Some Cute Moments

Here are some pictures from last week. Lyla was looking really cute in her nursery chair. I just loved her in this outfit. It finally got cold enough for her to wear it.



Lyla enjoyed playing with her Thanksgiving cards from her Nanas and Papas.



Over the weekend, we decided to try and put Lyla in the jogging stroller facing forward. She is usually in her carseat facing backward at us. Last time we tried this she didn't like it, but she thoroughly enjoyed herself this time. She cooed and babbled the entire walk.




She's also getting the hang of the jumper we bought her. Well sort of. She doesn't really jump, but she loves playing with the toys.

Sleeping, rolling & sitting

Not much happened this week. Tommy was out of town, but now he's home. Lyla was a good baby while he was gone. She slept really well. This is how she's been sleeping for about month now. Yes, I put her on her back like I'm supposed to, but she rolls to her tummy and sleeps like that the entire night.



Lyla is on the move now. Yesterday I laid her in the middle of this blanket, in the middle of the toys. I went to wash some dishes and when I returned, she was like this. She usually only rolls to her tummy and stays there. She must've rolled three times to get off the blanket and I missed it.



Last night she sat in her bumpo for the longest time ever and played with the toy on it. My little girl is growing up so fast.

Lyla's 5 Months Old Today!

Lyla is 5 months old!! Thank goodness, she doesn't have to go to the doctor for a 5 month well baby visit. We do that again at 6 months. Lyla had a pretty good 5 month birthday, except she decided not to nap well and she had a minor 10 minute meltdown tonight. I think she's worried about getting old!! This birthday is really getting to her. I'm still propping Lyla up so that she will be sitting up soon. I have to make sure she's sitting up by Christmas so she can play with her new toys that Santa brings her. I think she will be. Here's what she looked like today sitting in the boppy trying to reach for her book.

First kiss!

Tommy and I went to a Navy party last Friday night. We left Lyla with our friends, the Walters. They have a one year old named James. Lyla had a good time, but look what she did. She had her first kiss with baby James. She's so cute, I knew it wouldn't be too long before this happened. We appreciate the Walters keeping Lyla and letting us have baby-free fun for a few hours.

Baby Dedication at Church - 10/26/08

Lyla was dedicated at our church, Deermeadows Baptist Church, on October 26th, 2008. I blogged about it earlier, but didn't have the pictures to share with you. Here they are. My parents and Tommy's parents were here to share this special day with us. Our church has a wonderful children's program and we are so excited that Lyla gets to spend her first few years of life there. We pray that when the Navy decides to move us we can find a church similar to Deermeadows.

Lyla's pillow fort

In hopes that Lyla will soon be able to sit unsupported, we have been propping her up in a pillow fort to play with her toys. She's getting stronger, so it probably won't be too much longer!!

Our Halloween costumes

I told you in one of my first blogs that Tommy and I went to a Halloween party, but I didn't tell you about our costumes. My dad sent me the pictures he took, so here we are. Can you guess what we are? We are "Ceiling Fans." I'll let you figure it out.
