Meet Our Newest Coble Addition

Lila Grace Coble (my brother-in-law/sister-in-law’s first baby) was born on Tuesday morning (5/12) at 1:31 in the morning. She was 6 pounds 13 ounces, and 20.5 inches long. Isn’t she beautiful!!!! We are going to have so much fun in life Lila!

She is certainly a Coble. Looking back on Emma and Taylor’s newborn pictures they look just a like. I think she looks the most just like Taylor did when he was born. They have the exact same facial features. See if you can see the resemblance:

Baseball Game #3

Today was the baseball game #3, and Taylor you did a very good job!!! Your Manna, Aunt Mary, and cousin Lucy came to watch you play. You were too funny by the end of the second game because you were sitting on the ground playing with your hat. Not even your dad or the coach could convince you to stand up. I have to admit that two game in a row are too many for 5 year olds.

New Milestones

Emma Grace you are now pulling up on everything, and tonight I caught you in your bed standing on both feet! You are getting too big for words. Yesterday I got to go to your and Taylor’s mother’s day tea at playschool and you helped me eat strawberry shortcake, and you loved every bite of it. You also tried ice cream for the first time tonight and could not get enough of it. When you were ready for more you would look at me and stick your little tong out and then clap. Too cute!!!

Weekly Update:

We have been so busy over the past week, so I thought I would make myself a quick list to go by:

* Filled a whole 30 yard dumpster this weekend with trash that has been dumped on our property. (We own 10 acres west of town that we have been meaning to clean for the past 2 years.) Feels great to finally have this project complete.
* My mom stopped by for a surprise visit. I have missed her so much, and have enjoyed her stay. (I long for the day that my parents move back home and are close by again.)
* Watched Taylor plant: peppers, egg plant, cucumbers, carrots, okra, and a yellow variety of green beans in his garden.
* Installed a new dish-washer (highlight of my month so far)!!!!
* Found out Taylor’s new eardrum is starting to detach itself. We go to Little Rock next Friday to confirm.
* It has rained for almost 40 days and 40 nights so far. I can’t wait to see the sun shine.
* Emma is starting to wean herself, and it is breaking this momma’s heart.
* Found out today that Emma has a double ear infection.
* Lucy started playschool on Monday and is in Emma’s class.
* My newest niece Lila is due any day and I can’t wait to meet her.

I’m sure that one day things will settle down a little bit, but I’m just not sure when. Here are some cute pictures of my babies to enjoy.
