A little bit of sunshine...

Chicago weather...our 3 months of summer are getting even shorter this year. The past 2 weeks it's been raining and in the 50's...yes 50's.
This photo was taken 2 weeks ago - our little bit of sunshine.
Lyla and I walked to the lake while Michael got in some time at the driving range. But I am so sad to report that she was confused by the flying birds...a little bit of fear along with a very puzzled look. We love that she is our little girl in the big city - but I'll be darned if my child is confused by birds...

Lyla even had a costume change...but with one well equipped diaper bag to the rescue...no sweat!

And a bottle with a view...
So the weekend was off to a great sunny start...the key word being "was." Just that quick the night brought cold rain clouds. Saturday morning we decided to chalk it up and have some fun around the house...
S0 we focused on Lyla crawling...I know what were we thinking?!?! Most of you are probably thinking - once she is on the move you'll wish she wasn't...
And as you can see from these videos - Lyla is most definitely on the move!! YIKES - so after a quick "Baby Proofing 101" google search - off we went in the cold and rain to Ikea. We returned with a Sunday project - Baby proof the condo...
And I'll wrap things up with this video - we have entered the squealing zone - Lyla discovers a new sound daily - but keeps going back to this high pitch squeal....got to love it!!! Her legs are getting so strong. Her harness made her have what we called "jello legs" meaning she would just collapse and not bear weight on her legs...but those days are behind us. Look at her go now...

That squealing is hilarious!!! She is getting SO strong. I couldn't get the 2nd video to play, but she's adorable in that 1st one. She's like a little caterpillar.
