This past week has been a fairly busy time for us, not to mention a period of change for our baby girl.
I was in Las Vegas for two days last week doing a “proof of concept” demo with our client up there and it went very well. The feedback was positive and we only have some minor changes to make to our application in order to move forward. I have a ton of work to do THIS week as well for the same client as I have a 90% deliverable due on July 6th. Yikes.
Back on the homefront, Jina and I are trying to plan out some things for the house that we have been wanting to do for awhile but just have been putting off. We need to replace our carpet in the living room at some point. Either with new carpet or maybe wood floors. Stuff like that. We may get rid of our shower doors in the master bath and just hang a curtain up. I think it will look better and be easier to keep clean. Glass shower doors are a P-A-I-N.
This weekend was busy though. I had a golf tournament on Saturday morning up in Scottsdale, got home around 12:45pm and then drove off to Maricopa for our friend Sara’s birthday/cancer-free party. We had a great time there, stayed over until after 7, swam, goofed off and ate A LOT of food.
It was at that party that we filmed the video below of Lyla “crawling” for the first time. It’s mostly lunging and pulling, but the way I see it…any forward motion is awesome.
She’s been growing up fast it feel like. Now she routinely sleeps through the night, even on occasion not crying a SINGLE TIME for the 11-12 hours she sleeps. We’ve discovered that the sleeping book I read awhile ago seems pretty accurate. The earlier she goes to bed, the more she sleeps. The fact is, she starts waking up from 5:30-6:00 every morning, no matter if she’s in bed at 6pm or 8pm. The more sleep for a baby, the better.
Then she takes about 3 total hours worth of naps during the day. And she’s as happy as a clam.
That’s about it from the Olbinski house. Enjoy the video below! Also, there are a few new pictures of Lyla in our photo album section under Random Lyla!

I don’t know what is more exciting – Sara being cancer-free or Lyla semi-crawling… just kidding – Sara’s FREAKING cancer-free! Woohoo!
I dont know Sara, but thats awesome news!! Congrats!!! =)
Now that Lyla’s crawling her sleeping schedule will be messed up a little. Every time our Peanut learned something new she’d change her sleeping patterns for a while. good luck with the baby-proofing. It’s always good to hear when someone is Cancer-free, a wonderful reason to celebrate
Stop toying with your child for entertainment! She is one intelligent girl and calculates how to get the goods. She gives that look to say” I did what you instructed, reached the goal and you unfairly moved it”. Great video.
