A few things



This is layla WALKING! ya i know, its so crazy! I was scrapbooking and layla has been pulling herself up onto everything so it wasnt abnormal to see her standing by me, but it was crazy to notice her walking away from me!!! So great to watch her learn new things everyday.



Here are a couple of the cute faces layla has been making lately.


A little while ago i let layla try to eat baby spagettio's and apple squares by herself. She barely ate any and ended up with almost all of it on herself. Her bath water was orange that night.

swimming lessons







This summer we went to swim lessons at the aquatic center. Layla loved the water but didnt get her head underwater more than 3 times since when you blow in her face she opens her eye and mouth big instead of closing them and taking a breath in. She loved the water though and had a great time.

house pic


We have grass! Its filling in very well now and i just got done transplanting some of my irises from the back yard to the front so i thought i'd update my blog. I'll take more pics of the back when we get done with the last bit of river rock around the deck and house. Hopefully we can get the deck stained and everything done for layla's birthday at the end of ausust. Richie is taking his practical exam for paramedic certification today then his written on the 30th so wish him luck!

4th of July Weekend

Last week i started trying to get layla used to cows milk and she has just taken off with it. She started just taking it once a day and after this weekend she drinks it twice a day and only nurses at night and in the morning! Im so excited to be able to leave her places and not have to worry about her getting enough to drink!
I was starting to worry that i'd be nursing her forever so its a relief she is catching on so fast. She has been napping better and in a great mood so it hasnt been bothering her stomach which i know can be a problem for some.


Saturday night mom and i also gave layla a bath in her kitchen sink so we wouldnt have to bend over the bath tub. She did great except for the slip when he head almost went under, but mom and i caught her! She then crawled out of the sink onto the counter when she desided she had enough, it was too cute!





This is a chair chelle had for one of her girls, layla sat in it very well. Untill she started suckin on her toes in it! She makes the funniest faces sometimes! The night of the 4th layla, Mom and I went down to Ferdinand where a couple family went together in on some fireworks so we watched them set them off on main street. Layla likes the fountain ones and didnt even flinch at the loud screamers or poppers. She fell asleep on moms lap half way through and stayed asleep through all the loud finally poppers and screamers.


Saturday Mom, Layla and i went to grangeville to watch the parade. This is her yelling at one of the floats in the parade! She loved watching all the people around her. It was so hot though that we went home after i stood in line for a lions burger for 1/2 hour! They are sooo worth it though!


I had been making an Afgahn for Layla for a couple weeks and this weekend i finally finished it! Those are small Octagons i had to crochet then sew them all together in the right pattern.


Layla and I went up to moms house on thursday, that night Ron, Chelle, the twins, Layla, Mom and I all lit sparklers on moms porch. Layla kept trying to reach for the sparks!

10 months old!

Layla has so many different faces she makes, its so funny to watch her now! She is saying "ot ohhh" when she drops things, she just started saying "heyyyy" when you walk in the room. She has started cuddling alot more too. She is still just army crawling but doesnt have a problem getting around at all.
