The Garcia Family: Layla is 5 weeks old!

Layla is five weeks old and has out grown newborn clothes. My baby is growing and that makes me just smile. This week was a great week for us. She had her first trip to moms school, Hewitt Elementary. She also went on her first shopping trip to Talbot's and the grocery store. In addition, Layla had her first lunch date with her daddy. She truly enjoyed drinking her milk as her parents enjoyed as quick meal together. Layla's new favorite thing is to lift her head up during tummy time and look for her mommy. She also likes to lift her head while she is held. (She picture below.) Layla did the cutest thing on Tuesday, July 21st. When her daddy came into the house and looked for his little girl, he was greeted with the biggest grin we had ever seen. I wish we had the camera in hand to capture the moment. She just smiled a big toothless smile and stared at him right in the eyes. Larry said, "That is the best thing to come home to after a long hot day of work." Today, Sunday, July 26th, Layla had another milestone moment during her daily tummy time. She was laying on a blanket in her bedroom and turned her head from the left side to the right side. She did it all on her own. Wow!!!! We can't wait to see her make her first turn from tummy to back. As you can imagine, we are loving every moment with this gorgeous little girl. We have defiantly spoiled her to the max. As the summer comes to an end, and with only two weeks before mom has to go back to work, we are planning to spend every waking and sleeping moment together. It is just amazing to see how much she has grown and changed in only five weeks. We just love her and continue to cherish every single move she makes as she continues to bless us.

Layla enjoys a delicious refreshing drink.
