It truly was a wonderful weekend celebrating Easter! We enjoyed coloring eggs, attending the city Easter egg hunt, having friends over for dinner and egg hunting, and most importantly, celebrating Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday. It is now Monday, and I am exhausted! Here are just a few pictures from the weekend. A special thanks to the Lewallens, who passed along the dress that Lilah is wearing for Easter. And, check out those adorable headbands the girls are wearing - you can get one for your own cutie on my friend Abra's Etsy store - Rosemary's Cuppa.

And she's off!
Lilah turned 8 months and hit all kinds of milestones within a week. In that week, she crawled, waved, clapped, said mama, and pulled herself to standing. It was a busy week! Here's a video of her crawling.

Then and Now
Thanks to my mom for keeping several of my dresses for about 26 years! I now have a daughter big enough to wear them. Perfect timing - vintage is IN! (I am certain there is someone else who could more accurately tell what is in, but I'm pretty sure vintage is in right now :)).

8 months old
Yep, another month has come and gone! Lilah has been busy this month. She has learned to go from laying down to sitting up, and she is very proud of this new ability. Mommy and Daddy are proud, too, but it is hesitant enthusiasm because she keeps performing this trick in the middle of the night and then cries because she's tired and sitting up. She does know how to lay back down, but it must be too hard in the middle of the night. I find her half standing, trying to pull herself up on the edge of the crib. While she hasn't fully pulled herself up (she can get to her knees), she really likes to stand and play at her activity table. Lilah also clapped, actually for the first time today, and did a backward wave at a lady at Elise's gymnastics class.
Lilah's appetite continues to increase. This month some of Lilah's new foods include squash & apples with cinnamon, carrots, parsnips, and apples, and mango and pear.
Lilah has started to show a preference for people she knows by kicking her feet with excitement. (She also does this before bathtime). The other day she lunged from the person holding her to get into my arms. She always has a huge smile, cooing, and kicking when Wes comes home. She says 'da-da' pretty regularly, but hasn't mastered 'ma-ma' yet.
Here's a video of Lilah doing two of her tricks (sitting up and then clapping). Enjoy! (Listen for Elise in the background - she just can't stand Lilah getting the attention).
