With the convenience of Facebook and the fact that all my family and friends are on it, blogging got left out. I do read the blogs that I follow from time to time, so I haven’t completely been out of the loop. I’m going to use this post just to catch up a bit.</p> <p>Brock and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary in September. We went to Gatlinburg, TN in December to celebrate. We had to postpone it twice due to bad weather in the North East. Brock went to Baltimore in September and New Jersey in November with Alabama Power to help restore power. It was our first trip without taking the kids! It was much needed and we had a wonderful time. But what’s the one thing I forgot to pack? My camera, of course! I did take a few pictures with my phone, but it was nice to just enjoy ourselves and not worry about taking pictures of every single thing.</p> <p>Sawyer is 5 1/2 and is in Kindergarten! He enjoys school and is doing a job learning his sight words, writing and math. He just doesn’t quite enjoy reading that much yet, but I’m hoping that will come soon. He’s all boy and loves to “work” with his daddy on our farm. Santa brought a <em>real </em>4 wheeler and he loves it! He’s had a healthy year so far with very few asthma flare ups. We’ve been able to control it with albuterol when he does start to flare and have been oral steroid free so far! Last fall/winter was very hard asthma-wise. He was in K4 and had several bad flares and did 3 or 4 rounds of oral steroids. We’re very thankful and praying for continued health and that he’ll eventually outgrow the asthma.</p> <p>Riley is 2 1/2! She goes to daycare 4-6 days a month and enjoys it! She’s all girl and loves all things pink. She’s a talker and loves to sing. “God Our Father” (or “God Our Fadder” as she says) is sung at least twice during each meal :) She knows her colors (although she sometimes confuses red and yellow—red is yellow and yellow is red), can count to 10, and sing her ABCs. She got a Leap Frog ABC phonics refrigerator magnet that I hope will help with letter recognition and phonics. She enjoys playing with it and her favorite letters are D, J, R.  She’s had a healthy year with only 2 ear infections in the past year. </p> <p>We’re scheduled to go back to Boston in March for a full cleft clinic visit. We’ll meet with her plastic surgeon and have a dental, speech and hearing evaluation. We’re taking Sawyer with us this time and it will be his first time flying! I’m hoping we can have a little fun while we’re there, but it’s going to be a short trip. </p> <p>On a very sad note, my computer crashed last January! I lost thousands of pictures going back to when Sawyer was 2. I’m super thankful for this blog and Facebook, or I would have lost everything. Lesson learned: always back up your pictures!</p> <p>So here are some pictures from this past year (April 2011 until now)…</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1tkoqB_SMIo/TxBa8lMLhZI/AAAAAAAAAmA/-8kJ-JGo-WI/s1600-h/DSC_5825%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

It was my family, my brother's family, my mom and my aunt. We stayed at Splash, which was great because the pools and splash areas were partially or fully shaded. Riley wasn't too sure about the whole beach/splash area to start off with--she got scared right off the bat by the large splash area. It had a HUGE bucket of water that dumped and was pretty loud. By Day 2, she was enjoying herself, although she never really loved the beach. Sawyer loved every minute of it, from sliding down the water slides to learning how to swim to finding tons of shells on the beach. <br />

</div>Riley turned one on April 16th and we had her birthday party the following day. The weather was perfect so we had it outside. I chose a ladybug theme for her and it was adorable! She really got into her cake...so much so that we pulled out a metal tub and had an old-fashioned outdoor bath :) It's hard to believe it's been a year already. We are so thankful that God blessed us with her. She is a sweet, happy, loving baby and she adds so much love and fun to our family.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now for 12 things about Riley:</div><ul><li>She can say "Mama," "Dada," "byebye," "uhoh," "nana," (banana) and is trying to say Sawyer "Aw-er"</li>
<li> She's not walking yet, but is standing up more and more on her own and cruises everywhere</li>
<li>She's the fastest crawler I've ever seen</li>
<li>Riley is a great eater and loves fruits and veggies, especially bananas (she can eat at least 2 in one sitting)</li>
<li>She's got 9 teeth now</li>
<li>She loves playing with her brother, and he loves to help her walk by holding her hands</li>
<li>She signs "finished" and "more"</li>
<li>She gave up her bottle about a week before her birthday without any fuss</li>
<li>Riley gives the sweetest, sloppiest, open mouth kisses ever :)</li>
<li>At her 1 year check-up, she weighed 24lbs 1oz and was 31in long (3lbs more than Sawyer was at a year old)</li>
<li>She loves to play outside</li>
<li>We've been working on animal sounds, and so far she knows a monkey says "ah-ah-ah"</li>

