Thanksgiving

Lila had a great Thanksgiving! She started the day on a nice walk with Mommy and Daddy. It was a little cold out, so we wore our pink bear hat. This one is SO much better than that black cat hat Mommy tried to get her to wear at Halloween.





Loved on Daddy





Then Grandma came over and played with Lila and Mr. Turkey.




Mmmm, he tastes good!





Then it was off to Great Grandma Marge and Great Grandpa Frank's house for Thanksgiving dinner. There were about 20 friends and family to see!

5 Months

I turned 5 months on November 10th!





I have started to try and sit up- look Mommy was helping me...



and then she let go! Woah! I am still learning how to balance.



Mommy says I am very curious. I don't know what that means but I know I like to look at catalogs! So many things to see!


My bounce-a-roo is so much fun!


Splash! I have a big time in the bath!


Being outside is still on of my favorite things and I love going on walks.

Happy Halloween!

Mommy, Daddy and Lila had a date to pick out pumpkins. Lila was checking herself out in the mirror, dressed for the occasion.






We each got a pumpkin, isn't her little one cute? We got one this size last year for her too when we just found out we were pregnant. The squirrels stole it off our porch and we found it half eaten in a bush! So this year, we kept baby pumpkin safe inside.



We didn't dress her up on Halloween, but we did try to put this black kitty hat on her. She was NOT enthused! We tried every trick in the book to get her to smile and she wasn't cracking one no matter what! She's sticking to her guns already...



Halloween day came...she was really interested in those pumpkin socks!



Happy First Halloween Lila!

4 months!

Lila Kate turned 4 months on October 10th! She had her four month check-up and showed off for her doctor how she had already achieved all of the developmental milestones they were checking for. Her doctor commented on how strong she is. She was in the 50th percentile for weight and 97th (!!) for height. She is a long little bean!

She has discovered those feet can be fun to eat:

Lila has a big time in her jumparoo!

Hanging out in her bumbo chair. She is starting to try and sit up on her own.

All ready for a fall walk around the neighborhood.

Hokie Baby

We took a long car ride down to Virginia Tech where Mommy and Daddy went to college. I do pretty well on the car rides, taking naps most of the time. Saturday morning I woke up and finally met my friend Juliet who I have been hearing so much about. She is about 7 weeks older than me and we had fun playing together with her Elmo and Tigger toys. I might need some of those of my own! Our Mommy's put us in Virginia Tech cheerleader outfits and then took us to our first tailgate. We met new friends and I saw some of my family there too. I wore my Virginia Tech tutu for a little while, it was all so exciting! Mommy was being funny and next thing I knew a laugh came out for the first time! She and Daddy seemed really excited about that. Daddy carried me in my Baby Bjorn to the game, everyone had on orange and maroon just like us! It was a little noisy so we only stayed a short time. I have a feeling there will be many more VT games in my future!
