Lipstick already?

Not quite, but it certainly looked like it after sampling our berry shake!

Two Big Milestones

#1: Pulling herself up!

We may have to move bath time to the big bath downstairs as she is ready to leap over the edge of the sink.

#2: Crawling!

Life is about to really change. Lia hit 8 months this week and began to shuffle and crawl around.We can’t believe how fast she is making her move. Next step…WALKING!

Memories in Motion

Here are some clips of Lia’s 1st Christmas memories: Opening her stocking, playing with her new stackable rings, and sledding at the cabin!

Also…Lia cheered alongside her mom and dad for the TCU Horned Frogs who captured a Rose Bowl Victory defeating the Wisconsin Badgers. Here are some snapshots of her Purple Pride!

Lia’s 1st Christmas

As we prepare to take down the “Baby’s 1st Christmas” ornaments, we reflect on what Lia’s perspective taught us. It is remarkable to see Christmas through the eyes of our baby girl. Her expressions of wonder, joy, awe, and delight reminded us of the simple message that forever changed the world: Light entered the darkness and transformed the world forever. We hope this truth encouraged each of you and your own families while celebrating together. Here are some memories we captured throughout the Christmas festivities.

Christmas afternoon…
