Abandoned Baby

I feel like we've been go go go lately, I guess that's summer though.

Kirk and I went on a mini vacay to Las Vegas

 with some friends over the weekend.

We played at the pool, ate yummy food,

walked the strip until our feet almost fell off,

and gambled away our hard earned money.

kidding, we won big of course....

We had a blast, it was a much needed getaway,

but we definitely missed our Lyla girl.

When we arrived home the reaction from Lyla was priceless,

brought tears to her mom and dad's eyes. (really)

Her typical spaz-self was kicked into overdrive and

 she made some new squeals and giggles that we never heard before.

I'm glad she missed us as much as we missed her.

I was worried she would too much fun with

the grandparents and forget all about her ma and pa. 

 We were greeted with a surprise after our trip....uncle Jake! Yeah! 

Long Week

Losing someone you love is tough.

It's a long, bumpy road that I have never traveled down before.

My mind is frazzled, so I don't have much to blog about,

 except to say that I was reminded this week of how precious life is.

 I cherish every single moment I have with my Lyla.

It breaks my heart to know that my best friend will no longer get to  

experience the amazing gift of watching my sweet girl

learn about the world and grow into a beautiful person.

miss crabby pants.

 "Mom, I just love this toy. What flavor is it?"

 I was desperately attempting to squeeze Lyla into her 3 month pajamas.

I managed to zip them up, but was quickly sent back to the bedroom by Kirk,

 who did not approve of her toes being squished at the bottom.

So, the 3 month pajamas went into the reject pile and I put these on her instead.

These pajamas are size 6 months.

6 months people! ahh!!

 Soo, in good nature----

I say, if you (Kirk) make fun of me putting our child in too small jammie,

and if you (Lyla) don't stop growing like a weed,

 I take yo' picture in yo' sleep.

 my angel.

And lastly, so so so very close to crawling.

She is so determined, it cracks me up!
