Layla is 8 weeks old!




What a week, eight have passed, and things are still going great, strong, and wonderful. Everyday is new and fun for each of us. Layla certainly keeps us on our toes from day to day and even second to second. Things are absolutely phenomenal for us all with her in our lives. The past eight weeks has been a delight that we thank God for each every single night.
This was a new week for Layla and Mom as the school year began for us. On Monday, Mom and Layla just relaxed together at the house with one small trip to eat lunch with Daddy. We slept in, as much as sleeping in for us. We woke up at five o'clock, ate, pooped, made breakfast for dad, then went back to sleep around seven o'clock. If my memory serves me correctly, we were back up around eight o'clock for food again. But, we got a little more shut eye. Layla and Mommy enjoyed another lunch date with Daddy as we ate Smalchezt sandwiches with chips and coke. On Monday afternoon Layla and Mommy enjoyed a afternoon nap on the bed where Layla slept in her favorite position. If you remember, her favorite position is curled up in a ball with her head on her mother's chest. (This has to be one of my favorite things to do with my little baby girl. I know I will miss our afternoon nap together once the school year starts.)

On Tuesday, Mom had her first day of work. It was a busy one, filled with a meeting in the morning and paper work in the afternoon. Dropping Layla off at Mrs. Nita's went very well. Layla had a big smile on her face as she saw some of her new friends there. I only called to check on Layla once to see how things were going. And yes, things were going smoothly. That afternoon, Mom left work right on the dot to pick up her little angle. That afternoon and evening, Mom just could not get enough of Layla. After dinner we all relaxed and called it an early night.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday things went great. We got up on time, and in the car and to Mrs. Nita's in time for Mom to get to work. But when Friday came, and Mom got to leave a little earlier, can you guess what she did? A- did she go home and take a nap B- did she go back to her office to do more work or C- did she go pick up her little girl

If you said, C, you are correct. I went to pick up Layla as soon and as quickly as I possibly could drive, according to the speed limit. But that afternoon, Layla and I enjoyed a visit from Grandma Nixon and a wonderful meal from her as well. Thanks, Grandma for the food, it was a nice treat after a week of work.

On Saturday and Sunday, as you know where great too. We relaxed, did house work, and played together. Below you can see pictures of Layla having a fun time with her book and Hippo Pad.

She still loves the shinny mirror that reflects her beautiful face.


Read, read, read. We read in the morning, we read in the afternoon, and we read at bed time.
Reading is one of the things Layla and I enjoy doing together, no matter the hour.
Look at Layla's smiling face.
She is certainly happy to see her Mommy and Daddy home from work.

Here is Layla sleeping in her crib, right before her first day at Mrs. Nita's.
She is getting closer and closer to sleeping through the night.
