The most beautiful girl

Man, we made one cute baby!See!!

Sunday is laundry day

and everything-else-I-should-have-accomplished-earlier-in-the-
week-but-was-WAY-too-busy day.

In the midst of nursing, breakfast, nursing, errands, nursing, grocery shopping, nursing, a little bit of work, nursing, dinner at the parents, and more nursing, I didn't find the time to download the pictures that I should have downloaded for the last 3 weeks. So, now that my husband, baby, and dog are asleep, I will turn on a good movie (happens to be Calendar Girls tonight) and download a few pictures.

Here are a few pictures from our time spent with the 5 generations:


The oldest and the youngest, playing













Here are the 5 generations
Patty, Sue
Maggie, Jilly and Lilah













Lilah LOVED to watch Great-Great Grandma Maggie play the piano. A future pianist? We will see!

















Here are some from our travels in Washington and Oregon:


Here is happy Lilah on yet another hotel bed. She slept like a dream! We have Great-Grandma Kennedy to thank for that since we brought along the pack and play bed she got Lilah. She slept better than us all!










Here is a blurry picture of the Seymour clan
From Left to Right (in an arc)
Cousin Matt, Zack, Will and sleeping Lilah, mom, Aunt Shirlee, Uncle Danny (standing) and dad. We were all listening to a funny story Ron was telling us :o)









This was the shot from the Wine Bar, the Horseradish. Wine from vineyards in Oregon, delicious cheese and incredible music. Lilah enjoyed it, especially when the vocalist sang to her! I wish I was able to take a picture of that!










Driving, driving and more driving! The best seat in the car was right behind Lilah!













Mom and Grandma Sue playing with Lilah in the hot summer sun. Lilah did better than I thought she would in the heat.












Well, I will post more. Lilah is just now enjoying baths, and sucking on her toes! Too cute!

Farts and other bodily functions...

Will is just happy to be able to blame his "bodily functions" on more than the dog. But, sometimes it really is Lilah.

As a new mom, I find it interesting that I am no longer grossed out by quite a few things... and usually end up being able to identify things that are going on with Lilah by the smell of her, well, her poopies. Also, I don't really care if I have make-up on until I realize that I actually forgot it, and forget about changing shirts and looking in the mirror for more than 3 seconds before I head out the door. I got home tonight after a quick run to do errands (sans Lilah) and realized that, not only did I have spaghetti sauce on my shirt, but I also had it on my FACE! Oh well, at least I didn't run into anyone I know.

Lilah has found her voice in the last week, and now when I go to pick her up because I think she is fussy, she really is just talking to herself. She has learned to roll over and does it all of the time. She knows that she can move her legs, but hasn't gotten the arm-leg connection and that it can get her places. Sheesh! She is just growing so fast! She also decided that she doesn't like to lay in her bed and have room, she likes to lay in her bed so her head and feet are touching the sides, holding her rabbit, her burp rag, AND her blanket. Lilah has also shown me that she is a musician... I know, but she was singing to the Eagles in the car the other day, and every morning since then. Again, she has found her voice.

Will has been busy trying to keep busy, and I have been just plain busy. D'Ette has been a Godsend - and really, I am glad she told me I could bring Lilah to work, because I am not so sure I would actually want to work if I had to take her to day care. Work has been great though, and I really love working from home, running errands, and especially doing home inspections!

The weather has been cold and dreary, but I caught myself today listening to the song "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry and thought... "It isn't snowy, it isn't freezing. There are leaves on the trees, grass in the yard, and cotton in the air." That made me happy :o)

Now, I am off to wash the spaghetti sauce off my face. I wonder how far I will make it before I think to do something else...

Well..

I couldn't help myself. I love to read other people's blogs, and I thought this would be a good way for others to see Lilah grow!

So, here is to my little growing Lilah!
