It's Official: LEILA HELEN BELL

Today we had the opportunity to bless our second daughter

Leila Helen Bell

Tanner gave her a beautiful blessing and we were both able to bear our testimonies surrounded by family and friends. Tanner even paid tribute to our "6th Wedding Reunion" ;)

Leila is coming up on 3 months now! I can hardly believe it! Days go by so fast, yet it feels like ages ago she came to join our family. She has been such a joy! Although she has struggled with colic, milk allergies and acid reflux, we are finally figuring out how to help her and she is becoming such a bright-eyed, happy and smiley baby.

She looked so angelic in her blessing dress. It was Maci's dress as well and it was surreal to see my second daughter in it. She only puked on it a few times ;)

Do we look exhausted? We feel it. We wouldn't have it any other way. It's true. It gets better. I think I remember that ;)

I love the looks on everyone's faces in this picture...especially Maci's. It looks like she is really ticked.

Random picture of Maci.....I just like the pose. You've got to wonder what on earth she is thinking about?

It was wonderful to spend the day with so many people we love. We missed all those who couldn't be with us. Mostly we are extremely happy and grateful to have Leila in our lives.
