When we went to our one month check up, the doctor reminded us that at about 12 pounds babies start to sleep for longer stretches at night. When I weighed Lily a few days ago she was knocking on 12 pound's door which explains why, for the last week or so, Lily has slept for a solid 5-6 hours at night. Last night she surprised us with an 8 hour stretch. I was happy for the extra sleep, but I am not expecting a repeat any time soon. I hope to be proven wrong.
Along with the extra sleep, Lily has started to hold her head up more consistently and has given us a few smiles here and there. She is definitely starting to seem more like a person and less like a screaming alien with a noodle for a neck.
One of the best tummy times thus far. Please forgive the horrible hair.
Smiling at Mommy. This one was clearly intentional and not gas-related.
Kate has also seemed more interested in Lily lately. She has been asking us to put Lily on her lap and loves to give her hugs and kisses. Lily doesn't seem overly interested in Kate yet, but she doesn't seem overly interested in anything other than eating at this point.
Kate really seemed excited to share some space with her sister...
and Lily looks pretty amused as well.
and Lily looks pretty amused as well.
We are looking forward to the next few weeks as Lily really starts to wake up and becomes more and more like a real person. It seemed like Kate really started to get some personality around 3 months so we are half way there, but the smiles are already paying off.
We can already see some fun similarities between the girls. Apparently Daddy's lips are very dominant as is his curly hair. Lily's hair looks like it might be curly as well.
"Ok, Daddy, enough with the camera already!"
