Firsts - Lila enjoyed her first plane ride!  We flew to Colorado and she happily nursed until she fell asleep, then slept the entire flight.  I wore her in the airport and while walking around Breckenridge.  She doesn't mind being worn by her momma.  (more on our Colorado vacation in another blog!)               - While in Colorado, little sister rolled onto her belly while sleeping and slept like a baby the rest of the night.  I on the othe
