We're finally starting to get more sleep these days. Lilah is still going to bed really late, but she's sleeping well at night now, and I feel as though I'm getting on top of things and into more of a routine.
Lilah had her first set of immunisations a couple of weeks ago, and she coped really well - I didn't cope quite so well, and almost fainted a couple of times. Evidently I had let myself get too de-hydrated when we went hiking that morning, and then combined with the anxiety over the upcoming immunisations and what is now quite low blood pressure - well, it was a recipe for blackouts. Lilah only cried a little bit, and was a bit fussy that evening, but otherwise she did really well.
Eric has been really busy with work over the past couple of months, and has been working a lot of nights and weekends which has been challenging for a new mum!
We have gotten to see quite a bit of my parents, which has been nice, they love spending time with Lilah. She is smitten with Grandma and couldn't take her eyes off her when she came to stay for a few days. One time she was gazing at Grandma daydreaming while I was holding her, and when I started to speak she got such a fright that she was inconsolable! It was pretty funny, apart from her sad little face...
These are some photos that I took of Lilah at about 8 weeks old, and then photoshopped the background.
This is Lilah at 11 weeks sitting on the little couch that I bought her to assist her in learning to sit.
She's sitting up on it without any help at all, and having a great time!
What a grin!
This week Lilah has really started talking a lot. This video shows a little bit of talking while I am reading the Velveteen Rabbit to her, but she has been talking almost constantly the past couple of days in the most adorable little voice.
