Layla is 7 weeks old!

Now that Layla is 7 weeks old, I am amazed at how she has grown and changed in such a short amount of time. And yes, it is time for me, Mommy, to go back to work. But that is not until Tuesday. So we have another Monday together. This week has been a joy. We have read together every single day. We probably read 15 books a day. And guess what, being an elementary school teacher, we are now just beginning to reread a few books. This week we went on a few walks together with Grandma Nixon. View the picture below of Layla in her carrier. It makes walking easier, since she is not bouncing in the stroller. During this week we got our new dishwasher, and Mommy is so excited about having a new up to date device to wash those wonderful baby bottles. What a relief. But to Moms surprise, we are not running it ever night, so some hand washing is necessary. On Thursday, we ate lunch with Ganny. It is so nice to see her and visit with her. On Thursday, during Layla's tummy time, she realized that her Hippo Pad, for tummy time, had a shinny new device. See the images below that mom took. And of course, Grandma Nixon has come by to visit almost every afternoon. On Friday, Layla went to spend an hour with Mamo and Papa. This way, Mom was able to run to the store and get a few things done in speed mode. Friday evening was another treat for the whole family, as Mommy and Daddy went out for their date night. Since this was their first date night since Layla has become a member of the family, we decided to bring her with us. We ate at Out Back. If you did not know, this is our favorite place to eat at. We had our last date night there before Layla entered the world. So, it was the perfect place to go. On On Saturday, Mom, Dad, and Layla went shopping at the Richland Mall. Mom got some new shoes. And Daddy got some new tools for work. Layla got a good cool stroll in her stroller. And today, Sunday, June 9th, has been a fun relaxing day at home. We started the morning off with breakfast with Mamo and Papa. But after breakfast, we just chilled in the cool air condition. Well, that seem like everything we have done. Stay posted for more. We love you all and wish you a wonderful week.

Originally, Layla was on her tummy.

But after turning over, she found a new shinny discovery.

It is soooooo cool seeing my little girl experimenting with her environment.

Layla is having back time on her Hippo Pad.

Isn't this the best.

Reading, reading, reading.

It is never tooooo soon to read.
