Swim practice

Lyla kicked, splashed, and got dunked at swim practice. Next time she'll learn the 400 meter butterfly.

The point of no return

Lyla is crawling and pulling up now so we spend a lot more time on the floor. I'm not a big fan of shag carpet but I am reconsidering because it is easier on the knees.

I know the remote is around here somewhere...


Uncle Marc getting pushed around. Typical.

Lyla and me

Mirror mirror on the floor

Lyla has clearly crossed the boundary into the mirror's personal space.

Crib, schmib

Luckily I was walking into the room when I saw this happening...no babies fell out of their cribs during the taking of these photos. Needless to say we lowered Lyla's crib so she can't get out. Just like jail.

Leg lifts

Thank you to Aunt Trish for the cool blanket. It's Lyla's favorite. If you look at it at the right angle it actually appears to be 3-D. Here she is playing with her tent on the blanket and doing her leg exercises.

Palmetto Pride

Lyla logged 10 hours in the car on the way to South Carolina to visit Aunt Tracy and Uncle Jonathan. She didn't take her turn driving but kept us alert on the way back by telling us all about her trip in her outside voice.

Baptism in Medina

More photos from our trip to Medina for Lyla's baptism.

Please note the high quality State Farm bib.
