Weekend Update

I received the book Robin recommended on getting Lydia to sleep through the night. There are four steps in getting the baby to sleep through the night and we are working on step 1. Step 1 is to have Lydia on an eating schedule during the day. She is supposed to eat four times a day every four hours for a total of 24 ounces. We have her eating at 8:30, 12:30, 4:30, and 8:30. She has done well with the spacing of the feedings. We were feeding every 3 hours, so this is an improvement. We are working on moving towards step 2, which has us eliminating night time feedings.

Since the weather has been a little colder and Lydia is now sleeping in her crib, we worry about her getting cold. She kicks off her blankets when she stirs in the night, so I used a sleep sack for the first time. This was a wonderful investment. Lydia wears the sleep sack over her PJs and it keeps her warm all night long. It reminds me of an infant sized snuggy... On Friday afternoon, Lydia and I met up with Angie and Landon at Cyd's for lunch. It was nice to catch up with another mommy and compare notes on how things have been going. Landon has grown so much since I saw him last and is as cute as ever. Lydia enjoyed wearing her green gap outfit. I was shocked it fit her because it is a size 3-6 months. It was a colder afternoon so I wanted her to stay warm so I thought I would see if her green sweatsuit would fit and it did! Lucky for us, we had a green bow to match.

I did decide to go to Brooklyn's Bowtique and get a green flower to go with her white hat because I wanted her to wear a hat to the wedding shower we had to go to Friday night. Lydia is modeling her new accessory in her picture below. I think green is Lydia's color! She looks so cute in green, but of course I think that about most outfits I put her in!
Saturday night, Daddy, Mommy, and Lydia went to Matt and Danielle's to watch the Iowa/Penn State Game. Lydia sported her hot pink Iowa outfit that Aunt Brittany bought her! We were so happy that Iowa pulled off the upset and beat ranked Penn State at the Lion's home turf! What an awesome game!
We have a doctor's appointment in a week and half. I am looking forward to seeing how much Lydia has grown. It seems like she has already gotten so much bigger in the last few weeks. I am not looking forward to her having to get her shots, but am prepared with baby tylenol and lots of love to give her when we come home. Brett and I are getting our flu shots that day as well.
