6 Month Lyla

Oh man.

We've been on vacation, dealt with a nasty stomach bug, celebrated an anniversary and I am having the hardest time getting back into the swing of things!

But since little Lyla is almost SEVEN months I thought I'd better give an update on her being 6 months.

At 6 months Lyla is army crawling like crazy, but has yet to master sitting up. She's over just sitting in her bouncer and watching what Eva and I do, she wants to be in the middle of it! I'll get Eva playing nicely by herself and then I hear her screaming "Lou Lou! No! Stop! That's mine! MOM! LYLA'S BEING NAUGHTY!"

I have a hard time imagining that face being naughty. :) At 6 1/2 months her first tooth has made an appearance, which made momma cry since her baby is getting so big. She loves other babies and blowing raspberries. We love her constant laughter and happy disposition.

Vacation Part 1

Living far away from family STINKS. I miss them :(

But it's so much fun when we do get to see them.

We started out our vacation in New Mexico for a few days and then headed on over to Colorado. Here's some of the pictures of our adventures in New Mexico. I love it there. The first thing I do when we get to the dirt road that leads up the canyon to my grandparents place is insist that the windows be rolled down and the music shut off. I LOVE how it smells!

Sorry about the gazillion photos. I really should figure out how to do a collage, but I'm too lazy to be technologically savvy.

Eva and Jared playing on the bulldozer. This is Jared's favorite thing to do there.

Takin' a spin around the pond

Somehow all the kids ended up in our car watching a Barbie movie one morning. It was pretty nice! We just kept passing food and drinks in through the windows and everyone was happy.

The alpacas were a big hit with Eva. I was explaining to her on the way there that alpacas don't have any top teeth so they can't bite you. That night at dinner my brother-in-law asked me if Eva had something wrong with her teeth because she was chewing weird. When I asked her about it she said, "I'm an alpaca!" Well...that explains it.

There was a dog running around with one of those cones around it's neck. Eva had recently seen UP so she starts giggling, "MOM! Look! Dog wears cone of shame!"
