lilah's happy and so are we!

my million dollar smile

I just watched my sweet daughter fall asleep without even a little murmur, what a wonderful feeling! It is 5:10pm and she just went to bed a few minutes ago, she's been coming on in leaps and bounds this past two days. Last night she got 10 hours sleep and another 2 hours for her nap today, oh it's the little things in life that we are so thankful for! She is like a new child, so happy and full of life! We are delighted! I just want to thank my two close friends that I emailed for advice, you know who you are and I deeply appreciate your kindness and expertise, thank you so very much. My Mum has been wonderful too, lots of excellent long distance advice! Thank you Mum, you're the best!

Well you know all is well in my world when I have time to vacuum the house AND take pictures of my cutie pie! You can see them here. We were in Wal-Mart again early this morning, not quite as early as the morning before though! Then after Lilah's nap we went out to the mall. While Colin was getting his hair cut I took Lilah into the pet store. Oh my, what fun she had, running from the kittens to the puppies to the budgies to the rabbits, full circle, over and over again! Those poor pets didn't stand a chance if they were trying to sleep! Oh how I love my girl!

  7. I think this is my first chance to comment, but it's been so amazing to follow along with this blog off and on over the holidays. Colin, Jill and Lilah you are a beautiful family. It is so wonderful to see Lilah looking so rosy and happy and to hear the shear joy in your stories.
    Congratulations and a very Happy New Year!
