Lilah is 4 months old...



Lilah Jo is 4 months old! She weighs in at 13 lbs, 1 oz and is 25 inches in length. Basically, she's tall and skinny! The doctor complimented us on her face too... compared her to a porcelain doll. Ironically, she broke out with her first pimple the very next day! :-) She's teething already so her hands are constantly in her mouth... and she bites hard, so don't give her your fingers! She's laughing, talking, smiling, rolling and scoots when you put her on the ground on her tummy. She'll be crawling in no time. Lilah loves grabbing her feet too, as you can see in the picture! She has also mastered walking with assistance! If daddy or mommy hold her hands she knows already to take steps, and she's very good at it. We might just bypass the whole crawling phase! Everything looks great, and she's progressing nicely!

Daddy... hard at work!

Chris worked overtime last Sunday and actually climbed a 100 ft pole... thought we'd post a picture of him hard at work! I'd post more, but the other pictures show just how high the pole is... and frankly, it's sickening! :-)

Lilah's bodyguard...
We are really trying to get Lilah used to just laying on the floor and playing, or hanging out in her crib with toys... and she's taking to it quite nicely! Especially when she has her bodyguard Hagan around!

Hanging out with Daddy...

I had my student teaching orientation this past Saturday, August 23rd and left Lilah with Daddy for the morning... this is how I left them! I knew she was in GREAT hands!

Gym play



Lilah doesn't usually enjoy playing on her baby gym but every now and then she certainly enjoys herself!

Lilah rolled...






Yesterday, Monday, August 18, 2008 Lilah rolled for the first time! She hasn't quite figured out what to do with that arm that is underneath her, and I know if we just give her time to figure it out, she'll get it. But she was awfully crabby at the time of rolling... we think she's also teething!

Our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary











On Sunday, August 10, 2008 Chris and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. Chris took me to Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs area) where we stayed at the newly renovated Agua Caliente hotel, casino and spa. Mike and Ashley and Luke and Nicole joined us! We had a great time! Our hotel room was amazing (with a flat screen in the bathroom), and we got a cabana by the pool on Saturday. Needless to say, we had plenty of fun, got lots of sun and enjoyed ourselves. It was our first weekend away from Baby Lilah but was much needed. However, on Sunday we were both anxious to get home to her.

Our favorite pictures of our peanut...





This last image was actually seen on the FOX 11 morning news on August 4th, 2008. Lilah Jo was Lisa Breckenridge's baby face for that morning! She's famous!

Happy baby...






4th of July 2008

This 4th of July Lilah woke up with her first cold - probably a side effect from her shots... so we laid low and hung out at home for most of the day. However, we had to show her off in her 4th of July dress, so we went to Grandma's later that day/night and watched Uncle Rob light off fireworks. Happy 4th!

Father's Day 2008







For Father's Day I took Lilah to Babies R' Us and had pictures taken of both her and I for Grandpa and Daddy. They turned out great, and were a huge hit!

Mother's Day 2008

We had a great first Mother's Day. Chris's aunt had a BBQ with his side of the family, so this was Lilah's first real outing. We were very proud parents!

Tubby Time!




Daddy gives the best tubbies (baths) on the block! She loves them, contrary to the picture... :-)
