Happy Two Month Birthday!!

Lila, you are two months today, and you are more beautiful than ever!

What you are up to:

• You fight sleep. You do your best to stay awake day and night in order to party. However, you usually give up at about 10:00 at night and sleep until about 6:30 in the morning.
  
• You love to chat and smile with your Mom...especially in the morning.
  
• You look just like your Father. One of Mom's friends calls you "James Jr."
  
• You gave us that precious first laugh. It has to be the most amazing sound we've ever heard.
  
• You weighed 9lbs 15oz. at your 6 week check-up and were 22 inches long.
  
• You are wearing 3-6 months clothes.
  
• You went out for your first lunch at Smokey Mo's this month. You lasted about 5 minutes before you lost your mind screaming....clearly not a BBQ fan.

Just another wonderful day Being Billingsley...

Back To School

Abbie started back to preschool this month, and look how excited my little ray of sunshine was to have her picture taken on the first day.

Just another super cooperative day Being Billingsley...

Resting Time at Chez Billingsley

Abbie popped in a riveting Strawberry Shortcake movie to watch during rest time today.

I didn't realize Lila would be such a fan as well. That Strawberry is one charming little lady.

I also didn't realize how extremely large BOTH of my girls' heads are. I mean WOW!

Just another strawberrific day Being Billingsley...

Who Can Blame Her?

Abbie was thrilled about the rain today. Here's what she did when we got home from having lunch with Gigi.

Later she told me, "God sent the rain so we could play in the puddles." I think she's right.

Just another awesome day Being Billingsley...

Who else is excited???

Well, tonight is the night... Steelers play the Titans!!

I'm proudly wearing my Steelers shirt... Abbie is rocking her black and gold gear... And the game cuisine was all purchased this morning. We are ready to go!!

Since James is going to a sports bar for a "networking event," it will just be the Billingsley girls watching the greatness that is Steeler Nation Football.

Just another super stoked day Being Billingsley...

Polly Likes To Party

I was so proud of Abbie when I walked in on her playing with her Polly Pockets and saw that she was very careful to "buckle them up before the car went anywhere." It was very important that they "follow the rules" and "be safe."

I honestly had that moment... I thought to myself, "Ahhhh, I really am an excellent Mom. My child understands the importance of being safe and ensuring others are making good decisions as well. I should write a book. I think I'll call it, I'm a Great Mom and You Can Be Too"

Then, imagine my disappointment when I walked around the passenger side of this party wagon. Anyone else see what's wrong with this picture?

Perhaps a closer view will help clear it up.

That passenger is clearly unaware of a little rule called the "Open Container Law." Honestly, who takes a margarita glass complete with lime wedge on the open road??

I guess I better change that book title after this.

Just another day Being Billingsley...

Well, look who woke up smiling...

Just another happy day Being Billingsley...
