A Day in the Life of The Butler's: Lyla's 5 Months Old!

Weight: 18 pounds. You enjoy food. What can we say. :)

Height: 23 1/2 inches (I think?)

Food: You take a 6 1/2 ounce bottle 5 times a day. You have started fruits and veggies-- you eat a veggie at lunch and a fruit at dinner! You LOOOOOOVE apples. Sweet potatoes are a strong second. :) At night you eat oatmeal and fruit.

Sleep: Oh you poor baby girl... and your poor sleep deprived parents. Sleep has just not been you forte lately. You have been extremely sick for about 3 weeks now. Because of this, you've slept in your pack and play in our room, not your crib. Lots of nights you've ended up in bed with us. I know, I know- we never should've started that but, what cha' gonna do with a sad, sick little baby. :( Your Momma's weak in the heart. When you are not sick however, you sleep from around 7:30 to about 6 ish, with a quick little whine around 3 am.

New: You found your tounge. Ha! You stick it out all the time-- even when you cry sometimes. Silly girl. You also spend the majority of your time on your belly now. You flip yourself over as soon as I lay you down. You've started sleeping on your belly recently. You've also started pulling your legs up underneath you when you are on your belly... I'm worried your going to try to start crawling soon! You laugh a lot and make raspberries. And my favorite, when you smile at me, you lean in and grab my face and put your head against my head. AWW. SO CUTE!

Love: You love baths, to sleep cuddled up next to mommy, apples, your bouncy saucer, and our puppy Olivia when she's acting up. AND your pink owl. You chew on its ear. :)

Hate: You HATE napping. You just will not give us a long nap. Instead you take tons of short naps which makes for a cranky baby at night sometimes. We are hoping you will out grow this because we really don't want to have to sleep train you. :( You also hate coughing... its the only thing that makes you cry at night. You rub your little face when you are tired... and then scratch the holy jesus out of your forehead. It's terrible! :( You have such a grip!

We are looking forward to: Everything. In the beginning, you were fairly boring- now it seems like everyday you change. :) It's scary and excited. I wish time would slow down!

Here you are... Best part of the blog, in my opinion. :)
