Lila and Her Dogs

Carter's Winter Friends Long Sleeve Onesie (9 mo.) Lila's favorite playmates lately are Chaeli and Bailey. Bailey (the bichon) is infinitely patient with her (as you can see in the first photo!) and Chaeli (jack russell/chihuahua) has a serial licking problem, so she likes to help keep Lila clean (no matter how much we object). Here are a few photos we snapped Sunday night. :0)

Lila is becoming mobile (eek!). She rolls around and scoots across rugs. She's also starting to reach and grab more frequently... so here are a few shots of her playing on the boppy mat that same night.

The Sweet Pea Chronicles: Part I

So, in this series of photos, Lila is wearing sweet peas. So is her father. So is the high chair.

We started her on 'phase one' foods about two weeks ago (with the pediatrician's blessing and approval) and are making them ourselves (surprisingly easy so far... although it may get more time consuming...). But someone (who will remain nameless) thought she's enjoy the sweet pea puree if it had triple the formula in it. And this is what happened. Needless to say, he probably won't make it with quite so much liquid next time. Everyone, including the floor, needed a shower after this one.

Sweet peas aren't a fan favorite just yet - - she seems to prefer sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas and apples. Pears and squash are up next. :0)

Good Morning Sunshine!

VitaminKid's pink floral romper (3-6 mo). Thanks to (great aunt) MaryLee for the outfit!

First Time on the Swings

It was a beautiful day today! So Lila had her first trip to the swings in the park... :0) As you can tell from the picture, she hated it...

Just for you Chicago Cubs fans...

I'm pretty sure that Pat might hide this outfit, but here's Lila decked out in her pink Cubs gear!! If you want to see her in the White Sox gear, you can check out this September post (it's amazing how much she's grown since then!).

Out for a Walk and the Great Debate

Dwell Studios for Target purple and yellow butterfly onesie and magenta/purple/yellow hoodie with striped hat (3-6 mo). The red that is all over her face is the tylenol she decided to spit out right as I was taking this photo - - but it was just too cute not to post. Doesn't look like she's having that bad a response to yesterday's vaccines? :0)
In honor of her great-grandfather's political debate on Sunday, Lila wore her Obama "progress" onesie - - thanks to (aunt) Kit for the onesie!
