New Year, New Goals

Hello all!

So I opened up this blog FOREVER ago and really haven't had time to start it. So it's a new year and it's my goal to keep this updated for family and friends who don't live near and don't have Facebook.

Lyla is now 4 months old! My how time flies. She's changed so much in the 4 months. She has quite the bubbly personality and knows what she wants. We've had a lot of firsts lately. On the 1st we started rice cereal. To say she loves it is an understatement! She squeals and giggles the whole time we are eating it.

We have also introduced her to her Rainforest Jumperoo. Yet another thing she LOVES! She’s enjoying being more independent and having “me” time as we call it. She will bounce, jump & squeal in it for a long time. Today she was fighting the “sleep monster” and was demanding to do something independent though. We stuck her in there, happy as a clam and was falling asleep in it after 5 minutes. Goof ball!

She has also fallen in love with her feet. She’s really discovered them since mid-December but New Year’s Day she was FINALLY able to get her feet to her mouth. Needless to say, it makes diaper changes interesting. :)

Today we tried out oatmeal. Yet another success! She thinks she’s just such a big girl now eating. She also loves our cups. Whenever we are drinking from one, she reaches out and tries to get it. So I put some milk into her bottle cap and let her sip from it last night. Yet another “cool” thing on Lyla’s list.

We are ALMOST done with our basement project. We just have some installs in the bathroom and the carpet. We went and picked out the carpet yesterday. We should be getting a call this week for the people to come measure so we can order the correct amount and installed! We will be SSSOOOO glad to have this major project done!

Well that's it for now. Enjoy the pictures! :)
