8 Weeks Old

Liliana is growing sooo fast. Every day Adam and I talk about the new changes that we are excited about, and the little things she used to do that we are already missing. She is not a newborn anymore! Here are some of the things that have been happening...

-Her smiles light up our lives. She is especially happy and smiley when she first wakes up in the morning. I LOVE laying in bed and playing with her in the morning. It is the best way to start the day. She also smiles a lot when people talk to her and when we get home from an outing. She loves being home and gives a big smile nearly every time we walk in the door. 

-Her baby sounds are getting cuter and cuter. She coos and gurlges when she is "talking" to us. 

-She is getting stronger and likes to try to "stand up" when you are holding her and pull up when you hold her hands. We started trying her in the Bumbo seat. She uses her little core muscles to try to stay upright but she doesn't last very long. 

-She is still a good sleeper...once she is asleep that is. We are struggling with the act of falling asleep at the moment. She falls asleep easily during nap time, but bed time is another story. She cries every night at bedtime. We are experimenting with some different techniques that have improved the situation, but it still hasn't been perfected. I'm afraid that much like her mother used to be, she does not like to go to bed and end the party! 

-Her reflux has been doing so much better. She still spits up, but it seems to bother her a lot less.

Her shirt says, "Sorry Boys, I Only Date Rock Stars"...not if her Daddy has anything to say about it!
