Where did this month go??

We have been pretty this month with back to school for Sean and me doing Scentsy and other things here and there. To update you all on our volleyball, it has ended! We really loved playing this season, but neither of our teams made it to playoffs. There is always next year and I think more people will play because our teams got good at the end because we had more players show up.

Sean's brother Stephen got his mission call and will be serving for 2 years in San Jose, California (Spanish Speaking)! We are so excited for him! Sorry I have no pictures! We said our goodbyes to him on Saturday because he left for Utah yesterday! My mom, sister and niece came to watch Lylah so we could be at the Temple while Stephen went through. It was so great having most of his family there. It was nice of my mom to come and watch Lylah and we had a lot of fun with them!

We have been in this game playing mood and so has Lylah as you can tell. She was studying the numbers trying to figure out which on to lay down, haha!!


Water.... Lylah loves the water these days we have been swimming several times and play in the back yard in the sprinklers.

My BIRTHDAY!! For my birthday we went to On the border with Sean's family and then went back to their house for dessert and presents. We all had fun and as you can tell Lylah is always the focus point. Also Pat gave her a taste of a lemon and her facial expressions were so funny, the picture doesn't capture it so well.





Andy and Anjelica come every summer to watch the Red Sox play the Rangers and we love that because we get to see them. Monday night we went to dinner with them in Rockwall and Tuesday we went to their hotel and swam all day! I got a couple good pics of Sean playing in the water! Isn't it suppose to be Lylah playing in the water, not the grown up, haha!!






Back to School has been crazy, I helped out for a few days and I am beat!! Kim was so nice to watch Lylah for us so I could roll in some money!! Thank you Kim we really appreciate it!! I have a feeling next month is going to be just as busy!!

Month 4

Today Little Lylah is 4 months. She is getting so big and becoming less and less of a baby and it is already making me sad. I have mixed emotions because I can't wait till she can sit up and crawl, but then that just means she will be older and I still want her to be my little baby. We went to the Dr. today and her weight is 13.95lbs and height is 24 3/4. She is 70th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in height. He said we can start cereal in months 4 and 5 and so I think we are going to give that a shot. Now a question for all you moms out there, the Dr. gave me some forms to read about starting a baby on cereal and to only start with a tablespoon in one feeding. Which feeding have you done it on, the one right before she goes to bed or what? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Pictures will come soon!

Here are some things about her:

Loves bath time and is learning to splash with her hands and feet.
Hates getting out of the bath and being cold
Loves for Sean to pick her up out of her bed in the morning
Likes being in whatever room we are in, if I am cooking she has to be in her bumbo watching.
Loves sitting in her bumbo
Likes watching her Baby Einstein video
Hates being on her tummy
Drools all over the place
She thinks its funny to laugh while she is eating
Rolls over every now and then from tummy to her back
Sleeps like a champ
Naps like a champ
Grabs toys and puts them to her mouth
Loves talking to people
Laughs really hard when you shake her or tickle her tummy
Laughs when someone blows noises
Loves kisses from Abby
Freaks out when someone she doesn't know messes with her.
She loves being in a pool or sprinklers
Shes a go with the flow kind of gal!

Can you say growth spurt

So Lylah has always been a great sleeper, but today is extreme. She went to bed last night at 7pm and fed a couple times till 8 this morning, but went right back to bed each time she ate. So this morning I am playing with her and she falls asleep at 8:45am so I take her up to her crib and she sleeps till about 11am. She wakes up and I feed her and play around some more and then what does she do fall back asleep at 12:15pm and is still sleeping and it is 2:29pm to be exact. I have checked on her a few times just to make sure everything is ok and it is, she is sleeping away! Usually she takes naps during the day, but they only last about an hour or so and this two hour nap thing is nice, because I have time to organize some closets and clean up. I know this is totally random, but for some reason I love my house to be spotless on Sundays! It could be because its the Sabbath, but I love not having to do anything and because that is one of Sean's only days off.
On Tuesday she will be 4 months and we got to her month check-up and get shots. I will update on how is all goes!!
