Breaking News.....

Lila is officially breaking her first tooth!!!  We were having dinner at my sisters tonight and I gave her a piece of chicken to suck on.  I was holding it tight so she wouldn't choke and she was just gnawing at it and all of a sudden I felt something sharp.  I felt around more and had a good look, and she is definitely cutting her two bottom teeth.  I never thought feeling a tooth would make me so excited, but it did.  I love being able to witness all of her firsts and I am going to miss that so much when I go back to work next week.  I'm just going to have to tell the babysitter not to tell me if she does something new!

Baptism

O     I absolutely loved my wedding dress. But for years I had dreams of having it turned into my daughters baptism gown. When I was pregnant with the triplets I was so excited to know that MaryElizabeth would be baptized in it, but sadly we all know how that story ended. So this past weekend was bittersweet. It wasn't the daughter I imagined. Instead my beautiful second daughter, Lila, wore my dress (or rather, parts of it). I was so happy with the way it turned out and even though my plans changed I am so glad Lila had something so meaningful to wear. The love I have for Lila runs so deep and I cherish every single moment with her. 

6 Months

     It's hard to believe that our baby is half a year old already!  At 6 months, Lila:

• eats sweet potatoes, squash, apple sauce, and anything on mommy or daddy's plate
• can't drink from a sippy cup, but will drink out of a regular cup
• can just about sit up by herself
• sleeps with her butt in the air
• is very happy and almost always has a smile on her face
• does not like to go to bed
• is teething
• loves to be the center of attention
• puts everything in her mouth
• reaches for her mommy
• gets so excited when daddy comes home
• likes to play airplane
• loves to kick her feet in the water
• is not a huge fan of mommy's photo ops

Christmas

I had to go all the way to Michigan to find the perfect ornament for my babies.
