Jacob takes over A Co, 1-508th PIR (That's parachute infantry regiment; aren't you proud of me?) on Friday morning at 11:00. That means I get to be an FRG leader. (Yes, I use "get" loosely.) I'm meeting some of the ladies of A Co tonight for dinner tonight, and would you believe it, I'm a bit nervous. I have the beginings of a headache, Lily is being very clingy and I'm in that place where I just wish it was time to get ready and go, so I can just get it over with. Know what I mean?
Anywho, keep us both in your prayers.
Finally!
I finally finished the "fancy" wall in Lily's room, yesterday. Not quite as "professional" as I would have liked; no matter how hard I tried to press the tape down, my paint still bled underneath so my lines aren't perfectly crisp. But all-in-all not too shabby; I'm pretty proud. :)
Copying Kelly
As usual, my friend Kelly has the most adorable blog background. So once again I am following her lead and changing it up a little. Thanks for the inadvertent link Kel!
Guess what!
Lily turned seven months old yesterday!
But that's not the big news... as I was getting her ready for bed last night... I noticed that Lil is cutting her first tooth! It just barely split the gums but you can see the very tiny tip of a tooth! Bottom right, for those of you playing along at home. :D

Just for the fun of it :)
Here's a pair of shots from the day we spent painting.
Somehow we managed to get the house on a Friday. But we couldn't get the furniture delivered until Monday. So what did we do? We decided it would be the perfect time to paint. Lily's room is pink (of course!) and the kitchen is a nice sunny yellow. I have to get some pics of the place so I can share... you know... when its clean, lol.

The one when Lily got her hairs cut.
On the 20th of August little Miss Lily had her first hair cut. No, we didn't have any tears. And, no, I didn't save a lock. :p
Her hair was so long in the back! And the place where babies tend to rub their hair off while lying on the floor was missing, so there was a big "step" in the middle. I think she looked like she was sporting a baby mullet. At any rate I had hoped to do it before her baptism but poor Nancy, our friend who cuts my hair, had hurt her arm. So we made a special trip after the baptism to see Nancy and get Lil's hair trimmed. It looked sooooo much better when she was done.
Sadly, Lily is in need again... and we won't be anywhere near California until December. :(

Lily's Baptism
So we managed to time it so that we could have Lily's baptism while we were on leave in California. That meant we could have it in Southern California where most of mi familia reside. And it meant that she could be baptised at St Elizabeth's, the parish were I (and many of my cousins) attended elementary school and made my first communion. :)
Lily was great and didn't make a sound as the water was poured over her head, but she didn't like lying back too much. :) And boy, did she want that candle flame! Lily is blessed to have my cousins Ben and Kaitlin as her godparents.
