More attempts at a holiday shot! On Oct 12th, Lily weighed 13lbs 11oz. We changed her schedule, she is now eating about every 4 hours during the day. Her naps still are not regular or very long... but she is sleeping thru the night! She is doing great at night time. She goes down between 6:30-7:30pm and sleeps until 5:30-7ish. We are over the moon about that!! Keep your fingers crossed that it continues!

More attempts at a holiday pic! Thanks to one of my mommy group friends for letting Lily borrow an outfit!
We went to what I thought was a pumpkin patch. It turned out to be a dud. So here is our attempt at some festive pics! Lily's first pumpkin pics!



Lily playing on the floor. Mr. Bojangles keeping a watchful eye on her!








After the Steelers game, Lily had a ball playing with her gym and tummy time. She loves the music and to make the toys move.
Lily has made some great friends! We see each other on Tuesdays at a mom's group at the hospital. We also try to get together for a play date during the week. It is funny, the other mom's asked if Ryan was dark skin. Compaired to the other babies, Lily is a few shades tanner. It must be all the walks we go on. She must have gotten Ryan's ability to tan. That's a good thing!
These pics were taken on 10/1/10. On 10/12/10, Lily weighed 13.11.








So I totally jinxed myself. I thought that I had her schedule all figured out, and she was sleeping well at night.. and bam! She is waking up more than ever... I talked to our pediatrician and she is not in favor of our strict schedule, so we are taking a break. I am going to let her make her own schedule for a few days and see what happens. She is going to sleep during the day when she wants and eat when she wants. The dr thinks that eating every 3 hrs might be too often for her, and that might be the reason why she spits up so much. We are going to try the 4+ hr. feeding instead. And if she wants to sleep for 4-5 hrs during the day, I am going to let her. Wish me luck. Maybe I will be lucky and Lily will make her own schedule and just let me know. We will see how she sleeps the next few nights. So far she is napping more today than she usually does, so that is a good sign.