Sawyer played his first t-ball game on Saturday. It was so much fun! Seeing them hit and run and try to catch the ball is so exciting. And they only tackled each other a few times :) I am guilty of being a bit of a paparazzo...I took 167 pictures! Here are just a few...well, a little more than a few...<br />

We started off our Easter celebration with an egg hunt a church. The children were read the Easter story before they had an egg hunt. Sawyer's allergies were acting up, so he didn't get <i>that</i> excited about the egg hunt. But Riley enjoyed playing with the egg she found.<br />

Then the Easter Bunny came and brought Sawyer a kite with spool, sunglasses, cowboy Silly Bandz and candy. Riley got a collection of hair bows, candy and a rubber ducky dressed like a lamb. <br />

After church, we had lunch at Brock's parents' house and then both kids (and Mama and Daddy too) took long naps. We finished out the weekend with a egg hunt at Brock's parents' house.<br />

Riley is 10 months old today! It's surreal that she's going to be one year old in just two short months. Here are a few new things she is up to:<br />
<span id="goog_1266350284441"></span><span id="goog_1266350284442"></span><br />
<ul><li>She's pulling up and cruising.</li>
<li>She's officially done with baby food--after tasting "real" food she decided she didn't want anymore bland, baby stuff!</li>
<li>She's doing great with her sippy cup and we have cut out one bottle already and have almost cut out a second one. </li>
<li>She's babbling a lot but no real words yet.</li>
<li>She waves bye-bye.</li>
<li>We went back to the pediatrician today to have her ears checked. No fluid today so tubes aren't in her immediate future.</li>

On Friday, February 12th, we had a rarity here in south Alabama...we had snow! And lots of it! We got 4+ inches and it was beautiful. Too bad Brock was a work (he's a lineman with Alabama Power) so it made getting many pictures a difficult task. But I did get some. You'll have to excuse our pitiful winter wear. Cause you see, we're not used to this kind of thing. I had to piece it together as best as I could! And too bad I had to work Saturday, so the kids and I drove and hour north to Montgomery to spend the night with my aunt. I work in Montgomery and didn't want to have to travel the icy roads at 6 am. Sawyer had a good time, although he wasn't interested in building a snowman (actually we did build one, but he just wanted to knock it down). Poor Riley lasted about 10 minutes and then she had had enough (but loved to look out the windows at all of the snow).<br />

We had a great time. Brock's mom was nice enough to come over and babysit Riley so we could go. I think it was the first time just the three of us have done something together since Riley was born. It was Sawyer's first bowling experience, as you can tell by the pictures, he had a blast! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Riley turned 9 months old on the 16th. She's growing up so fast! I don't remember time going by quite this fast with Sawyer. It'd hate to see how fast it goes <em>if</em> we have a third!<br />
<br />
Some things Riley has been up to:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>She has left backwards-only and crab crawling styles behind! She is now full steam ahead! And the heads straight for the totally not baby-proofed play room.</li>
</ul><br />

</div><ul><li>She is back to eating the full array of stage 2 baby foods. She is also eating some things from the table. But I think there is as much food in the high chair seat that ends up in her mouth. However, she is not that crazy about stage 3 dinners so far.</li>

Halloween was a family affair at our house this year. Heather (my sis-in-law) and my niece, Lilah, joined us for Trick or Treating. It was so much fun! Neither one of the girls had napped well, but they were troopers. They were the cutest cowboy, flower and pumpkin I've ever seen!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's so hard to believe that Riley is 6 months old already! She is growing and learning so much! At her six month check up last week, she weighed 19lbs 4oz and was 27.25 inches. So she's gained over 11lbs and grown over 7 inches since she was born!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><ul><li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Riley can sit for a couple of minutes without any support</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She <em>really</em> loves her Jumperoo...so much so that she rubbed a blister on her big toe</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She <em>really </em>loves baby food...so much so that she gained 3lbs in a month since she started</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Peas, sweet potatoes and bananas are her favorites</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Riley loves to splash in the tub</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She has her first tooth...her lower right tooth has broken through</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She's trying to hug...she grabs us really tight by our face, hair, clothes...whatever is in reach</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She's definitely got the high-pitched, top of her lungs girl sqeal down to a science</div></li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks to her recent spurt in weight gain, I'm afraid all of the cute winter clothes on bought on sale in the Spring won't last too long. The shirt she's wearing the picture up top is a 6-12 months and is definitely snug ;)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She is 8 weeks post-op and we've stopped steri-strips and started massage with Mederma. We'll also have to be deligent about applying sunscreen whenever she goes outside.<br />

