Wisconsin Trip, Easter and Layla 9months

Well we've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. On March 26th Layla and I hopped on a plane and flew to Wisconsin. The plane ride was awful. She was so tired and refused to sleep in my arms untill we were landing. Then she woke up as we got off the plane. We were both so happy to be off the plane. My mom picked us up. She was so excited to see Layla since she hadnt seen her since she was a week old. We had lots of fun during our stay. We got to see all the babies that were born the same year as Layla. We saw my friend Bobby Jo and her baby Brookelle, Megan and her baby Bradyn and my sister and her baby Ivy.


We also got to see many other friends as well! It was so fun to also spend time with my siblings. Most of them had never even met Layla before. On the last couple of days on our trip we went down to Iowa to see my sister Nicole and her family. It was so fun! And the weather was beautiful! It was hard to come home to snow. It was kinda weird to go from a warm Wisconsin to a cold Utah. Kinda backwards. Vaughn was so happy to have us back.







Sunday was Easter and the Easter bunny came for both Layla and Vaughn. Layla got a basket full of stuff and Vaughn got a new bongo drum. The Easter bunny forgot me this year.




Wednsday the 7th Layla turned 9months...WOW. She still does not crawl. She still just a roller. She likes to grab on to me and try to pull her self up but usually needs some help. I try to get her to stand on her own but she likes to stand on her tippy toes. She's eating lots of solids now. We go on Monday to the doctor so I will post her measurements later. She loves to point and say dad or that. Shes been so fun to watch and I swear gets prettier every day.

Layla is 8 months!

I'm a little late posting this. But on March 7th Layla turned 8months. She is getting so tall. She gained about a pound. I started noticing all her clothes are getting too small on her. So we moved up to the 9-12month size! It is exciting to move to a new size because of the new outfits but it's a little bitter sweet packing up her clothes that dont fit her.
Layla still is not interested in crawling. She loves to roll and roll. She likes to do this in her crib as well when she dosnt want to nap. One of the things she likes to do in her crib is turn side ways and kick the wall. Layla has always been a big kicker even since she was just tiny. Now that she figured out how much fun it is in the bathtub she gets so excited to take a bath and once she in in she kicks so much I end up being soaked from head to toe.

Layla is way more interested in big people food. She rather not even eat her baby food. She wants what is on our plates. I probably shouldn't be giving her everything that I have but she loves it.
In one week Layla will be taking her first ever airplane ride. Her and I are flying out to Wisconsin for a week. We are also traveling to Iowa while we are there to see my sister Nicole and her kids. We are so excited. Most of my siblings have not yet met Layla. I'm also excited for Layla to meet her cousins Alex and Ivy! Stay tuned for pictures when we get back.
I am so excited for this summer. Layla and I are going to have so much fun. She loves being out side and so do I. Here are some pictures I took the other day.

Layla's first swim!

On Saturday February 27th we decided to take Layla swimming at the fitness center where I work. I got her a cute 2 piece swim suit. It was sooooooo cute! She was my very own Esther Williams! When we first got her into the pool she was a little nervous of all the noise but once she got used to that she started splashing and playing. She loved it!











After our swim Layla's fingers and toes looked like raisins. She was so tired. When we got home we gave her bottle and she passed out on the floor.

Layla is 7months and other happenings

Layla turned 7 months yesterday! She stayed the same size in weight and length but I swear she keeps looking taller! She is holding her bottle all by herself now. And the best part is starting to sleep till 7am. If she does wake up earlier she will play for awhile in her crib. It is so nice. She hasnt shown any interest in moving around at all. She still hates being on her belly and mostly just sits when she is on the floor. Not that I'm looking forward to her getting into things but it would be nice for her to be more mobile sometimes.

We had big news come to us in January. Vaughn was offered a new job. He will be able to work in the field he has always dreamnt of working in. This job come via his friend Olen who works for this same company. He will be an apprentice at a company that writes programs for companies to use on their computers. He's very excited. This is what he started going to school for and just hasnt been able to finish yet so this will help him. He starts a week from today and will be working from home. It is a huge blessing we never expect so we are all very excited. the only down side is he will be making less money for now. But we will survive!

Layla is 1/2 a year old!

Are you serious? It's been six months since I had my baby girl? WOW! I'm a little behind in posting this but here we go....Layla now weighs 15lbs 11oz and 27 1/2 inches long. She is tall and skinny. Must get it from her daddy's side. Since I'm short and fat :) Layla is sitting up but still topples over after awhile. Her favorite thing to say is Dadadadadada I've been trying to get her to say mama but she cant figure that one out yet. She sleeps through the night, most nights. When she does wake up we just have to giver her her binki and she goes back to sleep.

Happy 2010

It's a new year! New beginnings, new adventures, new friends and hopefully a new body :)
Here's pictures from our fun New Years!
