October 2008

Lyla's first four weeks were filled with learning, mostly for mommy. Even though I read almost every book on babies there is nothing like "real world" experience. My mom and TJ's mom came to help out and they were great. We both enjoyed having them here and the extra help was wonderful. Some of Lyla's favorite things in the first month were her swing and going places. She was a great little adventurer, although she didn't much enjoy the rides in her car seat. We took her to a church pumpkin patch and to the Angola Prison Rodeo and Craft Show. Very different venues for our little baby! We also celebrated our first holiday, Halloween. It is my favorite holiday and Lyla had lots of cute Halloween clothes to mark the occasion. She was a Lady Bug and helped pass out candy to the big kids. It was a very exciting and very exhausting month!
