5 Months & Christmas Approaching

Time is flying and Lily is growing fast. We hit a few bumps along the way but nothing we haven't been able to overcome. Recently Ryan and I got sick. Luckily it was only a 24-48hr bug. We were in Ft. Lauderdale when we came down with it so Ryan and I stayed at his parents and we sent Lily over to my folk's house in hopes she wouldn't catch it. Just when I thought we were in the clear of keeping the germs contained, Grammy caught it. After talking with the girls from Lily's daycare we realized she was the "carrier" but never showed any symptoms. Proof that her immune system is building up. We were scheduled that same weekend to have pictures taken on Sunday but due to the "stomach bug" we had to cancel. If all goes as plans, we are going to try again the day after Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas - its right around the corner. We are both excited to be able to see the family and friends for the holiday. But we are ecstatic for Lily's Very First Merry Christmas! It will be hectic because we are making 4 stops that day. Ryan has already said we will do it this year and next but after that we will be spending Christmas day at home.

The other day at school Santa came to visit. She was the only baby who smiled for her picture. I know, I know ...you don't need to say it "Santa looks scary" ha ha. Ryan and I are taking her Saturday morning to Bass Pro to get another picture with Santa.
