Tis the Season!

I had to post again! So much fun stuff has happened!
But before I start, yes I am wearing the same shirt that I wore in the post below or maybe below that, but I don't care! ha ha.... inside joke.
First off, Lyla and Kennedy had a play date! I love baby play dates! There really is not much that is cuter than seeing a couple babies playing with each other. It really is amazing to Rhett and I to see little Kennedy running around ALL OVER THE PLACE and know that Lyla will be doing that soon. I love looking/reading/hearing about what's going with Kennedy. #1 Cause she's cute and #2 because I know it won't be long before Ly hits those milestones as well. Anywho, we had a good time hanging out with Jill and her fam!
Lyla and Kennedy playing...Ly can actually move now as opposed to when they first met and she just laid there!
Jill with the girls...
Such precious little angels... sometimes... ha ha!
Mommas and Babies!Secondly, KRISTI'S HOME!!! Need I say more?! I am so so so excited! I was able to hang out with her most of the day and she was able to meet Lyla Grace for the very first time! Lyla loved her...I knew she would. Kristi is so animated and fun, and that definitely gets Lyla's attention. We played at our house for a little while and then went to Tokyo for some yummy sushi. Tokyo is where a first for Ly happened, she started saying "bye bye" and waving! Kristi and I were both shocked and excited. I was so happy that Kristi was able to experience a "first" of Lyla's. After dinner we went back to the house and waited for Rhett to come home (from hunting, blah!) so we could show him Lyla's new trick! She didn't let us down and she started saying "bye bye, bye bye, bye bye" and Rhett said, "she's got a voice"! Ha! Yes, she does! And it's a cute one! I love hearing the sound of her voice! I have been waiting 9 months to hear it! So, she says "mama" and "bye bye" now. No "dadda" yet...sorry Rhett! Speaking of 9 months, my sweet girl turns 9 months Christmas Eve! I wish I could slow down time...
Kristi and Lyla Grace...she's eating Kristi's phone. Uh oh!
She loves her Auntie Kristi... you might not be able to tell from this pic...but she does! PROMISE!
Ly and I at Tokyo for dinner! Mmmm, definitely my favorite restaurant!
Aunt Kristi and Lyla... this is where she said "bye bye"!!
Here's the video of Ly saying "bye bye"... I know I'm probably too excited about it, but I just have been waiting to hear her talk for sooooo long! :)


Just me with a couple of my favorite peeps...

I can't believe I got to be home when Ly first started talking. She is SO precious. It was SO much fun to be with you and my Lyla bug. She is just so laid back and such a great baby! I can't wait to get home and love on her again in a few more months! I LOVE you sooooo much my heart, and miss you already!
