Sand and Sunday

Lila is now the official owner of a sandbox. When I took her to Moody Gardens (the water park, see the July 3rd post if you missed that) she LOVED the sand. One of the moms in my moms' group was selling a sandbox at her moving sale so we got it for Lila. It's a smallish one with a cover so we can keep bugs and water out. As we thought, she loves it! Jenna, the neigbor, came over to play with her in it. Since it's past season we couldn't really find her any beach toys, but were were able to find a small sand castle thing at Target that at least had a shovel that she can use.

Saturday night Roman and I went to dinner for our anniversary and Lila stayed overnight at Grana Nana's. That's the first time she had been away from us overnight, but she does fine with Grana. She was up earlier than normal though (6:15am!), poor Grana!

On Sunday we had a bit of a scare. We were out running errands and when we pulled up in the driveway our front door was wide open. Roman went up to the house and peaked inside and didn't see anything strange, but just to be safe we called the police to come check out the house. They took their time getting there and we had groceries in the trunk, so we called our neighbors and asked if we could borrow their freezer for a little bit. Two officer came and went it with guns drawn--they don't mess around--and "cleared" all the rooms in the house. Luckily there was no one in the house, but better safe than sorry. The only thing we can think happened is that we didn't close the door all the way that morning when we came in from taking Lila out in her wagon and the wind blew the door open.

Below are some recent photos...


Eating lasagna. She's been picky about her food lately, but she loved the lasagna.


Yep, still loves shoes. The other week Roman went to the gym on his lunch break and when he started getting stuff out of his workout bag, he didn't have any shorts, but somehow one of Lila's little blue Converse made it in the bag. And she'd also left one of her little pink and white socks in his running shoe.


Lila got these beautiful bracelets from our friends Wally and Soha. They actually gave them to us at our baby shower, but Lila could pull them off her wrist for so long that it's only been recently that she can wear them. I should take an upclose picture so you can see them, they are darling!
