She is a very happy, bubbly baby who giggles a lot and lights up whenever she gets some eye contact. I'm sometimes in awe of the gift she is from God. People usually comment that she is "sweet and mellow". Lilah still has her feisty side but she tends to save that for her mama alone. She giggles whenever we play "peek-a-boo" or give her tickles. Her favourite songs are "Open, Shut Them" and "Ga-loomp went the Little Green Frog". We weighed her in her clothes with her nappy on a week ago and she was in about the 75th percentile (compared to bare weight babies).
Some of Lilah's mile stones - - She started sitting up on her own this month.
- She says "Dadda" a lot and has recently started saying "Bubba". She just gives me a cheeky grin whenever I try to get her to say "Mama".
- She dropped the third nap and is mostly on 5 feeds a day. The fourth feed usually includes a bottle
- She is really into solid food now. She's pretty good with veggies but loves fruit. I persist in giving her egg yolk for brekky since it's so good for her, but it's not her fav. I have to hide avocado in her fruit because (unlike Eliana), she does not like it.
- I have to be careful what I put in Lilah's reach, especially when I'm holding her, because she grabs at everything.
- She loves watching her big sister. All Eliana has to do is jump and Lilah will crack up.
- A bottom tooth just broke through last week! I'm now on the hunt to get lots of gummy smiles before those days are over!
