Spacek Christmas

 Aunt Charlotte, Mom Cowen, Grandma & Grandpa Spacek

Just Grandkids

Playing some sort of follow-the-leader game  I'm guessing

Something must be funny!

Thought this picture was hilarious!  Lyla is doing her motor boat thing and giving Cousin Gracie a shower!  Poor thing.

Some kiddos were looking....

Again, some kiddos were looking....sigh.

Cute Kevvy 

LOVE this picture!  She's so comfortable in his arms.  This really makes me wish my Grandpa Kocian and Grandpa Raab were still here.

Very interested in each other...

Lyla is 8 Months!

Seven months was one of the most exciting months yet.  You've learned so many new things and your personality is coming out little by little.  You're definitely laid back at most times and very observant.  You investigate things thoroughly and no one can get your attention when you're doing this.   You love to be in the company of others and as always, you have a smile for everyone that just takes over your face!  You've also started scooting on your booty (while screaching with joy), rocking on all fours, and as of today, crawling!  You are so determined to pull yourself up but usually try to do it on something that can fall over.  Daddy was also very thrilled this month because you said Daddy very clearly for the first time!

The many faces of Lyla:







Busy at work:

Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's House

Christmas at Matt's parents' house was great as usual but Lyla wasn't able to enjoy the festivities very long.  She wasn't feeling well and had to turn in before opening her gifts.  I was able to get a few (well, more than a few) good pictures in before she started feeling bad though.


Yawning already...


Lyla's cousins, Kevyn & Kelby


See any resemblance?

Lyla's so blessed to have such a generous family!

In awe!
