Lady Bug Layla: UTAHN

MORNING PLAY TIME IN UTAH ABOUT 7:45 AM MOST MORNINGS

As of about 4 hours ago, Layla has been a Utahn for exactly 1 month. She has grown so much since the first time she came through our front door and into our hearts. Our love for her multiplies daily to new levels that we never imagined existed.
Some of her favorites include:
Being outdoors, laying on the hammock eating her brunch bottle around 11am
Eating, eating, and more eating about 3.5 oz every 4-4.5 hours during the day and 6 hrs at night
Tooting... a Lam family trademark... fits right into the Day family :)
Sleeping while being bundled tightly with her binki in mouth and new star gazing night light.
Story time at night when she listens to the story of her Angel mom who brought her here from heaven

LAYLA'S ANGEL MOM

Some of her least favorites:
Tummy time on the floor no matter how many toys are available for entertainment
Cleaning her boogers out of her nose with the bulb syringe
Cold wet wipes during 5am diaper changes
An empty mouth when her binki pops out mid nap

Some of our favorites:
When she stretches and squeeks for 5 minutes in the morning before actually waking up to eat
Her boisterous burps that rock the house in the middle of sacrament meeting
Going to visit Kevin in SLC for lunch
Her great big grins when she's dreaming away
Her hairy little arms and back that demand constant kissing and hugging
The list is endless!

Layla's accomplishments since arriving in Utah:
She's been able to meet almost everyone in the family and extended family as well as friends and neighbors. She has graduated from sleeping in the bassinet in mom and dad's room to sleeping in her own room. She's gained at least 2.5 lbs and if she gows any longer we'll have to start cutting the feet out of all her PJ's. She has been to the quilt shop, party planning store, bike races, swimming at nana's, shopping in Park City, the grocery store, post office, farmers market, Salt Lake, Work, Zoo and church. She always poops out the left side of her diaper at the least convienient time. She fusses and cries very little and only when she's hungry, tired or her tummy hurts. And she has stolen the hearts of everyone who has caught a glimpse of her.
