Highchair time!

Auntie Jackie's neighbor found this high chair at a garage sale, restored it and gave it to her. She, in turn, gave it to Noni and Grandpa for their house! Lilah loves it! We definitely need to start using a high chair at home. Also, Emily and Joey told us about these great net things... haha not sure what they are officially called. They look like pacifiers but instead of the rubber to suck on, they have netting. You can put pieces of fruit inside and the baby can suck on them and get all of the juice out, without swallowing anything large! Noni put some mandarin orange in there... Lilah was one happy baby!

Christmas with the Careys and Rodriguez's

We did Christmas with Chris' family on Saturday, December 20th because we were leaving town on the 22nd to head up north to Sacramento. Grandma, Great Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie and both Uncles totally spoiled Lilah Jo! She got quite a few toys that she just loves (all learning toys, which mommy loves) and a ton of toys! She even opened most of them by herself!

Moving to the Big Girl Crib!

So mommy has had a very difficult time with this whole "baby sleeping in her crib in her own room" thing. She's been sleeping in her co-sleeper next to our bed since the day she was born. She's now over 7 months old and mommy and daddy have decided to move her to her crib. Last night was the first night... probably shouldn't have waited until she was TEETHING to do this! She was up every few hours and ended up in mommy and daddy's bed (thankfully daddy is away at work or he never would have allowed it)... just for an hour or two. Needless to say, this is going to be a rocky transition, for both mommy and Lilah!

I read that my nephew Carter is staring his transition too.... good luck Jackie and Dave! It's rough! I see you're having the same issues!

I Love My Tubbies!!!!

Lilah is really taking to her new tubby - the inflatable duck! We put it in our bath tub and she is getting the hang of the splashing! We give her a rubber ducky of her own and she plays with that thing for as long as we'll let her! Here is a video of her enjoying her tubby...

... approximately 2 seconds after this video was shot... Lilah went face first into the tubby! She officially got her first full mouth and nose with water!!! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our happy family!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We spent it with Chris's family so that we could spend a few days up north with my parents in Sacramento for Christmas. We were able to see the whole family which was great! We're looking forward to the rest of the holidays!

I'm Standing Up...

Lilah gets stronger and stronger every day! She's pulling herself up every chance she gets! I got video of her pulling herself up onto a bouncer chair at Chris's grandma's house... she's hilarious!
