our weekend

This weekend was definitely one of my favorites in a while. There was a ton of family time, movie time and then a whole lot of baby time. Of course. There was even a lot of fussiness mixed in with the giggles and cookouts but that didn't stop us from enjoying every second of it...even if we did have a screaming baby.

Laila went swimming in a big pool for the first time. Poor girl wasn't to sure about this big scary and semi cold place so she would try to crawl up her daddy.

She eventually warmed up when the kids gave her some toys to play with and as long as she was moving, she was content.

It was a great time and after swimming we cooled down with some delicious gold fish...she loves those things.

baby feet are just adorable!

I love weekends like these. They remind me what's important and family gatherings give me a great excuse to pig out. Lets just say I ate too much ice cream cake and chocolate eclair cake. But since then I've been working my butt off with P90X and Jillian Michaels.

Our 4th of July and Life Lately

Hey!

July 4th has come and gone {and so has my 3 day weekend} and I hope everyone had a great break. Our 4th consisted of a neighborhood cookout/bonfire with some to-die-for beef tenderloin, beans, and baked potatoes. I didn't take any pictures of the food, probably because it all disappeared in a couple minutes. Ah, it was soooo good. I probably gained 5 pounds.

The weather cooperated and Laila got to use her pool with water for the first time, and boy, did she enjoy it. She's such a water baby!

{I wasn't brave enough to take my fancy camera near water}

It was so nice to just sit outside, eat, relax and chit chat. We all had a great time and luckily myself and Laila did not get burnt.

{the dress she is wearing is size 0-3 months..ya, she's a peanut!}

Did I mention she is 7 months old, yup. And this is what she has been doing lately.

Crawling! This lady is on the go and I find myself having a hard time keeping up. One second she is right next to me and all of the sudden she is one the other side of the room!

She's also been pulling herself up on everything. The laundry basket, coffee table, entertainment center, her swing and jumperoo and the best one...our legs!

It's time for us to do some serious baby proofing around our house. *Breath*
