The Holidays

It's been too long since I had posted. Life has been crazy and I really need to stay up on it. It's hard since I have an iPhone now, I just use that instead of the laptop, so I never get out the laptop to blog. But I have some time now! We got a bunch of snow last night so Chris is out pushing snow and Lyla is taking a nap.

Speaking of naps, we are going through a little bit of a sleep regression right now. She used too sleep so good! But the past week or so, it takes forever to get her to go down, she only sleeps about half the time she used to or not at all! Some days she goes all day without napping. I don't know how she does it! So then at night she doesn't sleep well, and she is always up by 6am. Ugh. I hope it passes quickly and she goes back to her sleep loving self. :)

Lyla is now 4 1/2 months old! She is growing way too fast. She is happy about 90% of the time. She loves her exercauser, she is getting more used to the car (we have had many quiet car rides lately~ Yay!). She loves to laugh and move all around. If she is awake, she is moving! She hates to just sit still. :) A couple nights ago, she even started rolling over! I laid her on the living room floor and she was all over the place! I tried to get a video, but every time I would she would stop. So one day soon I will get one and post.

Lyla weighs 13lbs 10oz now, and makes me laugh every single day. I just love her!

I can't believe Christmas is next week! It has come so fast. Life is just flying by. Thanksgiving was nice. We went to Esther and Jared's house. Sarah and Steven came into town. We ate a bunch of yummy food, took a nap, and watched Man of Steel. I also went and saw Hunger Games TWICE! Haha I went with Esther and Sarah a couple days before Thanksgiving, and then Chris and I went with Stephanie and Lyndon a couple days after when they came into town. It was so good! I  loved it.

We got family pictures done while everyone was home together. It was a chilly day but Lyla did pretty well!

The Christmas tree is up. I am finished with my shopping (which is amazing since I usually still have some shopping to do on Christmas Eve! :), I made some cute stockings this year which I am pretty proud of myself for doing.

 

We had our ward Christmas party last weekend which Chris and I got to help plan, and Lyla got to meet Santa! :) I was surprised how well she did! It was a nice party. Yummy food and good company.
