It won't be like this for long

It's hard to believe she is already 2 months old.  It's like the song says, it won't be like this for long.  I swear I can't listen to that song without tearing up.  These days are precious.  Look how much she has grown.

2 month check up

Little Lyla Kate is officially 12 pounds and 23 inches long.  She is growing strong.  The doctors appointment went well except for the heartbreaking cry when she got her shots.  It truly hurt me when she cried like she did.  She didn't cry for very long, but when she did it was louder than I have ever heard her cry.  Dan was with me thank goodness to help console her.  She calmed down quickly, but I still felt like she was thinking why did you do this to me.  We found out that bathing her in Johnsons baby soap was actually causing her dry skin to be even worse. Who would have thought?  Now we have to use Dove and put Eurcerin lotion on twice a day.  She definitely got her Daddy's skin.  It is so interesting to hear the doctor talk about how all the baby stuff now days is just a way to make money. You would have thought that the baby lotion and soap would be the best for your little lovebug, but it turns out you can just use everyday normal stuff.  I'll post pictures of her growth soon.  Stay tuned!

Swimming!

Lyla went swimming today for the first time.  Look how cute she is in her itsy bitsy bikini :)  She loves the water!                                        

We also went to lunch with Kathryn and Jackson the other day.  Here is a pic of our sleepy heads.  They were perfect little angles the whole time.  It's so nice to have friends with babies :)

It's a bird, It's a plane, No...It's Lyla!



Church with Granddaddy

Today we went to church with Granddaddy.  Lyla was an absolute angel the entire time.  Granddaddy held her and kept her entertained the entire service.  Here are some of the pictures from today.

First Smile :)

Lyla smiled today!!!!  It was too precious :)  It was hard to capture the smile on camera, but here are a few pics.

6 hours

Lyla actually slept 6 hours straight the night before last.  It was amazing! I didn't know how to act getting sleep longer than 3 hours.  She went to sleep at 10 and then woke up at 4.  Normally there is a feeding in there around 1, so it was really a great night.  Last night was not as exciting.  She definitely woke up at 12:30.  Hopefully we will have more long nights to come.  Life at the Stephens house has been great!  Stop by anytime to see us :)
