Nyla

11 weeks old

Yep! That is a pic of our baby girl! She is growing up! Too fast for me...I am trying to keep up! D and I are just so blessed to have her in our life. D said that he gets goose bumps still when he thinks about having a child...it is amazing! I enjoy coming home from work and receiving that toothless grin...it just makes my day. Nyla found her hands and last week she found her feet...it is funny how they look at things with pure amazement. She likes to "talk",squeal, and watch tv...yes! she is a tv watcher (maybe that is a result of me watching a fair amount of tv towards the end of my pregnancy since I couldn't stand on my feet for long periods of time) 12 weeks old

I have been back to work almost a month now and I am getting adjusted. I still feel bad leaving her... it is like my heart breaks a little, but I am adjusting I think. She is definitely in good hands...we are thankful for my mom. She is sooo good with her!


These past few weeks have been busy (that is why the blog is 3 weeks behind)...seemed like October came and went. D and I had spoke a while ago about getting Nyla a costume for Halloween...well by the time the conversation came back up it was the Friday before Oct 31st...D picked up Nyla a costume. He told me over the phone that it was a spider costume...a spider! I really did not for see my sweet girl as a spider...I don't like spiders myself...I had imagined her to be a pumpkin (because of her round face) or a lady bug (that just seems feminine), but I had to trust Daddy D. The spider costume turned out to be cute! The only problem was that the headpiece was too big. It looked like a helmet on her small head =) I had to pick up some things for the house so I had hoped that I could find her something to wear (we were literally at the ninth hr)...in the back of my mind I knew that all the costumes would be gone and picked over, but hey I thought I would give it a try. I walked around Target for awhile and had just about given up when I made one more circle around and there it was...a lady bug costume for an infant! God heard my request =) It was the only one all by itself!
Nyla did not understand what was going on when we put the costume on her...I am sure when she gets older she will look at these pics and wonder what her parents were thinking =) She looked so cute though! We took her to our neighbors house just so someone else could see her. After about 30 minutes she was over the whole costume thing and was ready for sleep...she did indulge mom and dad and let us take 20-30 pics!
