3 Weeks Old

I can't believe our little girl is already 3 weeks old. Time is sure flying by. Todd went back to work last week, and Lily and I survived our first week home alone together! It's definitely been an adjustment, but we're getting used to things.
She's got the "Todd Scowl" goin' on :)

We have thought that Lily was getting colic, but aren't positive. We know she has a sensitive stomach and has a hard time coping with any sort of tummy troubles. Her sleeping schedule is also a little backwards still (she thinks she needs to be wide awake between midnight and 1am), so the combination of fighting sleep and upset tummy has made for some interesting nights. She is getting a little better each night though. We've started giving her Hyland's brand Colic tablets (thank you Amanda and Becca for suggesting them!) which seem to help calm her stomach down. So, now we get to figure out how to fix her sleeping schedule...and are very open to suggestions!

She is so good during the day! She is actually starting to smile a tiny bit. She is such a cuddly little girl, and loves to snuggle with her parents. She takes great naps during the day, and is finally getting the hang of nursing. For how much she's grown already, we're surprised she's still fitting into her newborn clothes. 0-3 month clothes are still a little too big for her. She is already in Size 1 diapers though!

We had quite the firework adventure last night! One of the smaller aerials tipped over when it went off, and shot right where we were sitting. One went off by my elbow while I was holding Lily, and fortunately didn't get either of us. She looked completely content through the entire adventure. She slept really well last night, so maybe we just need to give her a little adventure every night :)
