24 Weeks

Little Miss Lila was 24 weeks old Saturday! It is unbelievable how fast the time has gone! She is really a character, she is constantly babbling and telling stories, smiling, laughing and is getting stronger and stronger by the day. She has a great personality and is such a happy little girl.

She has really taken a big interest in the dogs. Whenever they come over to her she reaches her hand out to pet them and really thinks it is a hoot when they lick her hands. She loves reading books, playing peek-a-boo and singing songs. She is so vigorous when it comes to shaking her rattle that she is learning that it hurts pretty bad when she clunks herself in the head with it! Absolutely everything goes in her mouth...it will be interesting to see if she has a tooth poke through in the near future, so far I can't feel anything.

This weekend was my turn to go out of town. I am involved in Leadership for Five Seasons, a group in town that is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. The 35 of us in the program headed to Galena for a two day retreat. Our retreat was at Eagle Ridge where Mike and I got married, I have to admit it was weird being there without him, but the group had a really good time and I learned a lot about my peers and a lot about myself over the course of the two days. It was hard to be away from Lila, but I knew she was in the safest hands possible with her Dad. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful husband who is so hands on and so supportive of me, it really makes life so much easier knowing I have a true partner. Life is good!
