Thanksgiving was great this year. I had all of my family to celebrate with… AND dinner was at my mom’s house just a few miles down the road from us.
I am so thankful for my husband, my kids, my mom, my brothers, and my sisters-in-law.
Here are our “best” poses:
Here are some candid shots:
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.
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.
So I’m behind on pictures… nothing new.
We let the kiddos play at the park and lunch at what Miles calls “Old McDonald’s.”
Miles wanted me to give him an underdog on the swings at the park. When his cousin Noel heard his request and how high he went flying, she asked very politely if I would give her an “undercat.” Made my day :)
Going out 2 days in a row is practically unheard of with my young crew of 3 kids… but we made it with the help of my youngest brothers and Tommy’s family.
We spent Tuesday at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. I have to admit it was fun but not worth the admission fee. I even had to fork over $9 for 16 month old Masie. The kids had fun which is the most important thing, but the place really isn’t very big, and we saw everything and were back home by naptime.
Well, getting back home by naptime did make my day.
At 5.5 months, Lyla got her first taste of solid food in the form of rice cereal, yummah! Every bite was spit back out and spooned back in about 5 times, but she got through her first bowl. If her eating habits are going to be anything like her personality, she’ll be easy to please. Think there’s hope?
