Lions and Tigers and Shots, Oh My!

Christmas Eve Day...

Just after hearing that she was headed to the pediatrician for her 2 month shots!

(Or maybe Daddy shook the carseat a little wildly?)

"Lovely Lilah" Livin' Large Long-Distance

With a Daddy in the desert, "Triple G" representing the West Siiide, "Double G to the T" holding down the East Siiide (insert gang sign hand-flash here) and aunts, uncles and cousins caught up somewhere in between, I figured a blog would be the easiest way to unite everyone.  

(Not that there is a turf war going down between the families or anything - it makes a funny visual though - red and blue bandanas, some tats and gold teeth... ?)  

I digress...

The point of this blog is to bring a little "Lilah A Day" into your lives.  To give each of you a chance to watch her grow and change ('cause it's happening every day) and she is AMAZING!!!

And if an apple a day can keep the doctors away - a Lilah smile a day can surely keep the blues away!

Enjoy!

*This is where I insert my disclaimer:  

The title of this blog implies that there will be an update EVERY SINGLE DAY!  While I will try my hardest to keep up with that statement, I make no promises or commitments, am not contractually obligated nor guilt bound - so don't even try it. 

Newborn's in November

I thought I would start out this blog with a few newborn photo's that we took of "Lovely Lilah"...  

Yes, Brian hauled Lilah's vintage rocker out into the woods behind the house (because he loves me and indulges my ridiculous requests - what an AMAZING husband)!  And yes, I took my 10 day old newborn out into the brisk Fall air for a creative photo shoot for my own selfish reasons!  

Our little picture adventure involved: nursing in the Tahoe with the heat on HIGH while a random hippy couple we met in the woods lingered, a lot of pre-staging (all while trying not to bust my stitches) so we could keep a naked baby wrapped in a blanket until the last minute before we started snapping shots, a bout of guilty crying when I realized the ruffle-butt bottoms had rubbed against her cord and bled a little (again, Brian was the best and reassured me that I was NOT the worst mom in the world) and trying to stuff my daughter between two tree branches (fail).

Definitely not the easiest, but totally worth it in the end! 

It had to be...

'Cause we're Garlick's and that's how we roll!
