Lila had lots and lots of family in town for the weekend, including two grandmas, a great grandma, a second cousin, and her great aunt and uncle. Lila was baptized today and we were so lucky to have so many people in town to share in the special day.
Here's Lila with her Grandma W last night at dinner. She was the life of the party!
Lila surprised everyone by not crying during her baptism this morning. She's not always a big fan of water on her head. Thankfully the water in the font is nice and warm, so I think that helped. I love this picture.
Here's Lila with her mom, dad, and her wonderful Godparents, Mark and Alex.
Look at this cutie pie with her Grandma Z. I love her wet baptism hair. :)
Lila is fortunate to have four living great grandparents - eight if you count her step great grandparents. One of Lila's great grandmas was able to visit for the baptism, so we took a four generation picture! This is Lila with me, my mom, and my mom's mom.
Here's Lila with two of her grandmas. There was a lot of Grandma love for Lila this weekend! So much love in fact, that it wore her out. Midway through taking pictures, Lila fell sound asleep. It was so funny! One minute, awake... next minute, droopy, then bam! Asleep. Unfortunately the sleepy didn't last long. With all of the excitement today, Lila was so wound up that she barely napped and bedtime took over three hours. Yee haw.
And lastly, Lila with Mom and Dad. See the little onesie she's wearing? That was the very first piece of clothing ever purchased for little Lila, before we even knew we were expecting a little girl. I remember shopping with my mom and picking it out. We bought the 6 month size and at the time I could hardly imagine our baby ever being big enough to fit in it.
Lila turned four months old on Monday! Monday was also our anniversary, so it was quite a day for celebrating around here. I apologize for not writing an entry as promised, but things were a little crazy at our house.
Unfortunately, Lila was not feeling well at all. She came down with another cold - or the second giant whollop of her first cold - I'm not sure which. Monday night we all got about 3 hours of sleep and early Tuesday we landed in the doctor's office with a screaming baby who had not slept in 10+ hours. It turns out that Lila had sore little ears. Poor baby was absolutely miserable. On top of everything, it was humid and in the 90's on Tuesday. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Needless to say, our little four month old had had better days. Thankfully, save for some congestion, she is feeling much better now. Knock on wood! This sick thing is getting O-L-D for all involved.
On her four month birthday, our baby girl rolled over! She rolled from her back to her side, something she does quite often, and then she chillaxed on her side for quite a while. Suddenly she suprised everyone - herself included - and rolled onto her stomach! Once on her stomach she was none too pleased. She hates being on her stomach. We were so amazed and proud that we kept her on her tummy for a bit to see if she'd roll back over onto her back. No dice, but wow! I was not expecting that. She's been flinging her legs to the side for quite a while now, but I didn't think she was anywhere near rolling over. She's yet to do it again, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been putting her down and encouraging her. :)
Lila's other new trick is growling. It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. She'll get a really serious look on her face, lean over, and then let out a big, "errrrr!" We've been trying to tape the growl, but so far the little growler has been camera shy. She did put on a few cute growling performances for her visitors this weekend, though.
Well, since the little growler took so long to go to bed tonight, I should probably head to bed. Who knows when she'll be awake next. Last night she slept from 9:30 pm - 6:30 am, which was heavenly for me. Maybe she's tired enough for a repeat performance tonight? Cross your fingers.
