Here are some more pictures of Lola! She is growing quickly every day.
In the past couple of weeks, she smiled while dreaming, then this week she started to smiled with her eyes wide open. You can tell she is getting a better sense of her hands and arms, and she is making a lot of eye contact now when she's not cranky/hungry/tired.
It's really true that babies come out with a lot of their personalities and preferences already developed.
She likes music, my voice, her dad's neck/shoulder, being around people, and loooooves bath time (though not so much the getting in and out of her clothes, or the getting out of the water part). Here is a picture of her enjoying her first bath at home. She always seems to be in bliss when she is in the water.
This is from a more recent bath time - the very picture of contentment!
When my dad was here, he took a particularly colorful set of punchy pictures that I love. It captures Lola's spunky and energetic personality very well!
I forgot to post these pictures in my Christmas post. Here is one particularly poignant moment between my mom and her granddaughter - sizing each other up and gazing into each other's eyes!
Here are some pictures from when Lola was smaller - she's much bigger now. She measured nearly 9 pounds at her last checkup, meaning she has gained over 2 pounds since birth. Now she barely fits in this swaddle and has already outgrown all of her newborn outfits.
Lola likes tummy time and does a very good job (for the most part) of hoisting herself up on her arms and legs. She is really strong! Soon we will break out the Skiphop playmat for her to entertain herself.
She had her first non-doctor-related excursion outdoors in the New Year. Here she is outside our building.
We've also recently gotten her into the baby bjorn bouncer, which she loves. She has acid reflux (poor thing) and we have found that this helps calm her, or at least makes her feel better. Here she is with her favorite toy, a little lamb we have named "Simone," who rattles and crinkles.
Lola says hello!
