Happy 5 month birthday baby!

5 months ago today we were in the hospital and you were about 5.5 hours old! My how the time just flies by. I feel like I just had you a week ago, but that just ain't so....look how big you are.







Right now you are babbling up a storm, especially while chewing on your hands. You won't leave them alone and I think even if I spent $1.5 million on the coolest toy ever, nothing would even compare to your hands. You just stare at them, opening and closing, opening and closing them in total awe.

You absolutely despise green beans and you are quickly becoming a less than happy baby with your peas. But we keep going, on to sweet potatos tomorrow maybe?! mmmmmm....Brutus is loving that you are eating, he gets all the spray droppings from your rasberries you just love to blow with food in your mouth.
You are becoming such a big girl so fast and I try not to miss a minute of any of it!

I love you forever and ever and always,

me

P.S. Sorry for all the goofy outfits Lyla, but you are just so darn cute in them! :)

Scarred for life


That's right, we did it. We stood in line for 45 minutes at Bass Pro Shop and waited for our FREE photo with Santa, yes, I am THAT cheap.


As SOON as we got up to all the decorations she started, then it got louder and Louder and LOUder and LOUDER! The picture was snapped, I grabbed my baby and out the door we went, however the store is HUGE so she screamed the entire way out. I never had so many people stare at me before...and trailing behind me was my hubby holding the diaper bag! ha ha.


Hopefully, our next few encounters with the big man go a little bit better.
