So Much Family Fun!

We've had a week filled with family. Visits with aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins, galore.

First, Mimi, Aunt Trish, Bumpa, and Sarah came over to visit. Mimi got lots of laughs from Josh and the girls sure had fun playing together.

Then we did a day-trip to CT to see Daniel and Sofia. Sofia took right to Chris and sought him out all afternoon.

The next day we went to the Children's Museum with Mimi, Aunt Trish, Sarah, and Ryan.

Oh, and Happy 2011. We'll be ringing in the new year fast asleep. Layla is still waking at 5 am, so it's early to bed for us!

Young Love

We had a play date today with Mommy's friends, Mike and Jill, and their daughter, Isabella. Bella is 2 weeks older than Josh but you wouldn't know it based on their sizes!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas, too. Between attending Mommy's staff party on Friday night, helping Mommy make oreo balls on Saturday, and assembling and eating her giant gingerbread man, Layla has definitely been enjoying herself this weekend.

Eating her creation....

Going back for more....

All dressed up for church, wearing the Christmas dress that Mimi made....

Josh has been having fun, too. While Layla was home with a sitter last night, Mommy and Daddy took Josh to Trina's Starlight Lounge. He was super baby while there, and didn't make a peep!

Here's a pic from last week. Looking big in his big boy clothes. Actually, he IS big....even wearing some 6-9 month onesies already!

Hi, Grandpa!

Grandpa and Charley came for a visit last Saturday. Here's Josh getting some quality cuddly time with Grandpa.

I am having trouble uploading all the pics I want, but it's getting late and Josh still needs to eat before bed. So....here are a few good ones. More to come.

Sleep Update

After a few weeks of 4:30 am wake-ups and a couple nights of frequent wakings (and screaming), Layla is back to sleeping through the night and waking up after 5:30.....for now. I'm pretty sure that she's teething, which is contributing to the difficulties, so I'm betting we're not out of the woods yet.

Last night Joshua slept through the night for the first time. He went almost 10 hours between meals. Hoping he does it again tonight! However, he has been a sleepy boy this afternoon. We got home from daycare around 4:30 and he didn't get out of his carseat until after 7! It's 8:30 now and he appears to have zero interest in being awake. Not sure what this means for the overnight hours!

I'm hoping that tomorrow night we may have time to sort pics from Layla's bday weekend and the last few weeks, so there should be something new up soon!
