baba's gone back to work

After 15 weeks of vacation/parental leave, Colin has returned to work. I truly think Colin and I both being off together with Lilah for the first 3 months (of our life as a family of three) was the best thing we could have done. Those first days and moments were so precious to us, together we built a trust and a bond that can so easily be taken for granted. She seems so happy and secure with us now. We are so very thankful.

  1. Miss Lilah,
    Both my granddaughters, Ilana 6 and Sadie 3, want a rain coat JUST like yours. It is so cute. Could you ask your Mommie where she got it. I think I would like to get them one. It is just awesome! My email address is lilahuggins@gmail.com
    Thank you.

    PS Cutting teeth is hard on a girl isn't it? I'm sorry sweetness. It will be over soon I promise. I used to put a wash cloth in the freezer and my darlin' girls would chew and suck on it and it made them feel better. Maybe you could try it.

  2. For anyone else wondering where Lilah's jacket is from, we bought it in Marks & Spencer in the UK.

    M&S actually ships to Canada and the United States now!

    Here is the link...
