Hale Center Theater


This week we were so lucky to be able to get away for an evening to go see The Christmas Carol play at Hale Center Theater. We went with my side of the family and we had such an amazing time! The play was sooooo GOOD, it exceeded both mine and Brad's expectations. After the play we went to eat at the new restaurant in Orem called Pirate Isand! It is actually a pretty cool place. Very good place for a fun family dinner! We missed our little Lily, but it was sure nice to go out with the adults :) Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful evening!!

Yes we have a four month old!


Lily is four months old!! (actually 4 1/2) I cannot believe how fast the time has flown...but I say that every time! Lily is at such a fun age. We are constantly getting a kick out of her. She is such a happy baby and I am so glad for that. Lily is up to sooo many new things...a few of them are: grabbing toys on her own and playing, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, she is a great little supported sitter, laughing/giggling, she is a TALKER...she goes on and on making new noises it is hilarious, Lily sleeps all through the night..her last feeding is at 9 pm then she doesnt eat again until 5 or 6!! Lily is also teething which makes her a little drool monster on top of her spitting up....yes she still spits up A LOT but the doc gave me the green light on rice cereal so I am hoping the cereal will help her with that!

stats:

12 lbs 14 oz 50th percentile
24 1/2 inches long 75th percentile....yes she is still a little tall :)

we love you Lily!!

Next year hopefully she will be covered in mashed potatoes!
