Could Have Been Worse!

Layla slept through the night and seems ok this morning. We haven't tried any daring food or whole milk, but I think she's over the worst of this bug. We are very thankful that we weren't up all night doing laundry! Our time will come, I'm sure...but at least for this weekend, we were spared.

Stomach Bug

I should have known something was up when Layla wasn't demanding her after-school graham crackers. Lucky me, while we were driving down 95, she decided that would be a good time to vomit....everywhere. And on the c-c-coldest day of the year (read, I didn't exactly spend quality time cleaning the car...which will be that much more fun to finish in the morning). Once we got home she couldn't keep anything down. Poor Chris took the brunt one time. She's not a juice kid so she refuses to drink pedialyte. We finally got her to keep down a few tiny helpings of watered down milk and a few oyster crackers. By the time bedtime rolled around, she was exhausted and went down no problem. We're crossing our fingers that she (and her food) stays down for the night!

Trader Joe's to the Rescue

Layla was a bit fussy and demanding graham crackers (lately this is all she wants when I pick her up, even though they've just fed her a snack at daycare...she will settle for nothing less than at least 4 whole graham crackers!) this afternoon when we stopped for some errands. Luckily, the red balloon, courtesy of Trader Joe's, put her in a fabulously silly mood for the remainder of our shopping trip, the entire ride home, and much of the evening.

QUACK!

Layla is finally big enough to wear her flannel ducky pj's that Mimi made for her. She loves to point at all of the ducks :).

These are a few of my favorite things...

Favorite food as of late: Garlic Lovers' Hummus. Seriously. She eats it by the spoonful. I'm pretty sure I could smother anything in this hummus and she would eat it!



Favorite YouTube video: Jack Black in Yo Gabba Gabba Unfortunately, Layla hasn't quite grasped the message in the song.

In other news, Layla must be eating plenty these days because in the past week she has received the following comments:

"Your belly is as big as your head!" - Aunt Christie

"Her belly looks like it has a baby in it!" - 5 year old friend, Maggie

Fun with a Pull Toy

Layla, sporting an adorable outfit!
