7 Months
Lila will be 8 months old in a week, so I'm just a tad late with this post.
She would much rather crawl (almost, it's more like scorching) all over the place than have her picture taken. Here are some cute pics of my love:
I love this girl!
Every day she gets more and more fun. She's so inquisitive and learns something new every day. She's still such a happy girl and easily adapts to new situations. My favorite, I'm confident she finally knows who her mommy is! I love the big smile I get when I pick her up from daycare and how she reaches her arms up when she wants me to pick her up.
She's on the move these days and pictures are getting harder to take. When I did her 7 month photos a few weeks ago most of the shots looked like this:

Darling Daughter
My darling daughter has been waking consistently in the middle of the night for the past few weeks, and sleep has not been easy to get. So what am I doing wide awake at 4am on my last night of summer vacation? Staring at the baby monitor, of course! It figures that she would sleep good but I'd be wide awake, nervous that something is wrong. She's on her stomach as usual, with her cute butt sticking up in the air. I love this girl!
Lila's been doing great with eating. She's tried many different foods but thinks she's a big girl. She'd rather have food off our plates and drink out of a cup, but fortunately does enjoy sitting in her high chair.
I enjoy my job, but I'm going to miss our days together. She's so aware of everything and I love watching her learn new things. She's just about sitting on her own and should be crawling soon! I can't believe how fast time goes.
She's still not up! Maybe she is finally changing and will go back to sleeping through the night. I guess I should try and get some sleep. Good night!

Breaking News.....
Lila is officially breaking her first tooth!!! We were having dinner at my sisters tonight and I gave her a piece of chicken to suck on. I was holding it tight so she wouldn't choke and she was just gnawing at it and all of a sudden I felt something sharp. I felt around more and had a good look, and she is definitely cutting her two bottom teeth. I never thought feeling a tooth would make me so excited, but it did. I love being able to witness all of her firsts and I am going to miss that so much when I go back to work next week. I'm just going to have to tell the babysitter not to tell me if she does something new!

Baptism
O I absolutely loved my wedding dress. But for years I had dreams of having it turned into my daughters baptism gown. When I was pregnant with the triplets I was so excited to know that MaryElizabeth would be baptized in it, but sadly we all know how that story ended. So this past weekend was bittersweet. It wasn't the daughter I imagined. Instead my beautiful second daughter, Lila, wore my dress (or rather, parts of it). I was so happy with the way it turned out and even though my plans changed I am so glad Lila had something so meaningful to wear. The love I have for Lila runs so deep and I cherish every single moment with her.

- can't drink from a sippy cup, but will drink out of a regular cup
- can just about sit up by herself
- sleeps with her butt in the air
- is very happy and almost always has a smile on her face
- does not like to go to bed
- is teething
- loves to be the center of attention
- puts everything in her mouth
- reaches for her mommy
- gets so excited when daddy comes home
- likes to play airplane
- loves to kick her feet in the water
- is not a huge fan of mommy's photo ops
