Zwieback in black

Who is more excited in this picture? Grandpop Shutie, Lyla, or the guy on TV?

Sometimes the best part of a purse is the strap.

Aunt Tracy came in town and lots of Boggle was played. If you haven't played
in a while, give it another try. You may have forgotten how fun it is.

In this puzzle I found the following: lot, oat, cat, clot, tax, act, coat, canal, tin, nit, van, talc, coal, gnat, clan, tilt, and lax.

Ready for my photo shoot

Me and Grandmom

9 months old

Lyla turned 9 months old on the 20th...her two front teeth are on the way so it looks like Christmas is coming early.

Lyla's friend Sydney and her mom Aunt Nicole.

















The straps on the high chair are no match.




















Thanks Uncle Tony and Aunt Mel for my cool outfit!
















It's in here somewhere!

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.
