October

There are few certainties in life. One thing that you can be certain of is that my blog will always run behind! :) Try as much as I want and have the best intentions in the world, but there is just never enough time to get to everything. However, that does mean that you can gather lots of information in one easy read! (Bright Side!) :)

The first big thing in October was the Race for the Cure! With a very well put together outfit, thanks to Aunt Susan and Grammy Pam, Lela was the star of the show!

The tutu was a gift from Aunt Susan who always buys us the cutest outfits! The shirt and hat were handmade by Grammy Pam! She loved watching the people and we had a great time! Seeing that little smile lights up my whole world!

Second big event in October was that our baby turned 9 months old!

At 9 months Lela is crawling and pulling up. Favorite words are still dada and nene! She has learned out to throw a temper tantrum and will bury her face in the carpet if you take away something she wanted to play with. She likes mac and cheese, chicken noodle, and all veggie baby foods. She loves puffs and veggie sticks! We had to bribe her with a veggie stick to even get her still enough to take this picture! She just got her first flu shot and got tubes put in her ears. She is happy all the time! She CAN sleep through the night, but most of the time chooses not too! She has some separation issues at night time! She is the most beautiful wonderful gift of my life! I love this little girl like my life depends on it!

The third and final event in October was HALLOWEEN! Our very FIRST HALLOWEEN! Lela was a flower and it was PRECIOUS!

She was not sure what to think about the costume at first but it grew on her! We went around and saw her Nene and Annie (two of her most favorite people in the world), her Pappy, and her Mammy! Everyone gave the baby some candy (except pappy he gave her baby food! :) ) Since Lela doesn't have teeth for candy just yet, it looks like me and daddy have our work cut out for us!

I absolutely love seeing these two together! I loved Byron very much before Lela was born, but every time I see them together my love for him and the daddy he has become is more than I can bear! This is the perfect family that I always dreamed of :)! And I am thankful for every minute of it!
