Life Worth Living: February 2009

Layla Jade is over three months old now, and amazes Tracey and myself ever day. She learns so fast. Her most recent achievement is her eye-hand coordination. She is goint to be a left like her Mommy, I just know it! It is her most dominant hand thus far. She likes to play with her 'Tiny Love' and all the dangly things on it! She is also learning to sit in her Bumbo. She is not particularly fond of it just yet, but she is learning quickly. She sits in it as long as it takes me to do my daily chores, give or take a bit.

She has also learned to enjoy her stoller, though it swallows her whole! At first she was not crazy about it, but she seemed to enjoy it after we got going in it. She slept through most of her first ride. Tracey and I have been taking advantage of this unseasonably warm weather, and taking afternoon walks with Layla Jade in her stoller. She likes to look around. It's a nice change of scenery for her little eyes! She hasn't gotten to be out much, because it has been too cold. So, now she gets to have new experiences outside. She seems to love the outdoors. Who wouldn't?

Her personality is showing more each and every day. She smiles and coos at random things. She talks to me when I sit her on my knees. She throws a tantrum from time to time. She is ultimately a happy baby. She's our little thrill seeker. She loves to do Layla Lift Off, and we lift her up above our heads. She's started to giggle a bit when we do this!

Friday, she got to go to Mom's (or Memum's) office with me to do some filing. She enjoyed herself there after I sat down and gave her a bottle! I put a blanket on the floor with a rattle and she went about her merry way! Then, we went to Memum and Pepops and they had a house full! Mimi, Denny, Aunt B, Thomas, Sarah Grace, Elizabeth, and Anna were all there. Aubrey (Aunt B.) came in to do Layla Jade's three month hand prints. Layla Jade did not like it at all, but her little hand prints are going to turn out beautifully! She got to spend some one-on-one time with her little cousin, Anna. They laid on a blanket and studied each other, talking a little here and there, and held hands! It was so precious. My sister is the smart one and carries her camera every where she goes, while I go and forget mine at home. So, she has all the cuteness pictures. Here are some of my pictures for you to look at.
