New Things All the Time!!!

Poor little Layla bug had her first cold the other day. Ironically it was about a week after getting her flu shot. She was a little trooper though. Luckily the worst of it was pretty short lived. Her temperature spiked at just above 103, but we got it back down to normal by the next morning and she was feeling much better. She has a bit of a cough in the morning and her nose is still pretty runny, so I have been trying to teach her how to blow her nose, however, she just laughs at me then flails her head around in an attempt to avoid the inevitable nose wipe. And of course, once she was on the mend, I got sick. Gotta love this time of year. Although this is the first time I have been sick in over two and a half years, so that isn't too bad. Now let's just hope Pete doesn't get sick.

I took these pictures just before she came down with her cold. Just couldn't resist.

Looking adorable wearing Mommy's baby dress and shoes!

Love the naked baby pictures

Layla has a few new firsts in the last week. She is standing all by herself, and is quite good at it. She is very proud of herself when she does it too. It is adorable to see her put her hands in the air and flash those pearly whites! Speaking of, she now has her third tooth coming in and her fourth one isn't too far behind. It is driving me crazy because just after it broke through she started grinding her teeth. It is the most awful sound. Now that it is in a bit more, she isn't doing it as much, so hopefully once it is fully in she will stop that completely, otherwise I may go nuts.

She just started saying the word "hi". It is so funny the way she says it. She opens her mouth so wide and draws out the word so it is more of a "hhhiiiiiiii", which is so adorable. And if she sees the cat or if I ask her, "what does the kitty cat say?" she responds with, "Yeow". I love it! I am so proud of her! Besides the couple words, she loves to babble all the time. It is hilarious to listen to her.
