Layla: Three months and counting!

Laylas first real time swimming! She loved the water


I can't believe that in 5 days my little cutie will be three months old! It's hard to explain this, but even though she has only been with us on this earth for just a few short months, It feels like I've know her for an eternity. And while her unique physical appearance seems so familiar, it is her spirit and personality that I feel most accianted with. A friend reminded me yesterday that I might not be keeping everyone updated on the newest addition of our family very well, so here are some pictures and a list of a few things that make Layla the sweetie she is.





Physical features:


1. She was only 6 pounds 2 ounces when she was born. Not the tiniest baby ever, but the smallest one in the family. We were actually relieved that she weighed so much. The doctors all predicted that she would be in the upper 4 pounds.


2. She has the cutest little birth mark on her cheek. It's just tiny, and it's starting to go aways, but I love it.


3. When she was born she was so wirey, all I could see while they were cleaning her up were her little leggs jolting up and down. I actually knew before she was born that she would be this way.


4. She is very tall and slender, but at three months she has started to get some cute rolls. However, she still fits in almost all of her new born clothes.


5. My favorite is that she has big blue eyes, dark hair and long dark eye lashes





Personality:


1. Very sweet and content (she rarely cries)


2. She loves to talk (well in baby talk of course) and her noises are so soft. And it's not like she is just making noises, it's like she is actually asking you questions. She will talk to you and wait until you have answered her back before she says something else.


3. She is very tolerant, especially of her brother and sister. They will totally get in her face space, but she doesn't get upset, she just seems to sit there and study their every move.


4. Her daddy thinks she is an angel, I think she is pretty perfect myself.





Milestones:


1. Even though she hates tummy time, she can hold her head up from the tummy position for quite awhile.


2. She loves watching Cartoons with brother and sister.


3. She can almost sleep through the night.


4. She's in size two diapers


5. She just decided that she does not love the carseat


6. she has already had one cold, but handled it with such grace!

Pictures:







First bath with brother and sister. Logan held her the whole time. She loved it!








First camping trip at City of Rocks! She slept the whole night in the tent. It was the best sleep ever.







I just love this picture!
