Our hearts have grown...

"A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer."

Leilah is 2 months old now and everyday is better than the last with her in our lives. She is such a beautiful little thing on the inside and out, and it radiates throughout our home and hearts. At two months she weighs in at a whopping 11.3 pounds (25-50 percentile) and is 21.5 inches long (5-10 percentile)... no worries ... what she lacks in size is made up for by her personality. Her smile has been getting a lot of practice over the past month and is truly my morning sunshine and fills my nighttime dreams. She sleeps for 6 hour stretches at night and is in no way ready to wake up when we hear Brody crack the door and say, "morning." She is a conversationalist now with her sweet little coos (when she can get a word in). Needless to say, we have quite the talkative household now. Brody still thinks that Leilah is the best thing that ever happened to him and truly believes that every facial expression, sound or movement she makes is for his benefit alone. He loves to lie IN her play gym with her and just giggle every time that she bats at the toys. These are the moments that overwhelm my heart in a way that I didn't know was possible. These are truly the days...

Home Sweet Home

As most of you know, we are moving to Fort Rucker, Alabama for Bobby's flight school on November 12th. We are thrilled to experience a new adventure (and a lot of sweet tea)... but sad to leave our friends, family and our house behind. Having our house on the market is a very interesting experience to say the least; random drop ins, lots of cleaning and an array of emotions, ranging from hopeful and anxious to sentimental over a place that was once just a prospective house made into a home... our home. A man that is looking to buy our house wanted us to take pictures to send to his wife in South Carolina, so I made a slide show and thought I would share it with those of you who want to see the place we call home.

You're the reason that God made a girl...

"Could you be the most beautiful girl in the world?
It is plain to see... you're the reason that God made a girl!"

To compensate for the super cheesy Prince lyrics I am sharing some pictures that I took of Leilah today! I'd say it is a pretty good trade-off!

Look at that yawn!!! I am sure that it is exhausting being so cute... and having mommy stick a camera in her face for a photo shoot! Can you blame me?