</div>Sawyer is really loving his pony. Pop bought him a cowboy hat last week and Sawyer thinks it's the best! He was wearing it <em>galloping</em> around the house the other night. Everday when Brock gets home from work, Sawyer asks to go saddle up his horsie and ride. Then he explains to me (every time) how he needs to go put on his <em>big </em>blue jeans and boots "like this" (demonstrating to me) so he can go ride. <br />

It's going by SO fast! She's also 3 weeks post-op. The suture that was coming up through her skin dissolved on it's own and fell off today. Yay! Only 3 more weeks of arm restraints and steristrips. I'm honestly so tired of the restraints...I know they are required to help protect the awesome work that Dr. M did, but I'm ready for Riley to be able to be a regular baby. A baby that can play unrestricted, can put her hands in her mouth, can roll around on the floor. Dr. M is pleased with how her lip is healing. She does have a little puffiness under her nose and I'm hoping we can help reduce that by putting her steristrips on tighter. <br />
<br />
Here are 5 things about Riley:<br />
<ul><li>she <em>loves</em> to be naked and take baths--she's likes to splash around</li>
<li>she's laughing out loud and is very ticklish</li>
<li>she can roll over both ways, but not with the restraints on :(</li>
<li>she can sit up fairly well with little support</li>
<li>her favorite toys are her bouncy seat and overhead gym</li>
</ul>And one more thing...she loves to growl!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures I took today:<br />

Today is our 5 year anniversary! Brock and I were married at sunset on Makena Secret Surf Beach in Maui, Hawaii. We dated for 5 years before we got married. During that time we were in several weddings and decided that a big production was not for us. So to Maui we went! It was beautiful and was the trip of a lifetime! Now, if I could only convince Brock that we <em>have</em> to go back (he's not much of a traveler). <br />

Sawyer<span style="font-family: inherit;"> loves taking pictures with my camera. Usually I just delete them because they're typically really close-up pictures of the remote, couch cushion, toys, etc. The other night he had my old camera and managed to take a few decent pictures. I'll have to be sure to let Santa know that Sawyer might want his very own kid camera for Christmas.</span><br />

Her Logan's Bow fell off Saturday night thanks in part to tons of drool and Riley pulling on it every chance she could get when her restraints were off. Man, she's fast! I took the opportunity to take a few pictures after I changed her steristrip last night. Dr. M says that there are two "dots" on the right scar line that we need to keep an eye on. They are dissovable sutures that are just under the skin. I'm praying that they resolve on their own and we don't have to make any unscheduled trips to Boston! But we couldn't be more thrilled with Riley's result. And are so proud of her dimple!</div><br /><br /><div>Sawyer went to Lottie and Pop's (Brock's parents) house Saturday afternoon and came home with a pony! They took Sawyer to the local horse show and came back with this little prize. He was already named Little Joe, but Sawyer insists that his name is Joe Dexter (that's Brock's daddy's name). I think it's hilarious. I've suggested every name I can think of to change it to, but Sawyer wants him to be Joe Dexter.

Riley is doing great. Eating 5-6 ounces every 3 hours during the day and Tylenol is controlling her pain. She only woke up once last night (to eat) and I'm hoping she'll repeat that tonight. She's talking (cooing) and playing and trying to get her new smile figured out.

We will be there for 9 days for Riley's final lip repair. I'm dreading it so badly. I wasn't this anxious with her lip adhesion. I guess because it was a much shorter procedure and we were only gone for 5 days. I know that this has to be done and that it's what's best for Riley, but for some reason it's not making it any easier. The nurse in me is not nervous at all, but the mama in me is! Please join me in praying for safe travel, wisdom and a steady hand for Dr. Mulliken, and a quick and as painless as possible recovery for Riley.<br /><br />We went to my brother and sister-in-law's house yesterday to celebrate Adam's 25th birthday a few days early. His birthday is Tuesday (Riley's surgery date). It was great to be able to have time with our family and allow them to see Riley's "first face" one last time. My grandparents from Mississippi were here and they hadn't seen Riley since she was 2 weeks old and were amazed with how much she's grown.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAeU0_Jz_Xl6NDfCNO5DhKfOvLV-4ETR7sTddvMGDmq9AZEnQwmoqKY-76HAyyPdx7dt1xjmAfyJumsw0vE-JafMa1zZVqWhCUFD0ejr-GwSAWSPp-Mgt14a7rJ2fSdS4soI9dM8khXOQ/s1600-h/043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373131414369421474" style="DISPLAY: block;

