8 Months!

Lila, you are one sassy girl....

You are 8 months old today and under the impression that you run the joint. I LOVE IT!

It's been a busy month for you:
  • You got your first two teeth!
  • After approximately 248 tries, you are finally able to wear a bow in your three beautiful blonde hairs.
  • You've been able to sit up for about a month now, but today you decided to put yourself in a seated position after being on your tummy. It was done mostly in protest to your afternoon nap.
  • When you get on all 4's, you like to rock, but don't seem all that interested in crawling yet. Your sister was the same way! I like to consider that a "Thank You" from you both for being such a good Mom.
  • Another thing you do like your sister did is take your diaper off when you are in your crib. That's all I'm going to say about that...
  • You discovered how to get the Gerber Multi-Grain Puffs into your mouth. They are your favorite snack, and you aren't the least bit scared of them sticking to your face, belly, high chair, kitchen floor, dog, or fingers.
  • You still love to eat. We're at about 4 times a day now and still 2 table meals a day. We've added a mid-day snack of Puffs and water.
  • You are still a great sleeper... 12 hours a night and 3 naps a day.
  • You must have an audience. Playtime will never work unless there is at least one other person sitting on the blanket watching you.
Everyone still comments on how much you look like your Dad, but your little personality is really all Mommy!


I love you, sassy little thing!!!!!

Just another day of celebrating and Being Billingsley...

I Can Quit Anytime...

Well, it's easy to quit when the bag of Tootsie Rolls that was purchased yesterday is completely empty!


I've decided to get a handle on this addiction stuff.
So, I promise not to eat one piece of that fruit in the background.

Just another day of dipping into the Easter Bunny's stash, and Being Billingsley...

Happy St. Pat's!

This picture depicts the two personalities so well. It really cracks me up.

Just another day Being Billingsley...

Look Who's Wearing Her First Bow

If I get one single comment on how ridiculous it is to put a hair bow on a baby who has three sum total hairs, I will come to your house to give you the same lesson I have to give James about hair bows on southern girls. Save yourself the half-day lecture, and just enjoy the cuteness...

This is a big day at Chez Billingsley... Gotta run and write about the achievement in her baby book!

Just another cuter than average day Being Billingsley...

Why Is This So Funny?

Lila has always thought this is hilarious. I can't figure it out...



Just another hilarious day Being Billingsley...

Lookin' Good

Occasionally I catch myself going through pictures of Abbie when she was a little bitty thing.

I love doing it because it brings back some really sweet memories. Looking at the pics today, I remembered how my girl used to LOVE to dress up...

How better to make an impression than by going to tea with no shirt on? Try it. I bet people will never forget you.


Pretty sure she was negotiating an audio visual contract on Mom's cell phone while rockin' her red peekaboo heels.


Even at a young age, Abbie understood a lady shouldn't leave the house without a little mascara.


The Chef.


Safety first. A person cannot be too safe while watching Praise Baby videos.


A pioneer for original style... Here she fashioned the most unique suspenders you've ever seen from her Mom's underpants.

Just another day walking down memory lane and Being Billingsley...
