10 Month Update and Summer Fun on Long Island!

10 Month Update


Lyla turned 10 months on the 21st! She is still a great baby! Sleeping all night and taking a 3 hour nap in the morning. She still has only two teeth and tries really hard to get around....rolling and turning but no crawling yet! I think this is a good thing cause this girl will take off! I just know it and then I will be chasing her around the house! So no crawling is fine by me! She still has fluid in her ears but it is not infected. I am grateful that she hasn't had any ear infections but she is definitely getting the ear tube surgery on August 4th. We will be going down to Delaware on Aug. 3 for her pre-op. And yes we are still planning her Birthday Bash! It's been crazy but all for a joyous event! She truly is an ANGEL!!!!


Fire Island!

Ever since Eddie and I got back from our vacation together it has been nonstop! Everyday I have fun things planned with the girls from....playdates, sprinkler parks, going in our pool, bbq's, visiting relatives, parties, etc. It has been great! One memorable day was when we went to Fire Island. Emma and I went with Eddie's family. Eddie was working and I didn't want to take Lyla cause it was way too hot. So Eddie's dad watched her for the day! I got to spend time with my beautiful daughter Emma. Here are some pics from that day!

Katie's 2nd Birthday! (My goddaughter)
Another great day was my niece's 2nd birthday! My parents were here from Florida and we all had a great time! My sister did an AMAZING job planning this party! Everything was YO GABBA GABBA cause that is what my niece is into! Here are some pics from that great day!

The Granshaw Annual Movie Night!

    I don't know if you remember but I am very into traditions! It is all about the kids! One tradition that passed already was my giant Easter Egg Hunt! The next tradition we have going is "Movie Night"! We rent a giant movie screen and friends come over to watch the movie under the stars outside in our backyard. It is really a great night! Our feature movie this year was "Toy Story 3". We had approx. 50 people (kids and adults) come this year. Last year it was double! People canceled last minute due to the heat wave! It has been 100 degrees this past week in NY and being outside is just brutal even at night. We definitely understand but the movie must go on! Here are some pics from our annual MOVIE NIGHT!









Going in the pool before the movie




Candy table #1

Candy table #2

Popcorn! I just threw the candy/snacks on the tables because it was so hot! I didn't want things melting so it was a sloppy job! While I was racing to get the candy out before the movie, Eddie had ice cream for the kids. He was handing the ice cream bars out! This is how we got everyone out of the pool!







Emma and her friends! Look how happy she is!

Hanging in our pool!

Here are some pics of our hot summer days! This is how we have been spending some of them since we had a heat wave!

  1. What summer fun you guys are having!!! I'm happy to hear that Lyla is still doing well, minus the fluid in the ears. I've just kinda figured Caden will probably have numerous sets of tubes until he is 11 or 12. junk!
    The Yo-Gabba-Gabba party is so cute! Your sister did a great job!
    How fun with the giant rentable movie screen, I've never seen anything like that. The girls are adorable as always :0)

  2. What a fun post! It's great to see all the fun things you guys have been up to! Lyla sounds like she is doing just amazing at 10 months. I love the picture of her in the pool! How fun to spend a day with Emma at Fire Island - it looks beautiful there! That giant movie screen is an awesome idea...we might be doing something similar as a fundraiser for our school. Love the gorgeous pics of the girls, as always! Stay cool!

  3. Your posts always make me miss summer on Long Island. AHHHH! If I still lived there I guarantee we would be spending a lot of time together. You guys look like so much fun. I just love the candy table and big movie screen. You guys are the coolest family ever. Lyla and Emma are just such gorgeous girls, but have a gorgeous momma!

  4. I'm so far behind with blogging again, but I always love catching up with your posts - always so many beautiful photos!
    Happy 10 months to your beautiful Lyla . . . I guess I should say Happy 11 months now! :)
    You guys have had an awesome summer!! It looks like you and Emma had a beautiful day together with family on Fire Island! Your goddaughter's 2nd birthday party looks like it must have been a blast for the kids! Love the birthday cake! Movie night sounds like a perfect summer tradition! If we lived closer I would invite ourselves over! :) How fun!
    With the heat this summer, I'm sure you guys really enjoyed your pool to the fullest! Love that picture of Lyla with a big smile and her two teeth showing (by the pool)!
    The pictures of your two beautiful girls together are so sweet!!
