Summer rolls on...

Wow, it's August already! Lila continues to grow like crazy - next week we go back to the doctor for her 6 month appt, I'm anxious to see what her length/weight is now. Every morning when I go in to get her, I feel like she has gotten longer! Tonight we went grocery shopping and she sat in the cart like such a big girl. The clip in the cart was broken so I couldn't strap her in and it didn't even matter - she just sits up and holds on. She LOVES people watching - I think she's really going to love daycare with all the other kids and things going on.

Last week we went to Lake Michigan for the day - it was a beautiful day! We all got some sun and Lila went in a little bit. I seem to have misplaced my adaptor to import my most recent photos, so you'll have to be patient for pics!

Solid foods continues to go very well! We're now up to two meals per day. She now also really likes sweet potatoes. The next thing on our list to try is banana!

Lila is now in her "big girl" car seat - it seems gigantic compared to the bucket thing she's been in. So far, she seems to really like it - although she's only ridden in it twice!

Lila still seems to be in a "sleep funk". Some nights, it's a solid 8-10 hour stretch. Other nights, we're up 3 or 4 times a night - sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for an hour or more. Oy. I sure hope we're back on track before school starts!!

Since it's now August, I thought that it would be good to start tackling those things I wanted to accomplish around the house. So far, I have cleaned out under the sinks in our bathroom and reorganized pretty much every cabinet in our kitchen (including the pantry!). I still have a few more things to do, but I'm glad to be this far! This winter we will have been in our house for 5 years (!) and some of the cabinets that I cleaned out still had sawdusty ick in the corners. I guess I was so excited to move in that I kinda forgot to clean everywhere. Oops! :)

Some new stuff did get uploaded to my flickr (I helped a friend photograph a wedding and the newest pics on there are ones I took with a borrowed camera). I don't want to say that the summer is flying by - because it always does - but I think more than any other year, I'm savoring each day. It's been wonderful having this time - and there's still so much more to be had! This week I'm finally going to use one of my mother's day presents - 3 hours at the spa! :) Then the next day I have another hour massage - I'm trying to make the most of my insurance coverage while we have it!! This weekend is another Tigers game and a trip to one of T's most hallowed places - Cabela's! Summer fun keeps on coming...
