It's truly something new every day these days with Lilah! She absolutely LOVES her big sisters and laughs any time they laugh. She watches them very closely:) She has learned to jump in her johnny jump up. She has tried sweet potatoes (and liked them) and bananas (doesn't like so far).
We've had a regression in the sleep department. She has been in the cradle on top of her pack 'n play since birth and as she was reaching the weight limit, we took it off and let her sleep on the flat part of the pack 'n play. Not going so well. She (for the past week) has been in our bed by 3-4am for the past week. Yikes! I do not want her to be a co-sleeper. Not. At. All. Don't get me wrong...I love the snuggles. But #1: it's not fair to the big girls for Lilah to get to sleep in our bed and #2 I have visions of a two year old Lilah still refusing to sleep through the night in her own bed. We'll keep working on this!
She belongs to all four of us. My "little mommas" help me so much and they are just crazy about her. This past week on our way home from the dentist. Sam said, "Mom do you know why I'm crying?" I hadn't know she was crying but I turn around and see that she is. "Why?" I asked. And she told me, "Because Lilah is so cute and I don't want her to grow up. It makes me sad to think about her getting big" I'm not sure why she feels that sadness at seven but I can relate. I had to remind her of all the fun things Lilah would miss out on if she stayed small forever. I reminded big girl (and myself) that watching babies grow and change is fun not sad.
She (lilah) is very lucky to have such sweet sisters!

So sweet. She is a lucky girl indeed. I too get sad to see Peyton growing so fast. Taking tons of pictures so maybe I won't forget all the adorable things he does. :)
Oh come on, you could have just said you didn't want her to end up like her cousin Ella who wants her mommy to sleep with her every night! Ha! Put that baby in her crib, she'll love it:) I remember when Ella use to wake us up in the morning playing in her crib. We'd peek in and watch her, and it was so sweet. She was so content in there-Sure wish she'd go back to those days of being content in the bed all alone...
That is my all time favorite picture of Lilah-sooo cute!!!
