Lia is a sweety. I think she is probably a relatively easy baby, but she does have her moments. Babies can really scream. And when they start up, they often don´t want to calm down. Luckily, the screaming does not even happen every day, just occasionally and afterward she passes out for hours. I still don´t understand the evolutionary purpose of the screaming - I mean, she has all of her needs taken care of and really, there is no point in screaming. But, she seems to get really pissed off at the world sometimes and ready to let go.
We have been making a lot of progress. I no longer am terrified to be alone in public with Lia (this resulted from the hard core screaming that happened the first time I took her for a walk alone). Nothing like a screaming baby to make you feel like the most negligent person ever. Here we are getting ready for an outing.
Since then we have mastered the stroller and the Moby wrap. Lia and I are becoming pros at leaving the house.
Every day, Lia is more alert and interactive. She coos and has conversations with us, and is more and more aware of the world around her.
Here she is checking out the patterns in her bassinet. (Thanks for the baby stimulating blanket Grandma!) Yes, babies like bright colors with sharp contrast - as they can actually see them.
Our neighbor knit Lia the cutest outfit. She very nicely slept through the fitting session.
She may have a future as a clothing model.
I will leave you with the cutest thing ever...a baby butt!!
