Nine months

Likes: Solid food, rolling, watching Noah
Dislikes: Poopy diapers, green beans

Lyla continues to be such a happy baby. She smiles at everyone who looks at her and loves waving when people leave. She weighed in right at 20 pounds at her check-up. Her pediatrician says we need to keep an eye on her gross motor skills (which we heard all of Noah's first year) but she is otherwise growing right on track. We're thankful for her sweet presence!

This is what you call a botched photo shoot. Typically, I only post my favorites....but....then I'd be only posting one pic! I'm not even showing you the worst of the worst. I guess month nine was a wash!

Whoops.

I completely abandoned the blog for a while. We haven't been incredibly busy, but haven't done exceptionally fun things lately, which always makes me think there isn't anything to post, and then I get way behind. (That was a lot of commas...) I'm pulling in pics from my phone (which are never great) and from the camera, so they'll be a little out of order.

We've spent some time on sewing projects (and are really excited that Baby Lincoln is finally here to enjoy his cozy carseat blanket!)

And we took a weekend trip to Lebanon where Lyla enjoyed her nap more than I thought she would in this position! 

And we spent some time at Incredible Pizza one day (when Emily and I planned to take the boys to a splash pad and found out it was closed after we already got there...) where Lyla enjoyed watching Noah and Cole play.

And we've loved some beautiful weather at the park! 

This just cracks me up. Lyla was loving it and was almost asleep, though she looks very uncomfortable!

We've had playdates with Cole. The boys spent a lot of time singing "Happy Birthday" with this singing dog and then pretending to blow out the candles while squealing in delight.

And we've spent a lot of time rolling. Well, Lyla has! She can get wherever she wants to go by rolling and has no motivation to crawl, though she can push herself with her toes just a smidge sometimes. 

 

This was 4 minutes after telling me he wasn't tired one day. 

And this was after that 15 minute catnap in the car...a full blown temper tantrum in the doctor's office because he kept asking for a shot (because we were there for Lyla's check-up and she was getting some) and I told him he couldn't have one, too. Such a mean mother. 

We've spent some time cheering on our Tigers (you can't see the tiger on her hip, or the football on her bottom). 

And we've spent some time doing yard work and clean up! Yay for child labor!  :) 

We've taken naps...sometimes...

We've eaten snacks...off the floor...

And try really hard to crawl! 

We've baked cakes...

...complete with frosting and sprinkles! 

We've "worked on the 'puters!"

And we've enjoyed rides in the wagon! 

We've just enjoyed life!
