In the last few months....

We have been away for awhile and Leila has grown tremendously. She is finally crawling, even though she pulled herself up and walked before that. She has two bottom teeth now. Here are a few pictures:

Her favorite thing to do is go swimming.

She loves pizza :)

Supporting her Uncle Lane :D

My Little Girl is Getting so BIG!!!

We were sitting on the couch enjoying our Sunday afternoon.  Mari was sitting on one arm of the couch with Leila beside her and I was kinda half laying on the other side of the couch.  All of a sudden I hear, "Johnie, look at your daughter!!"  And this is what I saw:

That's right...she's is sitting up all by herself!!!!


Until next time...

Leila's first Ranger Game

Yesterday, April 4th, Leila got to got her very first Ranger game. The Rangers were playing against the Seattle Mariners. They won 6 to 4, making it them 4-0 for the season. She was all too excited for the game and fell asleep the whole way there, then also half the game. But here are a few pictures...

5 MONTHS!!!!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is already 5 months old.  Time sure does fly when you're having fun.  It feels like it has only been a few days since I held her for the first time back on Halloween.  Speaking of Halloween, we will more than likely be throwing a costume party to celebrate her first birthday.  It's never too early to start planning your outfit.

On another note.  Leila is progressing nicely.  She is beginning to roll over and has started eating oatmeal.  Also, we finally found a bottle/sippie cup that she will take which makes Daddy happy because he gets to feed her more often now.

And since you can't see the whole thing, her shirt says "GIRLS ROCK BETTER THAN BOYS"

Until next time....

Long week..Johnie is gone on his first mission trip

On Friday, March 11, Johnie left to go to his first mission trip with UthBuild. He will be in Mexico for 5 days building houses.

On Friday they made a ten hour drive from Sulphur Springs to Tucumcari, New Mexico. There they stayed at a church. Then woke up bright and early Saturday morning to drive to Phoenix. In Phoenix, they stayed at Bethany Community Church. As I am writing this, they are finally on there way down to Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

4th month check up

On March 2nd, Leila had her 4th month check up. I was super nervous and dreading because she was going to get another set of shots. To our surprise she did amazingly well. She cried for about 30 seconds and then was done. She now weighs 12lbs and 11 oz and measures 24 1/2 inches. She is tiny, but then again so big compared to her cousins.

Hers is a picture with all three of her cousins.

Leila sitting like a big girl.

No Longer the Baby!!!

We knew that it was undoubtedly approaching with both Tia Nana and Aunt Banana pregnant and due in February, but we never dreamed that it would happen this soon.  Adriana gave birth to Amaya Leslie Mills on January 23, exactly three months and three hours after Leila was born.  Amaya was born 4 weeks early, but by the grace of God she was perfectly fine and was able to go home just 2 short days later.  We are all doing great and anxiously awaiting the call that Amanda is having Leyton.  Its amazing how huge Leila looks compared to Amaya.  I can't believe she has already been here with us for 12 weeks.  Pictures coming soon for the size comparison.

Until next time....
