Sweet & Spicy

This girl has multiple presonalities....sweet and quiet, or loud and in charge! We love her either way!

(**insert LOUD piercing scream)



some love for odie :)

blankie

Lilah has been attached to this blanket for a long time now. I wish I could remember who gave it to her. If it was you, THANK YOU! :) When she first started talking she called it 'purple blankie' and she had a 'stand-by' blankie that could be used in emergencies she called 'other blankie'. She is soley a 'brown blankie' girl now. She has recently started to ask for the 'thing' when we cover her up with blankie at night. She is talking about the tag. One of the reasons I love this so much is that it reminds me of when my little sister (not so little any longer!) April, was a tiny girl and she loved the tag on her bear she couldn't love without...the simple things that bring you back to simpler times!! 

Dancing with Daddy

Lilah yelled for Lee tonight...."Daaaaddy come dance wiff me (to the Wiggles, of course). He did and it was one of the most adorable things ever. Lilah LOVED it!

After the Wiggles were over, we sang the 'monkeys jumpin on the bed' song about a hundred times....until our little monkey was running around the living room and really did bump her head. She called it a 'little crash'. Here she is before her little incident.

some love for winnie...

Declan and Johanna!!

Last weekend, we were pleasantly surprised when we found out Johanna and Declan for in town for a few days. We always jump on any opportunity to see these two! Johanna and I talked about life, laughed a lot.....and Lilah and Declan started a band. Tour dates haven't been set yet, but I am telling you.....THEY ARE GOOD! :)

Two peas in a pod...

Group shot - take 1

After a few more outtakes....we finally got one where we were all looking at the camera and looking at least somewhat happy....ok at least looking at the camera!

We can't wait to see you two again!!!

Daddy's Eyes??? I hope so!!

Lilah thinks it's fun to wear my glasses. I also caught her in the tub the other night dipping her finger in one of her bath toy cups and then toughing her eye. When I asked her what she was doing she said, "putting in contacts"...Cute as it may be, I am hoping she never has to deal with the frustration of glasses/contacts. ugh! Lee has perfect eyesight, and she has his beautiful brown eyes....let's hope she takes after daddy and can see!!

Little Mommy

We are trying a new bedtime routine around here. For some strange reason after 7:00 our tv stopped working. :) Lilah even checked to make sure. So, we did a lot of music listening. and singin. and humming. and I did a lot of silent laughing that turned into hysterical laughter. We have been having dance parties for a little while now, and since she LOVES music, we thought maybe some softer tunes would help get her to sleep. We were finally getting calmed down when a song came on. Lilah sprang out of bed and grabbed her baby. She knew this one...it was the 'little baby song' and I had to find her blankie so it was ready when she needed it.

too woud!

is what lilah was saying as i took this picture. we were dancing to her cds, and she quickly changed her mind; it was time to read...
