Life Lately

Where to begin, we have had a very busy September and October. Mostly very good things but we did have to temporarily move out of our house due to a sewer main break, what a mess!! We are back and ready to get back to a routine again, especially with Lillian. She has been such a trooper through all this chaos. We finished the month of September with a much needed weekend in Bozeman with our friends. They have two beautiful little girls, so it was so fun to have all of us together for the first time since Lillian had been born. We had great fall weather and Lillian was such a great baby, I don't think she cried once. A week later we found ourselves in Bozeman again with Bryce for his job. The weather wasn't as nice and I wasn't feeling too good but we still enjoyed ourselves. Lillian got to meet my old boss, finally! She just loved Jen, didn't fuss at all in her arms, that doesn't happen too often. And most recently, we just returned home from a trip to Denver. It was a wonderful trip and was so nice to get away from all of our house problems. We just soaked up time with our good friends and got to know the city of Denver, who knows, we may call it home someday:) OH, and remember how I said I wasn't feeling so good in Bozeman? Well there was a very good reason to that. Yep, you guessed it, I'm expecting! AGAIN, for the third year in a row! We were in shock, but SO excited too, and a little scared. So many emotions, but we are just taking it day by day and trying to enjoy our time with Lillian while it is just the three of us:) Through an ultrasound I found out I'm seven weeks along, so still really early. I'm very hopeful and at peace with God's plan and timing. So that sums up life. Lillian is growing up so fast! She is going to be a great big sister! Here's a recap on Lillian at 5 months:

She is a great traveler, she did so good on the plane.
She started the month barely sitting on her own and is now sitting up on her own, mostly:)
Rolls over from both sides and can scoot herself around the floor, so i really have to watch her now
Still really loves her daddy, he can make her laugh so easily
Started officially eating solids, lots of bananas-not a good idea she got very constipated
Sleeps through the night for about 10-12 hours, but will get up once every couple nights and need to finish out the night in our bed
Babbles constantly-trying to get her to say mama and dadda, but she just looks at us and smiles
Still very scared of other people holding her, but getting better
We are pretty sure she is teething so we put a Amber necklace on her and it seems to be helping
She is starting to get more hair! I can't wait to see what she will look like with hair, she gets called a boy a lot:( 
She loves to swing!(pics below)

We are just loving every minute with Lillian, well mostly, she still can test our patience, but it is worth it:) I have really been struggling with morning sickness so I am trying really hard to not let it get the best of me so I can take care of Lillian and give her the attention she needs right now. Some days are so hard and I know they will just get harder as she grows and as I grow too:) It will be very interesting. But I am very excited for another baby and for Lillian to have a sibling close in age!
