Lyla is one month old! She celebrated by watching her brother enjoy a "snow day" home from school and trying to stay warm (the high for the day was 0 degrees. Brr!)
Daniel got me a fantastic Christmas present. I've been asking for a nicer camera for years. Literally, years. He definitely delivered! (It unfortunately arrived after our big trip...) Hopefully you will enjoy the better quality pictures like I already am (this also means there will likely be more pictures to post...and posts less often since I now have to upload and convert photos...we'll see how I do!) I have a lot to learn to optimize its use, but I'll get there!!

| Noah likes to ask to hold Lyla. He then asks to show a picture to Grandma. Not really sure where that came from! :) |
 |
| Cole came over to play during a snow day this week. He loved driving Lightening, too! |
 |
| Chocolate face. While watching a car across the street that was stuck in the snow. |

| Snuggled up on Daddy's shoulder. |

| Making snow ice cream with Cole. The boys both thought it was delicious! |

| I love this one! |

| Noah got Cars stickers to put on his bedroom wall from Grandma Sampson for Christmas. This picture captures his excitement. He put them on the wall on his own, all clustered together, even though I tried to encourage placement in other places, too. He couldn't wait for Daniel to get home to show him! |
Lyla's one month check up went well. She cried harder than Noah did when she got her shot and then fell asleep for a (fitful) nap. Her jaundice is gone and she weighed in at 10 pounds, 3.6 ounces and 22 inches long. Not as heave as Noah was at one month, but longer. We will see if that trend continues. She is a VERY frequent spitter-upper, but it doesn't seem to bother her. The pediatrician recommended some feeding changes (mostly schedule) to see if it would help. We are thinking about starting some sleep training to help this girl fall asleep. Once we can get her to sleep she continues to do nice 4-6 hour stretches at night, but she is difficult to get to sleep in the first place. The plan was to start that tonight, but of course she is currently sound asleep in her bed. (Thankfully!) I guess I will head there soon, too!
Noah is still very fond of his sister. When she cries, he says, "Mommy, get her!" He always wants to turn on her swing or the music on her play mat. If she spits up, he is quick to alert us or run to get a burp rag. He still thoroughly enjoys cars, trains, and tractors. He can "read" The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which is highly entertaining. When he complies with the things we ask him to do, or if he knows he is helping us in some way, he often says, "I make Mommy sooooo happy!" which makes me smile every time. Yes Buddy, you make Mommy sooooo happy. :)
