Back to a Routine

Thankfully, we are getting back in a routine now that school is back in session.  While we soooooo appreciate all the help we had and days off we had during the summer, Lila was just all out of sorts, never knowing where she was going the next day.  Going back to full time at daycare and been amazing.

In less than a month my baby will be turning 2 years old.  How is it even possible that two years have had a chance to pass.  It's insane.  I know people tell you have fast it goes, but WOW...it really does.

She has started a ritual where now every day she has to ask me who all is coming to her birthday.  She will say, "Daddy come to birfday me?".  "Yes Daddy is coming to a birthday for you.".  This goes on and on until she can no longer think of any family members or friends.  Sometimes this happens more than once a day. :)

Lila is having an owl themed birthday party this year.  I picked it out.  Everyone said I better pick this year because from here on out she will want to pick.  So I went with owls.  Once I got everything ordered, I got excited about it all.  She woke up the very next morning looked straight in my eyes and the first words out of her mouth were "Mommy, I like a monkey birfday".  Seriously?  I can't win.  Needless to say we're sticking with the owls.  I'm hoping she doesn't tell everyone at her birthday party that she wanted a monkey birfday.  :)

Lila Jane has also learned the infamous "Big Dogs" cheer.  Our mascot is the Bulldogs and my brother plays football.  She goes and gets her pom poms and says the whole cheer.  Poor daddy.  He made the comment the other day that he wants her to play sports.  LOL  I think we still have time before she makes that decision. :)

We are ready for more football on Friday night!

Vaca Pics

As promised, here are a few pics from our family vacation!

Florida

Today is our last day at the beach.  It has been the best week anyone could ask for.  The first day we got here and it started raining immediately.  The second day, it rained ALL DAY!  We were scared when the forecast said storms everyday this week.  Thankfully, just like our meteorologists at home, the ones here are wrong all the time too.  :)  There were a couple hours every day that the clouds took over, but the rest of the day was great.  Lila took to the beach quite after the first few hours of being pretty unhappy with the way the sad stuck to every part of her body.

I'm planning on posting a few of our pictures once I get home and get them organized on the computer.  Stay tuned for some awesome pics of our first vaca with Lila.
