the davis family story

It doubles as a chew toy.

Just a little too big...

This is Lyla's latest trick.

So, I came home from Bible Study the other night, and Jared had the sewing machine out. He decided Lyla needed a new sleep sack, so he made her one out of this fleece he had stashed away in my sewing box for a few years! He actually did a great job sewing it, and even successfully installed his first zipper.

Lyla has been toying with sitting up for awhile now. She could sit up unsupported for a few seconds, and then she would topple over. And then one day last week, she could just sit up forever!

Here she is demonstrating - although, she just woke up when these pictures were taken, so there is a good topple at the end!

The Carhartt overalls fit!

Here are some pics from the Harvest Party at our church. Basically, hay, games, and candy fill the auditorium, and the parents eat chili and laugh at the ridiculous costumes we stuff our babies into :)

There was a pretty HOT bluegrass band, so Lyla got nekkid and did some square dancing with her papa. Thanks for the hat, Noah!

and Fiona as Alvin :)

Lyla was six months old on Monday. The time has truly flown. Today she had her six month checkup, so here are her stats:

Length: 27 1/2 " (99th percentile)

Weight: 15 lb 11.5 oz (50th percentile)

She's more than doubled her birth weight (7 lb 9 oz) which is what they're supposed to do by six months, so we're very happy! She's healthy and happy all over :)

Trying to eat the mirror. She's very hungry these days.

Suddenly it seems there are pumpkins everywhere. I'm rather in denial that we're only two weeks away from November. Still, I jumped at the chance to get out of the house last week and visit this cute "farm" in Half Moon Bay.

Lyla had fun petting the goats:

Hands up, Lady!

She's very close to sitting up by herself these days - she practiced on this bucking bronco (green and plastic as he is).

But the best part was the pumpkins - all shapes, sizes, and colors. Lyla doesn't discriminate - she wanted to gnaw on all of them!

Well, thanks to this sun visor from Granddad, that is.
