Happy 8 Months Lila Grace!

"Young {girls} should never be sent to bed.
They always wake up a day older."
— J.M. Barrie (from Peter Pan)

... I seriously considered not letting Lila go to sleep last night... so she won't be 8 months today...

but despite my best efforts... it happened!

our baby girl is 8 months old today!
