Standing Tall

We picked up this Leap Frog Musical Playground today. Layla is already in love with it. The family we bought it off of (love Craigslist for baby stuff!) had a mom named Rebecca and a little girl named Payla. Weird, right?

Bill Delays Chris

Layla and I were anxiously awaiting Daddy's arrival last night, only to learn that the hurricane had canceled his flight. He had to stay an extra night in Charleston and then his early morning flight was delayed. Hopefully he'll be able to catch a noon flight from DC and will be home around 2:00.


In other news, Layla came down with a cold yesterday. Right now she is super snotty and I'm just hoping it doesn't end up in her chest like all of the previous times. Last night she woke up every 45 minutes or so. Needless to say, neither one of us got much rest.

Grandparents!

Layla has had a lovely visit with her grandmommy and granddaddy this week. Today we went to Drumlin Farms and she got to see lots of chickens, goats, sheep, and pigs. She loved them all and was desperate to escape from her stroller so that she could get up close to the critters. (and yes, we met ANOTHER Leila while we were there!).

After the farm, we came home and played.



Then we went to dinner at Nourish, a new restaurant in Lexington Center. Mommy enjoyed her blueberry mojito and Layla enjoyed some ice cream!

Check out Sofia and Daniel's blog for even more fun pics.

Layla and Sofia hang out on her gym mat.


Watch out, Daniel...Layla might jump on you!


Layla LOVES animals. Here she is meeting Truffle.


Then on Friday Layla was happy to meet Mommy's friend, Katie, who drove from NY to see us. Yes, even away from home, Layla swings with her maraca.

Cousins!

More pics to follow soon...

A Long Time Coming

Tomorrow Layla and I head to CT to see her cousins. The last time I saw them they were still itty bitty in the hospital and Layla was still in my belly. Long before any of these kids were born I was excited for the day that they'd all be together. We've had to wait longer than anyone would have liked, but the visit has finally arrived. Off to finish packing!

Mom's in Trouble!

So she isn't crawling yet, but Layla seems to think she can stand on her own. Today at the library all she wanted to do was stand at the bead table. At one point she even transferred to the house. Luckily I was spotting her closely, because just after these pics she released her grip and would have fallen flat had I not stopped her. All this means that I have to keep an even closer eye on her all of the time!
