There's a 1st time for everything!!!!

First on the list is Lyla got to experience voting for the 1st time. Even more exciting is that I will be able to tell Lyla that she helped mommy vote for Barack Obama..the next president elect :):):):) It amazed me how important voting felt now that I have a daughter - of course it's always gratifying to place your vote but knowing my vote will help shape the world for my daughter made it feel so much more rewarding!!!!!!

Next up....Lyla's 1st Spartan game! Much to our surprise we spent most of the time staring at Lyla instead of concentrating on the game ;) We decided recording the games would be best for the future!

Onto Lyla's 1st bath time experience. I decided it would be too sad to post pics from her 1st experience...it did not go so well. We were so scared of the water temperature that we bathed her in "cool" water...not a good idea...the poor girl started to shiver:(:( Below are pictures from her 3rd bath experience with much much warmer water. Lyla now loves bath time which makes it fun for all.

The best part of bath time is when we wrap her in a warm towel! Awww that clean baby smell coupled with a happy baby that looks up at you with those big brown eyes - could you ask for more?!?!?!?!

And finally I had to include the below photos so everyone could end with an "Awwwwwww" moment! Is this just not the most precious thing you have ever seen. This is Lyla's....and daddy's favorite position! They could....well they have...laid in this position for hours!!!!

All those firsts - really each one of them is so special. The photos of Michael & Lyla are so sweet. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but those moments are just so fleeting. Hold on to them with all you've got. :)
P.S. Go Obama!

Chicago must be crazy today....Go Obama!

Lyle is absolutely beautiful. I love the shot of her wrapped up in the towel.

Aren't you so happy that you'll be able to tell Lyla she went with you to the polls on the day Barack Obama was elected? :)

I remember the lst bath time. She was not so happy and you and Michael were scared to death. Glad it went better and she looks very pleased this time. Loved all the pictures. Love Grandma
