Lyla turned three weeks old today! I look at her and already see so many changes in such a short time. The cutest rolls are beginning to form on her thighs and she's starting to stay awake for longer periods of time (most of which are at night, PARTY!) As always, time is such a thief and I am doing my best to live fully in each and every moment. She has completely captured our hearts!!
Believe it or not, because of her time spent in the NICU away from us (where this usually takes place during a hospital stay), we have yet to get our first family picture of the four of us. Crazy, I know! It is on my weekend wish list though but for now, here are a few billion pictures of Lyla during these early newborn days ...
This sweet little strawberry outfit was from my childhood. :)
There is something about seeing Nic with Lyla in his arms ... it absolutely melts my heart every time. I think these two will share a really special daddy/daughter bond.
The verdict is still out whether or not this girl likes to be swaddled. She struggles to fall asleep if I swaddle her but sleeps so much more peacefully and for longer periods of time when she is swaddled. Liam hated it and fought it from the very first night we brought him home so it went out the door pretty quickly. It is one of those things where you wish babies came with a standard manual. haha
Those sweet little pursed lips, I always wonder what she is dreaming about ...
Lyla has a full head of darker hair and she has yet to lose a strand. I feel like Liam was half bald (in the back) by the time he was three weeks old like her. I can already tell you right now, it is going to look darling in pig tails. ;) It also has a bit of curl at the ends that I wonder if she'll keep?!
I know my Liam wasn't in any of these pictures because most were taken during his nap time but I have a whole other post in the works with pictures of him and Lyla and all about him becoming a big brother so stay tuned for that! XO
