Neither of us remember what I was doing before taking this photo, but apparently it was naughty. Maybe it was something that I was *supposed* to be doing, but I was taking silly photos instead! 

Here's Lila playing with her favorite Christmas item again. Doug says she looks like she's puking foil in this shot - gross. 

Here's Lila with her (Great) Grandad Dorsey. He thought she was pretty cool stuff! 

This is Lila on Christmas morning. She was so excited about opening presents that she couldn't even stay awake for the first one! 

Lila's first purse. Somehow I don't think she'll be carrying that one right away... 

This was Lila's favorite Chrismtas present - crinkly silver paper. She went so nuts over it that we had to take it away so she'd calm down! 

Lila's first real Snoopy (i.e., not "baby" snoopy) and Snoopy book. From her Daddy, of course. 

Daddy and Susan's dog, Rusty, with a camo santa hat and his Christmas bone. To Lila, he will be known as Uncle Rusty. 

The cool shoes that Hope got for Christmas. I want a pair! 

Christmas dinner with the Peeler Clan. We had some yummy grub that night! 

Lila with her Uncle Wayne. It was very cute how much they liked each other! 

Lila with her Uncle Greg. He is slightly freaked out by her existence and we haven't figured out quite why yet. 

Lila tearing into a gift. She was really more interested in the paper than the gift, of course! 

Here's Lila getting some love from Aunt Megan and Hope. Megan will be having their baby girl in about 6 weeks! 

Lila is 4 months old today! Go Lila! It really feels like she's been around much longer than that though. In a good way, of course. I can't imagine life without her anymore. That's not to say that I don't enjoy getting some time alone occasionally! But sometimes I even miss her when she's asleep - she's just so sweet and cute!

Poor Doug is still super busy this week. I had hoped it wouldn't be so bad for him since half of Dell is already on vacation. No such luck though. He's going to be working his booty off right up until the end. At least Friday is an official holiday! That means we can leave town on Friday morning without him worrying about what he's not getting done at work. Well... I guess he still could worry, but hopefully he won't!

Well, Christmas is almost here! I'm so excited! :) I mostly finished our shopping this morning. There is one person who we are having trouble buying for because we just can't come up with any good ideas, we have a couple of small things left to buy for Lila (even though she doesn't know the difference), and Doug hasn't bought my gift yet - I don't know what it is, but he admitted he doesn't have it yet.

We decided that this year we would give out all of our gifts in baby shower gift bags. This is because (1) we have about 30 of them from all of our baby showers, and (2) this mommy didn't start wrapping soon enough and wouldn't have had time to finish before we leave town on Friday! Plus, I think it's funny. :o)~ Poor Doug has been so busy that he doesn't even feel like it's Christmas. Hopefully this week won't be so bad for him!
