Lydia turned a month old today! Kinda crazy! This month went by pretty fast!
Things we've learned this month:
1) Lydia loves to sleep. If she doesn't want to wake up she won't and there is nothing you can do to wake her. This is especially annoying when she falls asleep eating in the middle of the night. We have tried everything...undressing her, tickling her, lotion, a cold wash cloth, holding her in front of a fan, etc. Heck, the other night both Tyler and I were tickling her - vigorously - and it did nothing. We have tried everything anyone has suggested and nothing works for this kid.
2) As I said, Lydia loves to sleep...but only if she's being held. I kid you not...she will fall asleep in your arms or on your chest and the minute you lay her down she is wide awake. Lucky for me I've learned to sleep sitting up or I would have way too many sleepless nights. I won't lie though...I do like a cuddly baby. Emma could have cared less if you held her or not as a baby so this is a nice change.
3) She is very noisy. Lydia grunts all day long. She does not like to be moved. If she is in one position you do not move her to another position or she will tell you off...in her own language. It really is quite funny though! :)
Basically she's a doll and we love her to death...well most of us. Emma is on a moment to moment basis. :)
Here is an onslaught of pictures. :)
Fun with Grandma!!

Update! Had her 1 month check up today (10/9) and she weighs 9 lbs 12 oz and is 21 inches long! Putting her in the 50th percentile in both categories!
I wanna hold her! :-) She's beautiful!
