Teeth

Here are some pictures where you can clearly see Ila’s teeth.

Standing up

Ila has learned to pull herself up to standing position, she has not learned to lower herself back to the ground after standing up.  So she pulls herself up, is happy for a moment or two, then starts to cry for help.  In the picture below, her little feet started to slide and soon she [...]

Videos

I’ve been taking videos periodically. but I’ve taken more than I want to share in a blog.  Some of them are not blog worthy, others are great, but I could turn my whole blog into video clips if I tried to post them all and I assume that there’s only a few readers who’d like [...]

Ila and Sam

I just thought these pictures were too cute not to post.  This is Ila and her second cousin, Sam.  Ila is 7 weeks older than Sam, but obviously the smaller of the two, just look at those arms and legs!They were delivered by the same Doctor at the same hospital (their mothers were scheduled to [...]

Ila’s talented feet video

A Visit From my Mom

My mom came down to Tennessee to help while Zach recovered from his surgery.  She arrived on Friday night and was able to stay with the kids while I picked up Zach from the hospital and then got his perscriptions.  Zach was miserable all week and barely emerged from our room.  He ate almost [...]

Tonsillectomy: Mission to My Mouth – Part 1 “Preparing the Chamber of Rejuvenation”

Upon orders from my doctor, I am having tonsils and adenoids removed.  I’m 33, which people tell me is rough.
I’ve made as much preparation as I can think to do.  I’ve purchased a number of soft foods, got some drinks, got my Camelbak filled up and ready (they say fluids are very important), and I’ve [...]

Ila eats, claps, and “talks”:

Sorry, no Isaac video, I’ll have to capture one of him afterschool sometime for you.
