Home sweet home

Lyric and I just had an eventful evening. While we supposed to be leaving to go to the first football game of the year, we spent an hour driving around searching for our three dogs that got out. For anyone who has lost a dog, trying to find one is challenge...add 2 more and you've got a feat!! I eventually find Molly and Sweet Girl together and we continued to drive around searching for Dotti. I stopped by the house to drop off the 2 girls and Lyric and I hit the streets again. Sadly, we returned home without Dotti and to my surprise, we go to the backyard and find ALL 3!! I guess Dotti found her way home before I locked up her babies.

Needless to say, we passed on tonight's game and we look forward to next week's. At least I have a week to order the cute hippo onesies from amazon. Go Hippos!!

...and welcome home: Dotti, Miss Molly, and Sweet Girl

Toy store

OH MY GOSH!! I had THE BEST time trying to find a gift for the birthday boy. Lyric was so patient with me and enjoyed every minute...I honestly spent an HOUR browsing the toy aisles at Target. I found myself throwing things in the cart that I want Lyric to have so I had to regroup - put items back on the shelf - and remind myself that I was there for someone else's baby. Who knew they had a sock monkey jack-in-the box?!

Yay, the weekend!

Horray! We made it through our first week of school and she's so happy to be with her friends again. Tomorrow we are going to her friend's first birthday party - hawaiian theme - so I'll be sure to post pictures afterwards.

Gami and Aunt Rainnie came to visit on Tuesday and Wednesday and it was great to see them. The first hour they were here, Lyric couldn't take her eyes off of Rainnie...I think she knows her Aunt Rainnie is going to give her a baby cousin in January!!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Back to daycare

Today was Lyric's first day back to school after summer break with Dad and, naturally, they said she was awesome!! :) She was exhausted when she came home and was falling asleep as I was feeding her cereal and veggies. We put her to sleep around 8 so I'm anxious to see if she'll keep up her 11 hours of sleep at night after a big day with her friends.

7 month photos


She loves her Sophie!


1st teething bicuit











New this week: She LOVES electronics * We can see 3 of her top teeth coming in, so that'll make 5 total * She has tried (and likes) teething biscuits * She DOES NOT care for any meat baby foods * and she's on the move!!

Lyric is already 7 months old and all over the place! She began crawling a few days ago and moves around like a champ. She crawls over the walls of her activity mat and will do anything she can to go after Stassy, a.k.a fat cat. She has a new musical table that she is pulling herself up to a standing position and seems to think she has already mastered crawling and is ready to move on to walking.

Most of you know that I set up my own photo studios each month...gone are the days of laying or sitting her to snap the camera. She won't sit still and it doesn't help that her new favorite thing is electronics. She loves remote controls, phones, playstation gadgets and now the camera that she has been in front of every day of her life.

I'll post pictures form our latest session in progress.
