5 things I love about today

1. Napping in bed with Lyla---I know it's a bad habit, but she's so snuggly!

2. Sunlight---tomorrow is March 1st and I can't wait for spring.

3. My husband--he's been working hard to get us back on our feet, and I adore him for letting me talk about future kids and actually being open to growing our little family.

4. A 3 day weekend with Nate and Lyla....

5. Feeling like things may actually be ok!

Cute Cousins!

My sister-in-law Ashley and I got together and had pictures of Dallin and Lyla taken. I've had them back for a little while, and thought I should post a couple of my favorites. Dallin is such a doll, and I love that the cousins are so cute together!

Old Lady!

Lyla totally looks like an old lady in this picture! She has been sucking in her bottom lip because she is teething...and Nate and I think it's hilarious. What a doll...I can't believe she's already 6 1/2 months!

Corn on the Cob

So Nate thinks it's pretty funny to play "corn on the cob" with Dallin. Too bad Nate's arms are so hairy that he doesn't like to return the favor. Boy do we love being auntie and uncle!

Random, fun times....

Ok---how cute is this picture? Not only is my husband totally hot, but Lyla is so sweet sleeping with her little legs crossed. Bless her heart!
So here is the cutest picture of Dallin and Lyla after taking a quick bath together at the Sylvia's---what adorable cousins!



Lyla sure loves her high chair! She is doing really great at eating her rice cereal---she even eats some sweet potatoes when she's in the mood!
Lyla and I were being dorks up in Park City. I had to nurse before going to dinner with my family, so Nate and I stopped at Olympic Park to watch the ski jumpers. They are insane! I couldn't believe how awesome they were--and apparently neither could Lyla.

Laughing Lyla

So Lyla thought Aunt Ashley was pretty funny tonight...she must have had a booger hanging out of her nose or something. Check it out!

All Grown Up....

I did it...I finally put Lyla in her crib for her first night alone. It may be the late hour, but I am totally sad right now. While I have wanted her to be in her own room for a little while now, I have hopelessly clung to having her by my side all night. She's such a wonderful baby, and I just hate that she has to grow up so fast. I have loved being by her side all the time, but I know I need to start teaching her to be independent too. I will definitely be there in the morning to greet her! I miss her already!
