Life Can Be Hectic

I went on a scrapbooking weekend recently, and so I spent a good amount of time preparing for that weekend, being away, and then recovering from the trip.  :-)  That being said, it's been a while since I've blogged.  For those of you out there who would like an update on what has transpired since Lia's 4 month birthday, here's the scoop:

1/21 - 13lbs, 3oz.  Lia was diagnosed with Bronchiolitis!  Got some asthma meds for her wheezing, but other than some yucky cold symptoms, she was fine.
1/25 - Lia is finally feeling better and can return to her normal daycare.
1/27 - Getting better at holding on to toys and such!
1/28 - 12lbs, 14oz. 4 month checkup/immunizations. The doctor has two bits of good news: Lia is ready to start solids (if we want), and she doesn't need to eat at night anymore.  Matt tried feeding Lia some formula laced with baby oatmeal, but she just spit it out.  We'll try again sometime soon...
1/29 - Lia possibly feeling sick from her shots?  Her first time using baby Tylenol, and it seemed to work like magic.
1/30 - Almost rolled over unaided!  (I admit it, I helped a bit...  She's gotta get a feel for it somehow, right?)


1/31 - Snowsuit!


2/1 - Fun times with Dad:




2/3 - I left for my scrapping weekend right after work, and Matt attempted to start training Lia to not need parental assistance during the night.  She ends up waking up once, but only needs some verbal comforting from Dad.  Here are some pics from the morning before I left for work:




2/4 - Another night with no middle-of-the-night feeding, but a little comforting from Dad.  (Mom still away at scrap weekend.)
2/5 - Lia made it all the way through the night on her own!
2/8 - Still sleeping through the night.  We're talking approximately 8pm until 7am.  Woohoo!  (We have it so easy...)  Here she is turned sideways in her crib after a night of taking care of herself:

 And here's a pic from naptime.  So peaceful....

2/10 - Rosy "Minnesota Winter" cheeks:


2/11 - Lia turned over twice today!  Both times, she flipped from stomach to back while at Anne's house.  Matt and I have yet to see this in person...


So, altogether, things are moving along!  Now, off to do some homework while Lia naps...
