Well...it's official! Our baby girl is 1 year old! I still can't believe it! We had an amazing day on Saturday, with great weather, celebrating Lyla's 1st year of life! She was surrounded by friends and family and loved every minute! She got her own cupcake to eat for the first time. I was surprised though, that she didn't dig in more :-) She actually stayed pretty clean as she ate. We are so thankful to my parents who hosted the party for us and made her party a success! And Peter's parents helped with the food which we are very thankful for as well!
Just this past week Lyla started walking! She is finally starting to understand that Peter or I don't have to initiate the walking. She is letting go of the furniture and taking steps towards something she wants on her own! She continues to amaze us! On her birthday, she also started pointing to objects. And yesterday, she started blowing kisses :-) It's like her little brain is exploding with all these new discoveries and it's so fun to get to watch!
She seems to have picked up a cold (or is teething again) so please pray for her comfort. She doesn't nap or sleep well because she's so congested. And she screams and screams when I suction her nose to get the boogies out. I feel so horrible doing it, but I know it's only one of many things throughout her life that I will have to do with her best interest at heart, even if it makes her unhappy.
Last, please pray that Peter will find a job! We are relocating closer to our parents and the first thing that needs to happen is Peter getting a job down there. We have already signed the agreement of sale for our current house and the latest we will be here is the beginning of September. Being pregnant and expecting our little boy shortly after that is definitely a stress to me! Please pray that things get worked out before that for us or that we're somehow able to stay here so I can deliver in Philadelphia. Lots to pray about! But they're all good things as we look toward the future of our family!
