Sunny Day!

It was SO pretty outside today! I decided to make Layla a big new bow and dress her up in her some Summer clothes! Yay! She was so cute outside. The sun was a bit blinding, but felt so nice! She loved watching her cute cousin Isaiah run around and play. She just can't wait until she can join him!

Here's Layla getting ready for outside fun!

All decked out!
Like the bow?
Pretty baby
Daddy's shoulders are the BEST!

A New Tooth!

My poor, stubborn baby! Yesterday she was totally herself, playing down at Nonna's, not a problem. Then nightime hits. She refused to breastfeed! She wouldn't even latch on a little bit, even to try it out. Now if you know Layla, you'd know how unusual this is. All you have to do is look at her chub rolls to understand that she LOVES to eat. It really bothered me and I really had no idea what to do. She was up crying and screaming for quite some time and would only calm down if there was an interesting enough distraction. She wouldn't chew on anything or take her teething rings. She wouldn't even play. She finally passed out while watching some crazy infomercial about an egg beater. Then this morning, she woke up and wouldn't eat AGAIN! Not even a little. I started thinking that she was trying to wean herself and simply wasn't interested anymore. So sad. I finally decided to pump (mainly because of the pain) and my Mother in law gave her a bottle. She took it immeadiatly and fell right asleep. Crazy girl. My thoughts were that maybe her mouth was too sore and she just didnt want to work as hard for food. Bottles allow the milk to flow pretty easily (at least that's what I'm telling myself). Anyway... we both took a good long nap and when she woke she was pretty much back to normal with a brand new little tooth. What an ordeal. I wish there weren't so many teeth in the human mouth! Unfortunately I have lots more to look forward to.

I forgot to mention that it's her left front tooth (on top). I can't wait to see what it'll look like when it moves in more! Although, I know it won't help with the biting.

Mother's Day

Here's our little family.

Look at those eyes! She loves playing on the floor.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! 

Playing in the toy bucket!

New Carseat

She was so excited to get into her "big girl" seat!

"hee hee"
"I'm ready to roll!"
Chubby girl (I know it looks like she isn't wearing any pants, but she's in a cute little jumper)
big yawn!

Busy Bees

We have been crazy busy lately! It's been really fun and definitely a big change from our lazy lifestyle back in Rexburg. I think that the weather is to mainly to blame... or maybe just me. But it's been pretty sunny up here and we're loving it! It's not super warm yet, but warm enough to spend time outdoors. Layla loves it outside. Seeing all the trees and birds. She absolutely loves it when we see animals! She will giggle her little head off at dogs and cats. So cute. She's getting around quite well now too. Still not a REAL crawl, but she a champion wiggler. She can wave at you and say "hah" kinda like "hi". She loves to smile and definitely prefers playing to sleeping. We miss everyone back in Rexburg and can't wait until we move into our new place in Aug.!

Layla in one of her new headbands. I couldn't resist the flower!

Just hanging out
She loves the tops of bottles. She never uses bottles, so she thinks they're just toys. cutie pie

Little Piggy

Her cousins left this silly pig nose at Grandma's, so Layla had some fun trying it on. (okay... so it wasn't HER idea. I just couldn't resist!)

Side view
"So THIS is the thing that was on my face!"

(I absolutely LOVE her "thinking" face. SO pretty)
New swim suit... lots of room for the pot belly!
She hates it when I dress her up during the day more than once. So I just put it over her clothes to avoid an unwanted tantrum.
She's quite the musician
New pink flip flops

I keep finding Layla in the weirdest positions, since she's begun to crawl.

Playing with her favorite toy... a diaper. Go figure.
So happy!
I know this picture is blurry, but I just wanted to show how big she looks compared to my Mom! Giant baby!

Fun at Nonna's

Layla loves Nonna's house. Who could blame her when there are piles of toys just waiting for her to play with. Nonna spoils her rotten and she sure does love it!

She always lights up when Nonna is around.
Learning to walk :)
Playing pretend drums
So pretty... with a bit of baby acne.
fell over
Wiggle away!
Just hanging out
She LOVES windows!! She can't get enough of them. She'll stare out at the trees swaying in the wind.
