Our Little Lady

Lyla

8 lbs and 19.75 in long

This little lady has already been such a tremendous blessing and joy to us.  She seems to have a sweet temperament, though she can get pretty "spirited" if she gets too hungry!  In my opinion, she is a beautiful baby with such tiny features-- tiny nose, tiny fingers, tiny feet, tiny ears-- and her characteristics just seem feminine.  She has already captured our hearts and we love her, even big brother.  I have to admit, having a little girl is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.  She is so precious.

Lyla in my belly.  Obviously, I got an epidural this time or I wouldn't have that smile on my face!

Our happy, growing family

3 Cousins who will one day be besties, I'm sure :)

We are praising God for the rich blessings he has poured on us.  He is so good!
