Laila's Second Photo Shoot

All photos are courtesy of my friend Alyssa (Hansen) Riley. She did an amazing job! (All pictures were taken 2/22/10)

On the beautiful quilt Nana made her.

Getting some quality time in with little Laila.

Alyssa is so artistic! I would not thought of this shot, and it looks so neat!

She was pretty calm the entire time.

Her eyes are still blue, not sure if they are going to stay or not :)

This is my absolute favorite! She looks like she's dancing the 'Cha Cha Cha'! I can't believe Alyssa captured this shot!

I'm talking to her, she's debating on whether to listen to me or not.

So peaceful when she's sleeping :)

This week has been a bit hectic. I think that Laila is just realizing that she has lungs, and is learning how to use them. Last night was a pretty difficult night, she couldn't really be soothed, and wanted to eat almost every hour. Finally, after 1 am, she went down for a couple hours. Kelly is great at dealing with her when she's bawling, much better than I am. When she is crying, and we've done everything to calm/soothe her, it feels like my heart is literally tearing apart. As lost as I feel during those tough times, it's worth it when she is being a little angel.

On Monday, Feb. 22nd, Laila had her picture taken by the amazing Alyssa (Hansen) Riley. Laila did pretty good! We only took one little break when she got hungry, and we got some great pictures. I'm going to use a few of them for her birth announcements.
