Layla is 17 weeks old!

Now that I am 17 weeks old, I am ready to explore and see so many new and interesting things.

Yes, Layla is 17 weeks old. And we have had an eventful week and weekend. On Monday, Daddy had baby duty as Mommy went to a Junior League meeting. Then on Tuesday, Mommy and Daddy enjoyed cooking dinner together as Layla played in her new walker. She has begun to move backwards. It is too neat. In addition Layla, Mommy, and Daddy played pass the baby in the kitchen, after we rearranged the room to accommodate the walker. It seems to be the only place in our house that allow Layla to roll. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we relaxed as a family and enjoyed filling our evenings with family time. Bath time, book time, tummy time, and sleep time are so critical to our evenings. On Friday, Mommy stayed home with Layla in the morning since Mrs. Nita had to take the day off. But, Grandma Nixon came over to grand babysit, and Mommy went to work. You will see the cutest pictures of Layla taken recently. Since Daddy's birthday is Sunday, we tried to take a perfect picture for his homemade card. Thanks to one of Mommy's co-workers, we made a painted mess in the kitchen as Mommy tried to get a nice clean foot print of Layla's. After about 10 tries, we finally found a system that would help make a nice clear print. But if you are curious, Mommy and Layla needed a bath after this wonderful experience. Oh, the kitchen floor needed a cleaning too. On Saturday, Mommy slept in along with Layla. It was so nice. Then we did our every day weekend chores to get ready for the upcoming week. Then on Sunday, we celebrated Daddy's birthday. Mommy and Layla tried to allow Daddy to relax and enjoy himself. It certainly was made easier since Daddy bought a new toy for Layla. Below you will see it. It is a music making toy that has a piano, drum, and guitar (daddy's favorite). This new bright and colorful toy also came with a maracas and tambourine that Layla loves to put in her mouth. We also went and wished Papa Garcia a happy birthday, since Daddy and Papa share the same birthday. We had a nice visit. But that sums up the week. You will have to stay tuned because Layla turns 4 months old on Wednesday. No one knows what is will surprise us with next week.
