A Day in the Life...

Reading in the morning after a mid-morning snack while I catch up on email.


Waking up from an afternoon nap - - yes, she prefers not to wear pants.

All bundled up for our after-work walk through the park. Thanks to Greg and Judy for the very warm, fleece-lined white Nautica Kids hoodie (12 mo) and to (grandma) Cathy for the brown and pink flower boots from Carter's (6 mo).

Green and White Smocked Top...

Carter's white long-sleeve onesie (6 mo), Koala Baby boot-cut denim jeans (3-6 mo) and First Impressions green and white smocked top with pink floral embroidery (0-3 mo). Thanks to Carol Ann and Rich for the top - - we got a lot of use out of it this summer and it makes a cute smock now that it's cooler out! :0)

The 'Lil Pumpkin

Baby Gap "little pumpkin" onesie (6 mo), Koala Baby jeans (3-6 mo) and Janie & Jack pumpkin hat (3-6 mo). Thanks to Cheryl and Marge for the festive onesie!

The New Jumper

Carter's pink flower t-shirt and undershirt combo (6 mo), Koala Baby jeans (3-6 mo). Lila got to play in her new playful planet jumper today - - loved it!

Don't forget to donate to Lila's Very Hungry Caterpillar Book Drive! Read for the Record is TOMORROW!! Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Sunday Afternoon at the Zoo

Koala Baby capri khaki pants (0-3 mo), Lamaze blue onesie with butterfly print (6 mo), Carter's light pink hoodie with fuchsia flower (3 mo) and Robeez light and dark pink leather shoes (sz. 2).
We had beautiful weather today and a great time this afternoon with (grandma) Cathy at the zoo! The elephants were particularly entertaining. Lila is definitely starting to teeth and has 'found her tongue...' (hence the first photo!).

All Smiles

Koala Baby boot cut denim jeans (3-6 mo), Lamaze Butterfly print short-sleeve onesie (6 mo), and Carter's pink sweater with butterfly applique (3 mo).

Pumpkin Head

Janie and Jack pumpkin hat (3-6 mo), Baby Gap orange onesie with hot pink floral applique (3-6 mo) and Koala Baby bootleg jeans (3-6 mo). Took this pic with my iPhone and just thought it was too cute not to post...

Philadelphia Road Trip

Carter's red ruffled shrug and white long sleeve onesie (6 mo), Koala Baby's bootleg denim jeans (3-6 mo) and Janie & Jack white leather and cherry shoes (2). I have to say that I LOVE the shoes - - so adorable and Lila seemed to want to stand up even more when wearing them. Thanks so much for them, Sarah!

We went to Philadelphia today to introduce Lila to my fabulous co-workers at UPenn and to have lunch at Suburban Square with Sophie and Jen. After lunch, the four of us went to Janie & Jack and I picked up the most adorable knit pumpkin hat for Lila. Photos coming soon.

Thanks for a great day, everyone!
