About this picture...

So my sisters have made some comments about this pic of Lila that I posted on my Facebook page. The night I posted the pic I had just finished adding captions to all the pics and then my computer froze. That is why my sisters were left wondering. Well, this is not a picture of my baby in a straight jacket. It is her Woombie. It is the BEST swaddling device. The first night I put Lila in it she slept for five hours straight. This was when she was about 7 weeks old. At the time it was a record. Unfortunetly, Lila outgrew her Woombie in record time. I think we only used it for two weeks or so and then she was too big. I wish I had discovered it before she was born. The great thing about it versus just swaddling your baby in a blanket, is that they can still move their arms a little bit to get comfy, but they can't flail around and wake themselves up. It is made of stretch cotton and a little spandex and it zips right up. It is amazing and not a torture device!!

That would have been a life saver for Addy! She busted out of swaddling so fast, I definitley need one for the our next kids:)

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
