Lila turned three months old this week. She weighed a tiny 10 lbs 9 oz, and 22.5 inches long finally gaining an ounce this last week which is the only weight she had gained in a month. She has had a really rough few months with three ear infections (and I'm pretty sure today makes four), severe reflux, lots of food allergies to things in my breast milk, a hernia, two rounds of thrush, and a final diagnosis of delayed gastric emptying. She started on a new medicine to push food through her stomach quicker and she has seemed to eat much more this week so we are hopeful that she will start to put on some weight. With all of her problems it would seem impossible for Lila to have hit any milestones but she is one of those tiny little wiry babies who hits their gross motor milestones early. She rolled from back to front for the first time at six weeks. We thought it must be a fluke until she did it again a couple of times the next few days. She then rolled front to back at eight weeks. She is occasionally cooing with vowel sounds and makes the g sound a lot. She is surprisingly smiley in between her bouts of screaming and even though it is short lived I think she is going to be a really happy little baby when we get this all figured out at some point. She has started to bat at toys but hates to be laid down for more than 3-5 minutes. She is a rock star on her belly and can push up on her arms and hold her head ninety degrees. She is in love with the living room ceiling fan and it receives more smiles than any of us. She gazes at it lovingly. For fun one day Kurt came over when she was staring transfixed and span the blades suddenly. She jumped and looked shocked and scared. It didn't ruin their relationship though, she still stares happily at it. Bath time is Lila's favorite and sometimes I give her a bath just to calm her down. She goes from screaming to silent and kicking around like crazy in the water to screaming when I take her out. She must be reminiscing about all that extra fluid she was hanging out in a few months ago. Here are some pictures from the past two months.
This is the only place Lila occasionally hangs out that isn't Mom or Dad's arms.

You mean 3 weeks, right? Ha ha. She is so beautiful! It's so great to see pics that aren't on my crappy phone!! She is really so cute. Tiny babies are good for something. I see a lot of Jackson in her in the bath photos.
I thought the same thing when I put the bath pictures on. She really looks so much more like him than anna. That was the quickest comment I have ever received by the way! Under ten minutes from posting.