Sawyer was 31.14 lbs and 37.25 inches and Riley was 15 lbs 2 oz and 25.25 inches. Wow! Riley has grown...a lot! She was in the 75% for all measurements. Just as a comparison, Sawyer was 16 lbs at 6 months. I'm glad Riley's on the chunky side, especially for her up coming lip reconstruction. I tried her with some baby rice cereal, but she's not ready--lots of bad faces and even some gagging. Sawyer wasn't ready either until around 5 months, so I'm just going to wait to try again after Riley's totally recovered.<br /><br /><br />I then took them to have portraits made on Friday. I cannot wait to see the proofs. The photographer said they should be up by this Friday. Later Friday afternoon, Riley rolled over from stomach to back. She is trying really hard to roll over from back to stomach, but can only manage to get on her side.<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br />before</div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiaLp0LUD_jSGkr6p-GFNnvdMhfBiVEgKixG9C1EUgMlcBlXrjS3HkXPWqc9PlX5mK9ySLY8pNVHw-SgkrJxOMMUy_NInS8tmfIztToaRwoQRywdw1IKEgYobjXYbBnl5mDW1AOoFTf0/s1600-h/025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370695655018078722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiaLp0LUD_jSGkr6p-GFNnvdMhfBiVEgKixG9C1EUgMlcBlXrjS3HkXPWqc9PlX5mK9ySLY8pNVHw-SgkrJxOMMUy_NInS8tmfIztToaRwoQRywdw1IKEgYobjXYbBnl5mDW1AOoFTf0/s320/025.JPG" border="0" /> </a></p><p align="center">mid-roll</p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghO4JAV2Utkk8bh34gIYos7Vxl5Ra9VGEzWItBaPrhYkIlPUXHrTWYs4Kymw750Sg-lCavWxyQd2YqlZaCagcIhSeoKjCkNdquesByEzF8erq0d2qW07hKZiG-y9FMfK3L0XOAlVVA5gc/s1600-h/026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370695631927181138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghO4JAV2Utkk8bh34gIYos7Vxl5Ra9VGEzWItBaPrhYkIlPUXHrTWYs4Kymw750Sg-lCavWxyQd2YqlZaCagcIhSeoKjCkNdquesByEzF8erq0d2qW07hKZiG-y9FMfK3L0XOAlVVA5gc/s320/026.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />tada!<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO3HyAvYVlZVYoEM06vLNaWV-cOI3UpfUkF4n2e2JL2EkLq2-rFDxNvVQh2J4qsdCcEpKaUeB3rtH12G0kGDMMGhn071-B3Un74MBkmorYPKfv2G2_j_rKaWzJCiFaa2rjK6GX3ee66dc/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370695620694722370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO3HyAvYVlZVYoEM06vLNaWV-cOI3UpfUkF4n2e2JL2EkLq2-rFDxNvVQh2J4qsdCcEpKaUeB3rtH12G0kGDMMGhn071-B3Un74MBkmorYPKfv2G2_j_rKaWzJCiFaa2rjK6GX3ee66dc/s320/027.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><br /><br /><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiq4r0pRV6E8Dl_C_XDT87zu_deL1Iuz3iJWGylk6SJv08crItDis0aJVPDu12MIGYNnjKGIcGEIbqhKh6_axZAL6m2FxC3VDtBNW_5o9AI71jdFKTp58Haff6EX33ucFQCmk1X-kBpN8/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370695664875165586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiq4r0pRV6E8Dl_C_XDT87zu_deL1Iuz3iJWGylk6SJv08crItDis0aJVPDu12MIGYNnjKGIcGEIbqhKh6_axZAL6m2FxC3VDtBNW_5o9AI71jdFKTp58Haff6EX33ucFQCmk1X-kBpN8/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><p>I just love this face!

