Loving cousins, Chelsea and Layla



Fighting cousins, Chelsea and Layla :-)





My itty bitty Layla is not so itty bitty anymore. I am amazed each day at the differences I see in her.
And she is such a daddy's girl! She will do things for him before she will do things for me. Example, she knows how to give kisses now (sweet!). Guess who got the first kiss? She can scoot and inchworm now. Guess who she scoots toward? She even says "dah-di" now. Not mama.

Here she is attempting to crawl. She does this all day long, but won't take her fingers out of her mouth long enough to really crawl. Notice she is sockless on one foot.








Still no signs of teeth, but I'm not in a hurry. I love her toothless smile!





I forgot to add something. She has become extremely active in the last month. Grabbing things, yanking things, slapping things out of my hands. Tearing the pages in my textbooks, banging and typing on the laptop. It's exhausing. Here she is with Daddy, "sharing" the laptop.









The only reason I'm typing stress free right now is because she's with her Nana. She spends the day with her Nana every other Thursday. Bittersweet.

Quotes



These are the years, the gentle years,the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so so much,
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years, the quiet, walk-on-tiptoes years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes the tiny bed
where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years, the blissful, sweet-surrender years,
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.
