Little Lila at 9 Months

                Birth                                                  9 Months  7lbs 5oz                                          17lbs 5.2oz  (35% for weight) 19.5 inches                                       28 inches      (65% for height) This little doll has lived on the outside just about as long as she grew on the inside.  18 months ago,  we hadn't realized this little girl would be joining our lives.  Now we can't remember what life was like without our little squishy baby girl.

As I drove home in my new car that night, I had no idea that this would be the vehicle that carried me home after my first date with my future husband.  I never imagined what the backseat would look like with a car seat buckled in the back.  Much less two car seats!  As our family grew, Sophia didn't.  My little car that had taken my husband and I to Florida and back, s
