Last Wednesday Matt and I were in Lyla's room just before it was time for her to go to bed and we were playing and she giggled for the first time. It was a full belly laugh and it just kept going. It was the best sound in the world. However, much to our dismay, that is the ONLY time she has laughed for us. She hasn't even shown signs of wanting to since then. This isn't because we haven't been trying. Let me tell you, Matt and I have cracked ourselves up trying to get this girl to laugh but she is an iron gate. I don't give up easily though- we just have to figure out what she finds funny.
She has discovered that she has toes and she is now trying to pull them to her mouth to eat them. She is almost there- maybe another day or so and she will have a new toy to chew on. Hilarious to watch her struggling to pull her feet to her mouth- she makes little grunting noises the whole time.
Lyla is making a million new noises. Music to our ears. She has two teeth on the bottom. She goes to bed at 7:30pm- we are still swaddling her and it works perfect. She sleeps through the night with no problems and wakes up at about 6:00am every morning. She is on a pretty repetitive schedule these days. She takes a morning and afternoon nap and will usually lay down after just a few snuggles and then fall asleep. Lyla LOVES to be on the move. She doesn't like to sit at all. She would rather walk and look around- she loves to just watch. She is pretty observant to movement and sounds. Her little head never seems to stop moving to see what is happening.
We are going to be starting her on solid foods pretty soon. We will try the rice cereal first. We have decided to make all of our baby food. Because the farmers' market is starting next weekend it just makes sense to make our food- we will have a weekly supply of organic food. I am also really excited to see what options there are. We have gotten a few books with recipes to try so that will begin soon.
