It's Been A Long Time

It's been too long since I blogged to let you know how the Morrow's are doing. We have been so busy enjoying the Holiday season that I haven't had a chance to keep everyone up to date. Also, we left our digital camera in NC over Thanksgiving, so we've been using our old out of date camera which isn't as easy to use. So, you won't get to see any pics from Thanksgiving since they are being held hostage on our camera in NC.

Our Thanksgiving trip to NC was a huge success. Lyla did so good in the car going and coming home. She hardly fussed, and we made it there in the same amount of time that we did pre-Lyla. I'm sure that will change when Lyla is potty trained. We have a while until that happens though. Over Thanksgiving we visited all of our families and had a great time. Lyla had so many people to play with and enjoyed it all. She was showing off at Great Grandma George's and tried to crawl, but hasn't quite accomplished that yet.

Since we got home, we've been shopping, shopping, shopping. Thank goodness I'm not working and can do some shopping during the week when it's not so crowded. It still takes forever because I don't like to keep Lyla out too long, so we shop in short spurts. We've also been going to Christmas parties. We had Tommy's squadron Christmas party, Tommy's Officer's Christmas party and our Sunday School Christmas party. We would like to thank the Everitts, Leonards, and Walters for babysitting Lyla so that we could enjoy the festivities. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends to help us out.

As you can see at the top of my blog, we took our Christmas card photo. It was not an easy task since we were using our old camera and the screen doesn't work anymore. Here are some other recent pictures so you can see how Lyla is growing.

Lyla received Christmas gifts from her friends Jamison and Gage. She did a pretty good job unwrapping them.




Here is Lyla on her 6 month birthday. Poor Lyla had her first cold on her 6 month birthday. It wasn't too bad, just a really stuffy nose. She was still able to get her shots as you can see from the band aid on her thigh. Lyla has really grown:
weight: 15 lbs 8 ozs (birth weight: 7 lbs 1 oz)
height: 25 1/2 inches (birth height: 20 inches)



As you can see we are trying out some new hairstyles. Our new favorite is the sprig on the top of her head. I also tried a bow on each side, but I don't think we'll be repeating this one. What do you all think?
