Mommy's shopping spree!

So I've been putting off getting a few things that I wanted, so today Lyla and I hit the stores! lol We got a fisher price mini booster chair (the one that straps to your dining chair) so I wasn't sure if I wanted a full sized one, but I think it will really come in handy. So when the Chicco Polly went on sale this week I thought I should pick it up. It's super cute and I love all the features. Especially the small fold. I didn't know if I wanted a full sized chair since we don't have a lot of space, but it packs up super small. So far love it!

Next stop, I needed to get a new sleep sack for Lyla. We had a couple of 0-6 month ones given to us, and I bought one of the ones with sleeves from Carter's, but she's been growing out of them, so I figured I should invest in a good one that will last for a while. Luckily the store had this super cute style in the size I was looking for. Super cute!

I also stopped into The Children's Place. They had some crazy clearance prices. So of course I had to pick up a few things. I bought 12 month sizes so they'll fit a little later on. Fun Day!

Funny how I bought nothing for myself, but it was still a lot of fun...oh how things change!

7 Months

I found this picture on my phone and just had to post it. This was in the hospital, Greg wanted nothing more than to have her sleep on him, but she never really did. The only place she slept was on my chest, which made for a long 3 days! So cute...such a big head, the little hat wouldn't fit!




This month has bee SO busy, of course Christmas and everything that came with that. But we also added solids to the meal plan. I never really thought about how much this would add to the day. Especially on the days where she makes me wait for 20+ minutes before she'll finally start eating. Here she's working on the prunes and blueberries....mmmm! lol


Daddy got her this little cart for Christmas and when we help her stand up she'll stay there forever. She loves standing and now that she can do it herself she gets very excited.

And we have teeth! 2 of them! I'm not sure if you can see them in this picture or not but they are there. It was quite a long process to get them but she's been in great spirits ever since.

I'm absolutely loving be home with Lyla. I'm already starting to freak out about having to go back to work in May. I know I shouldn't complain about having a full year off, but I'm really getting spoiled by getting to be with her every minute of every day, I just can't imagine not being here with her. Love her sooo much!

Lyla's first Christmas

I've always loved Christmas, but Christmas with our baby...unreal! We had such a good time. Of course I spoiled her...I couldn't help myself. But everything just seemed so much better. Having her at church, and seeing her playing with her cousins, it was just amazing.

Surrounded by her presents...I know I went crazy! lol

Now that I got a new computer she gets to finally play with the old one!

Our first family Christmas morning.

Playing with her cousin Noah (18 months)

My brother and his fiancee with Noah

We had a little trouble with sleeping, and I was scared it would carry over when we got home. But nope, she's right back to normal. Such a good girl!











Best present for me? (Besides watching Lyla enjoy everything so much!) A new lap top! yoohoo! Makes this so much easier.
