Settling in, again.

So we're all getting adjusted to Lyla's new daycare and mommy's new commute/schedule. We didn't get to be with her as much last week since Grandma Katie and Papaw were so nice to take care of her while we secured a good spot for childcare. We missed her soooo much, it hurt. So glad to have her back home every night. Lyla really is such a good baby, we are so proud. Can't wait till the little stinker sleeps through the night though. My friends tell me it won't be much longer till she does. Her 4 month check up is on the 12th of September so I can't wait to see how much she weighs now. She's growing so fast. Her latest developments are ROLLING OVER from her tummy to her back, LAUGHING out loud (mostly at Daddy's funny jokes), and she is clearly REACHING for objects (lately it's her feet). At her new daycare, Ms. Karen is working on getting her on a schedule. Ms. Karen has been watching little ones for over 20 years. I have complete confidence in her ability to handle whatever they throw her way. Lyla is the 5th baby at daycare and she seems to love being around the older babies. When I pick her up, she is truly ecstatic about all the activity around her. She is usually laughing loudly and talking quite a bit. When I hold her in my lap, all the other babies surround her and try to "pet" her. They seem to really like her. She's a cutie, its no wonder.

EXCLUSIVE Never before seen footage!!!

I just had to broadcast this video for all of our friends and family to see. It's hillarious! Laura doesn't start her new job until next week, so she has had the entire week off to spend with LJ. Let me tell you folks... this is what I call ENTERTAINMENT. (And YES they have obviously spent most of their time indoors this week... and NO Laura hasn't gone "loco"). Please enjoy!!

Summertime Blues

Lyla is closing in on her 3 month mark and she's becoming a little charmer! We went up to Denison this weekend to see Grandma, Papaw, Aunt Jenny and Brendan. She loves to smile, laugh, and drool on everyone. She even tries to talk by making light baby conversation (or cute noises if you are not fluent in "baby") with you! We are also very proud of Lyla's big blue eyes or her "Summertime Blues". They really stand out and sparkle back at you when she's dressed in bright, colorful outfits. Lyla even got a chance to take a dip in Grandma and Papaw's pool! We think she liked it, but I think most would agree that 104 degree temperatures can only be experienced briefly. Still, we managed to take some great pictures...Be sure to check out the new slideshow added above with a collection of our most recent favorite moments!
