6 Month Old Lyla

Our beautiful baby is 6 months old today.

Lyla is a sweet piece of yummy cuddles. Don’t be fooled, she’s not sitting up yet… If I prop her legs just right, she can balance for a few moments for a cute photo.

  We are celebrating this week by traveling to UT to finalize her adoption in Salt Lake City. I spoke with Lyla’s maternal birth grandmother last week, so I’m feeling at ease with this finalization because of the knowledge that Lyla’s birth family continues to be happy with their decision to place her in our home. We are so fortunate to have loving support from them.

This gorgeous girl has recently discovered how cute she is and loves to look at herself in mirrors (that’s her reflection in her exersaucer mirror).

She remains the most easy-going baby. Her favorite place to be is resting on my shoulder while chewing on my shirt. She snuggles in nice and tight. She likes for me to get really close and talk to her while she strokes my face and coos back at me. She’s learning to brace herself when Masie comes running at her wanting kisses. Miles loves to make her laugh by bouncing her in the bouncer. She might end up being a little dare-devil since she likes to be tossed just a little in the air and will giggle away. Her skin is smooth and soft and I feel like I can never give her enough kisses.

Happy 6 months my darling Lyla.
