Southwest Florida Choppers

Lyla got her first two teeth last week, on the bottom. Brushing is going okay but she never wants to floss.

Nummy nummy toes in my tummy

For Lyla, everything is worth at least one taste. Surprisingly, toes, teddy bear ears and the straps on the high chair taste better than green beans.

Here comes Peter Cottontail

The Easter Bunny came to the mall so Lyla wanted to go. I always thought rabbits had pretty good eyesight so I must admit I was a little surprised that he wore glasses. Lyla slept through Santa Claus but was wide awake for Peter.

Hold on!

I'm bringing roller derby back

That's how I roll

So now Lyla is a pro at rolling over, both ways, like she's been doing it forever. It's almost like she knew how to do it before, she just never felt like it. She also has been spending time in her exersaucer, which has buttons that make animal sounds and says their names in English and in Spanish. Lion is lion in Spanish, too.

My three friends

Lyla's three best friends are Ah-GOO, AH-guh-doo, and Gah. They are somewhat imaginary and fairly invisible, but we hear stories about their adventures every day.
















Overnight lows in the (gasp!) upper 30's!




















Super Bowl weekend...the first NFL weekend since 1998 that we knew the Browns wouldn't lose.
