Growing Girl

Now-a-Days, Layla Jade's favorite time of day seems to be bath time. She smiles and chats at us while she is being bathed, and even enjoys the taste of soapy water in her face. Tracey is normally the bath giver around here. He claims it as "Daddy-Layla time", even though Mommy is usually standing by just in case he needs assistance with something!


After it is all said and done, and Layla Jade is scrubbly clean,Tracey moves her bath lounger towards the back of the tub to give her some room to "frog around."She has recently discovered that the edge of the tube is good for pushing her little feet off of to make her paddle further through the water. She is particularly good about holding her little head up out of the water, so as not to plunge her nose and mouth in to it in a way she most definitely does not like(yes, she has discovered this much too! And was quick to readjust herself so she didn't do it again!) She is our little swimmer girl!

She has also found her legs and feet lately. She loves standing as long as her little legs will hold her up. When she has rested them long enough for her liking, she will demand to stand up again! It's amazing how muscular she already is! Her little arms and legs are strong, and her fingers! She loves to "fly" around the apartment with her Daddy, and do "Layla Lift Off" with Mommy, for anyone to walk her around and talk to her at any given time! I will post pictures of these favorites as I get them! She's a ball of energy these days, it seems! I love every minute of it, even when it's at 4:00 a.m. like it is now! She is laying on her play mat in the floor chatting! Normally, she sleeps through the night...at least 7 or 8 hours worth....but she had a 3 hour nap from about 7:30-10:30p.m. so I guess I asked for this one!
