Okay, so I found yet another cute picture of Lyla. I have officially become obsessed with this blogging thing...but who could resist writing about such a cute little girl? This picture is one of Nate's all-time favorites (she's only a few weeks old in this picture)...Lyla is so peaceful when she sleeps, and has been peacefully sleeping through the night since she was about 5 weeks old. Last night she couldn't fill her belly enough...so I ended up nursing until about 1:30 am. Still, she slept until 9, and I am so thankful she makes being a mommy a little easier.
So I found some of these adorable pictures on my camera, and had to post them. First, this picture of Nate was taken on Thanksgiving (to be more specific...our first Thanksgiving as a family of 3!), and he is such a handsome guy. I've always felt so special to have married someone I consider to be so good looking and sweet. I was always the awkward nerdy girl in high school, and Nate always told me how much he loved my height. I feel like we have done a lot of growing up together...and I know that we definitely have more to do. Nate will do anything to make me happy, and I love that about him. We have been talking so much lately about what we want our lives to be like and what we want to teach our kids; I know that Nate will do amazing at whatever he decides to pursue (being a Veterinarian would be AWESOME).
This picture of Lyla with her grand-dad is so sweet. It was taken while Lyla and I were still in the hospital. Lyla is Mike's (Nate's dad) first grand daughter, and I am so excited for all the fun they will have together. I am my grandfather's first granddaughter and I have always looked up to him and wanted to make him proud. Mike doesn't have any daughters, so I know he doesn't realize what he is in for...but he is the greatest grandfather and I am proud to call him my dad.
I love this picture of my sister Lindsay and I. She is SO BEAUTIFUL, and I love everything about her. Lindsay is independent, hilarious and the most loyal person you will ever meet. She is also the most trustworthy. I know I can tell her anything, and she is the only person on earth I can say that about (besides Nate, of course). I am so happy to be growing up with her...I know that we will only have more in common over the years, and that is certainly something to look forward to.
Finally, here is another picture of my Lyla Kate...I can't resist how incredibly sweet she is (it must come from her dad and grand-dad). She has had such a terrible cold lately, and I can't wait for her to feel better. But honestly, she still looks more adorable and gorgeous everyday...I can't even stand it!
So while I was working this afternoon Lyla pooped through her sleeper (as usual) and I was forced to spot clean it with Shout. While her clothes were drying, she was being hilarious in her car seat. She can laugh, smile, and can even make her famous "owl" noise. Nate and I wake up every morning to hear a sweet "Whooooo.....Whooooo......Whoooo" noise coming from her crib. Her daddy has so much fun with her...Lyla loves to hear him sing!
Well, we just celebrated our first Thanksgiving as a trio...and might I say it was a great day. Lyla has had a cold for the last few days, but she maintains her perfectly sweet temperament. We ate dinner at the Sylvia's, and then hung out by ourselves in the evening. I totally dig hanging out with Nate...we put on the Rent soundtrack and just sit at the table and talk. I must say that I am so thankful for everything I have in my life. Lyla is so beautiful and funny, and no matter how huge our trials may seem, I know that Nate and I will always pull through. He's my best friend, and you can do anything as long as your best friend is behind you. I am so excited to spend the holidays with Miss Lyla...things just seem so much more fun with a child in my life...or maybe I am just still a child myself. Either way, I hope it will be a fun season.
