Lyla is 3 months!!

I can hardly believe that I am typing out our third baby, and that she is three months old already! Where does the time go?? God is good. Our little Lyla, really is the Sweet Lyla May that she gets called. Her smile is so sweet and beautiful and she shares it easily with everybody! Right from the get go, Lyla has loved to get her clothes off and have a bath. She has yet to make a peep in the bath outside of coos of contentment and little giggles! Even just changing her clothing or diaper is a treat beacause she loves it! (a pleasant chage from her big sister! haha) When Lyla was first born, we really thought she had a look of her own, but as time has gone by, she is looking more and more like her big brother! Most people now take one look at her and say she looks just like her daddy, (or auntie Cheri) but the odd person sees my resemblance in a smile or expression that she shows. Lyla is meeting every milstone with ease, and has perfected the art of rolling over, smiling, giggling, reaching for toys, and holding onto small toys. She is pretty content, especially when her siblings choose to lay beside her and read her books or sing her songs, but she does love to be held too - which is good because by the time the kids and I have had our fill of holding her thru the day, Daddy is anxiously waiting for his turn when he gets home from work! Lyla has been our best sleeper so far (consistantly only waking up once or twice in the night) but recently seems to be follow her siblings footsteps! Hopefully this will just be marked as a rough week of sleep and things will get better again soon! Our "routine" seems to change weekly as Lyla's nap patterns change, we try to have "everybody play together time" first thing in the morning, so that when she has her first nap Dexter and Lexi are more content to play with each other and without me so I can try to get a few things done! Lyla has been and so far continues to be our best napper! she will consistantly nap 1.5 to 2 hrs at a time, and if she has had a bad morning nap she tends to make up for it with her second nap being a bit longer! This has been my lifesaver this time around as our first two were definate cat-nappers! Well this is kind of a nutshell of where Lyla is at now! I'm sure I have forgot a bunch, but will finish with a few pictures:)

p.s. i forgot to mention the drooling! if you spent any time with our first two babes, you will remember the unreal amount of drool, and Lyla is definetly following suit in that department! Each of our kids have also been "spitter-uppers" and my memory may not be totally right, but Lyla may be even worse then Dexter was!

roll started.......

and accomplished!

rolling into the party!
