Well all I can say is that it has been busy around here. First, Lyla had another follow-up with the ENT on Long Island and she still has fluid in both ears. The good thing is her ears are not infected. But it looks like she will need tubes this summer. We are in the process of making arrangements with Dupont Children's Hospital in Delaware to see when this will happen. She will turn 9 months on the 21st and she went to the pediatrican and according to the "Achon" charts she is average with everything (head, weight, height, etc.) She rolls and rolls all over the place. She is not crawling yet and is no where near sitting up either. She still needs a lot of support for her neck and back. (Any of you POLP moms want to give me a heads up as to when your kids crawled, sat up, walked etc. would be helpful). Her geneticist-Dr. Bober is not worried at all. So we aren't.
In the midst of this I am planning a huge 1st birthday bash for Lyla (Labor Day Weekend). I did this for Emma as well! We are inviting 150+ people. It is at the beautiful.....Lombardi's on the Sound over looking the water. I have been busy looking at invitations (which I already ordered), centerpieces, favors, DJ's, entertainment for the kids, etc. It is basically a mini sweet 16! I absolutely love planning parties for my girls! This is what I live for! I am so happy I have a hubby who will happily foot the bill! Go Eddie! Woohoo!
Here are a few pics of Emma's 1st Birthday Bash! Her party was at Tall Grass Country Club.

Emma's Preschool Moving Up Ceremony
