Lila's First Birthday

So already a year has passed and little Lila just had her first birthday party.  So here it goes from a gloating mother.  It only took Lila about two seconds to dive into her chocolate two tiered birthday cake.  After partaking she decided that throwing it all over the ground might also be a lot of fun or at least get a lot of reactions from the crowd.   Fortunately we had a lot of cousins around to help her eat her gargantuan cake that would have fed a wedding party.   

These last twelve months have been so much fun having Lila around the house.  I have been told countless number of times how cute her red hair is and have had to explain about this same number of times where she got it from.  Also, don't let her dainty and delicate features deceive you Lila is a good, hearty eater and can keep up with the best of the chubby babies out there.  Lastly, Lila is a pure mama's girl. Don't worry her Dad is slowly coming into her good graces and she is finally warming up to him and letting him hold her for a second or two at a time.          

   

The Beginning of the End

I'm sure you are all wondering why in the world I named my blog what I did but let me just stop you right there--don't ask, it is a long story.  If you have a real lingering curiosity just ask the mister sometime.  Anyhow, on to posting my first blog.  I decided tonight is the end of my voyeuristic days and I would stop looking at everyone else's blogs and start my own.  This is an attempt, like so many others, to keep an account of my humdrum and sometimes not so humdrum life.  Hope you enjoy.
