home.
Although it seems like she was able to lift her head up since about her first week, it's taken her a little while longer to start using her arms. Now Lila's getting much better at pushing herself up and moving her head to both sides when she's on her tummy.


She's also smiling a lot more now and gurgling when we play.

Road Trip

Last weekend we took our first road trip with Lila. She did really well on the drive. We only had to stop once on the way to Spearfish and she made it all the way back to Billings with out having to stop.

This trip Lila was able to meet her great grandparents, her aunt Erin, uncle Jami and her cousin Jackson. Jackson really liked having the "baby" around and always wanted to help or play with her. It will really be fun to see them together when she gets a little older.



Family photo time:

Girl's best friend...eventually.

Jake has been adjusting really well to having Lila around, and even took a nap with her today...
...until she did one of her sudden arm flails that sent him jumping up and away like she was going to attack him at any moment.

Lila's first fishing trip...

We ran out to an island on the river today with Brad, Janet and their dogs. We thought we'd take advantage of the nice weather to do a little fishing and let the dogs play. It was Lila's first road trip, only about a 40 minute drive but it was a good warm up for our trip to Spearfish in a couple weeks. She slept the whole way there but we pushed our luck on the way back when we got stuck in traffic.

On the island, Lila and I walked around and watched the boys not catch fish.Eric wasn't too disappointed since the poor fishing was a good excuse to get in a little retrieving practice for Jake.
