Four Weeks Old!

I know I’m a day early but Lyla is napping and I thought I should take advantage of the opportunity! Lyla is changing so much already even though she’s still so little. She’s getting better at holding up her head, even if it’s brief. She’s been much more alert this week and awake for much longer periods (usually happy!). We’re getting into a routine it seems. She goes to bed about 11ish and sleeps until about 3ish, eats, then sleeps from about 4-8. Then we hang out in bed together for a bit (and often go back to sleep for an hour or two (or three!). Then we get dressed and play and then she’s ready for a late morning nap. In the afternoons we usually go for a walk or run errands. She still likes to cluster feed in the evenings but is starting to grow out of that a bit. Bath time is fun as long as her tummy is full. Then we watch a little TV and it’s time for bed and the day is over! It’s been getting warm and she’s starting to grow into her summer 3 month clothes (although they all seem really wide on her even if they fit in length—maybe they’re designed for fat babies?!) She’s almost grown out of the newborn diapers too but the size 1 still seems a bit big. She’s mastered her burping skills (no cute little baby burps for her—only loud manly belches! Her daddy is so proud as you can imagine!) Our latest challenge is that she seems to always keep her head turned to the right and we don’t want our little munchkin developing torticollis or plagiocephaly! (ie- a tilted neck and flat head!) I’m working on it but she doesn’t seem to be listening! Here’s this week’s photos—she looks so grown up!
