Baby Name Photographs – Wall Hangings This is a simple craft idea that I came up with while playing with Play-doh with Benjamin. I made the letters for the title of my blog out of different colors of play-doh and then decided to spell out Benjamin and Lyla. What I used: Imaginarium Wooden Xylophone or… Schylling Xylophone – Wooden or any colorful toy or background White Play-doh Canon Rebel EOS I
Lyla’s first haircut and Jam’s new toy
I didn’t think that I would ever want to cut Lyla’s hair, but I realized that it needed a little trim. I planned on trimming the back, cutting bangs, and cutting back some of the dark frizzy ends. Before After Before After It was very difficult to cut Lyla’s hair. She kept wanting to grab at the scissors. I really miss her old hair but I think that the new
Happy 6 month birthday Lyla!

Lyla’s day

We were going to get a few of Benjamin as well, but some little kid scratched him pretty bad at church 🙁 So while Lyla was getting her picture taken, my mother was running all over the mall with Jam. He was laughing and giggling and running all sorts of places where he was not supposed to
The Answering Machine
Reading Elmo together at Sam’s Club Somehow Benjamin has hi-jacked the home phone’s answering machine. The worst part is, I don’t have a clue how to change it back. Granted, I haven’t spent that long trying… I just keep forgetting about it. Usually someone is at home. The funny part is that it sounds as if he is just picking up the phone and answering it.
