Today's photo shoot was quite comical. For starters, Lila did not want to keep her skirt down. I'd put it down and not a moment later she'd have it up by her chin. I'd smooth it out again and by the time I'd picked up the camera, she had the hem in her mouth. Something tells me that she won't be wearing a lot of skirts, at least until she understands that undergarments aren't for the whole world to see.
I got a few shots with her skirt down, but she was less than enthused about posing today.
Seriously, Mom? Can't we be doing something more fun? I'm bored.
Hey, this thing's edible, right? 
Sit still, skirt down, think about smiling? Okay, fine. But I'll only think about smiling. Then we go find Daddy. Deal?
Lila got her 4 month shots on Thursday, and I'm so happy to report that this time, the whole thing was super easy. She didn't enjoy the actual injection, nor did she enjoy the oral vaccine she received, but she only cried for a minute or two before settling in for a snack. After her snack she took a long nap and she awoke with seemingly no memory of the vaccines. She did come home with a few stickers and an animal sounds book, rewards from the nurses for her bravery.Yesterday and today it has been hot and humid here. I'm so thankful that Lila has outgrown the need to be swaddled because it has been too dang hot for her to wear much to bed. Last night she wore a sleeveless sleep sack and tonight she's in just a diaper and a short-sleeved onesie. Poor baby seems to have inherited her mom's propensity towards overheating and sweating when the temperature rises above, oh, 70 degrees.
Last night I spent a night out with the girls, so Daddy bathed Lila and put her to bed. She was very, very unhappy about not being able to nurse to sleep, and cried for quite a long time before finally succumbing to exhaustion. She wouldn't take a bottle (that has never happened) and went to sleep without eating. When I got home I thought for sure she'd be awake soon looking for food, but she wound up sleeping until 6 am - a solid 9 hours since she had gone down and 11 hours since she had last eaten. While we were thankful for the sleep, we were a bit concerned that she could sleep so long without eating. It's very out of character for her. She struggled a bit going down again tonight, but I think that had more to do with being warm and uncomfortable. We'll see how she sleeps tonight.
Tomorrow is a big day for Miss Baby Z and her parents...watch for another update! :)