But I know she is in great hands (God's and Dr. M's) and that she will be beautiful.<br /></p>Nolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810320393827535743noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089285190869167601.post-54721344005166803822009-08-08T09:00:00.000-07:002009-08-08T10:02:13.685-07:00Lilah<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIX0C8lT0yco4oouWiTiI981E49bm43Wr9oUlBg3N-TmQyyRGMd58Mghd1QaMKcqngAWeuZ_uuHddYeAwgj7Op8RGLUJQeDkbAcxuaDrlz3RgUx8NO9_BhsYep7s2vCqr6lsOnpBO-Rs/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367626864005131234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIX0C8lT0yco4oouWiTiI981E49bm43Wr9oUlBg3N-TmQyyRGMd58Mghd1QaMKcqngAWeuZ_uuHddYeAwgj7Op8RGLUJQeDkbAcxuaDrlz3RgUx8NO9_BhsYep7s2vCqr6lsOnpBO-Rs/s320/015.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeAsdILh9IIU45XJ7vvDSw-VtcWp0AVlBdiKqtTza9DHfFxTrboYwCcK_McazV8avbWcDUCy6YBYm6VQuXBGt4bwdEK2KmWED1DPxLDtwvwfbK09goalgGGOl2rZk2mpPBTXXdhT8srU/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367626860180459970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeAsdILh9IIU45XJ7vvDSw-VtcWp0AVlBdiKqtTza9DHfFxTrboYwCcK_McazV8avbWcDUCy6YBYm6VQuXBGt4bwdEK2KmWED1DPxLDtwvwfbK09goalgGGOl2rZk2mpPBTXXdhT8srU/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /></a> My, how fast they grow!<br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-9z13W77bzgRT88mnEU4eM3PAVar4Y9LbYSmzmonijnNx7ME8HjY8leqCcfAY6veKRfyb2HgvIeWriYARdxvGg5xFtLngmvtab849Cew0mMVI7TbqMnkyCd-IPDWaHyYklZXyP72Czs/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367626856724918018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-9z13W77bzgRT88mnEU4eM3PAVar4Y9LbYSmzmonijnNx7ME8HjY8leqCcfAY6veKRfyb2HgvIeWriYARdxvGg5xFtLngmvtab849Cew0mMVI7TbqMnkyCd-IPDWaHyYklZXyP72Czs/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3JZDFtrkroEOzKeanC2NU732dOngH7KcpV5iRIAiPTTyZLRgd-qtiAvar_BJEbNrWfoLUCSswOsvpw3MdkYUswymOBSN4Sfyqj4DEcLpKz9BfZHqupL1h7BZV-GNudSWvsLpl2h833U/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367626845064412418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3JZDFtrkroEOzKeanC2NU732dOngH7KcpV5iRIAiPTTyZLRgd-qtiAvar_BJEbNrWfoLUCSswOsvpw3MdkYUswymOBSN4Sfyqj4DEcLpKz9BfZHqupL1h7BZV-GNudSWvsLpl2h833U/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a> sleeping beauties<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Xy41u_LV1EKml7ktrfjn2f5FHO-349-rOwo_uKU8A0CMLSkdUqTKcK4W_ST2XgBg5s_Cpp3NeoPHdnDWZhuZ-4SjLLtiytEHJc-v54_U4CV_UBFSnjbDV5mNCTSsSX3F6ox7cMxVkbg/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367626842408254786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Xy41u_LV1EKml7ktrfjn2f5FHO-349-rOwo_uKU8A0CMLSkdUqTKcK4W_ST2XgBg5s_Cpp3NeoPHdnDWZhuZ-4SjLLtiytEHJc-v54_U4CV_UBFSnjbDV5mNCTSsSX3F6ox7cMxVkbg/s320/005.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>My brother, Adam, and his wife, Heather, welcomed Lilah Faye on July 27. Lilah weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 20 inches long. She is beautiful and we're so happy to have her in our family! I'm also thankful that Riley will have a cousin the same age. We went to visit with them on Wednesday. It's so funny so see Lilah and Riley side-by-side. It's hard to remember that Riley was that little just 3.5 months ago! Lilah was a little jaundiced and spent a few days under lights...hence her little "tan" is a stark contrast to Riley's snow white skin! Sawyer is in love with Lilah too and wanted to take her home with us.</div></div><br /></div>Nolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810320393827535743noreply@blogger.com4
