Dick's Drive In

Laila's first visit to Dick's! (4/9/10)

Ready for her bugers! (4/9/10)

My dad and Kelly came up on Friday to finish up packing our stuff, and load it all up into a UHaul truck. We did it all on Saturday, the boys did most of the loading! On Friday, we went to Dick's drive in for dinner. It's a staple in the Seattle area, and Kelly loves it.

It's been a little hectic with the move, but we are settling in. Kelly is enjoying the new job, and I just started classes at the local community college. Hopefully our house will close soon, and we will get to move in!!

Great Grandparents

My mom and I went up north to Mountlake Terrace to finish packing up our stuff. We made time to go see my grandparents who live in Everett. They hadn't been able to see Laila yet, because they've had colds and they didn't want to get her sick. My grandma was so excited that Laila has blue eyes. My grandma has blue eyes, and out of her 13 grandchildren only one of them has blue eyes!

Two Months Old

I think she's done with getting her picture taken! (4/6/10)

So big! (4/6/10)

Laila is two months old! I can't believe how big she's getting. It seems to be going by fast and slow at the same time. I don't know if that makes much sense, but that's how it feels :) She just keeps on growing, and is becoming more alert and aware of her surroundings everyday!

Little Ms. Fancy Pants :)

My friends and family have been incredibly generous in the gifts they have given Laila, Kelly, and me. The outfit above is from one of my friends I went to high school with, its so cute! She got it from the Neiman Marcus (I don't know if I spelled that right!) store, and I just think its funny that my baby has an outfit from there, and I've never even stepped foot into one of those stores! Thank you to everyone for everything!!! We appreciate it so much!!!

Happy Easter!

Laila's all dressed up and ready to go! (4/4/10)

Happy Easter! (4/4/10)

Laila and I went to church with a friend on Easter. I got her a pretty little white dress from Target, and she looked adorable! She was really good for the first part of the service, but then I had to run out and change her, I returned for a little bit, but then she started melting down b/c she was hungry. I tried one last time to go back in, but she was to cranky. So, we got to be there for half of the service.

After church my mom, dad, Kelly, and I went out to a brunch at The Mansion. Its a big old house that's on a hill in Longview, and it over looks the Columbia River. Well, it would if the mills weren't blocking it :) It was a little expensive, so we all tried to eat as much as humanly possible so we got our money's worth!

She's a drooler!

We have so many things for daddy, I wanted to put her in on of her mommy things! (4/3/10)

Ready to head out! (4/3/10)

We are getting full usage out of the bibs we got, she has turned into quite the drooler! Sometimes its just easier to put a bib on, so I don't have to worry about changing her outfit three times! The only downside is that it covers up her cute clothes.

Out and about

Jailbird Laila! (4/2/10)

On Saturday, I met up with my friend Jen at Starbucks. It was the first time that she met Laila so I made sure to put her in the outfit that Jen got her. It was great to see her, but in Longview you meet all kinds of interesting folk, and we had an overweight man in overalls who was probably in his 60s come up to us and tell us his life story. This was completely unprovoked, he just walked up like he knew us, and started chatting away! After he left, we got quite a laugh out of it :)

After Starbucks, I went to a baby shower for a friend from high school. She is having a little girl in a couple months. It's her second baby, and she looks great, not even in maternity clothes yet!

That night my mom and I went to 'The Bounty Hunter.' It was OK, its a good thing I like the actors in it, or it wouldn't have been worth going to the theater :)

Nap Time with Mommy

I just love her little chubby cheeks! (4/1/10)

Kelly snapped us while we were taking a break from the day! (4/1/10)

I try not to do it all the time, but when I can I try and take little cat naps with Laila. I figure she won't be this little for long, so I have to take advantage of all the time I get to spend with her. She was a little cranky after her shots, but not to bad. She didn't get a fever, or seem sick, so that was great!

82nd Percentile

Puttin' her dukes up! (4/1/10)

Trying to check out mommy. (4/1/10)

I forgot to put in the last post that Laila went from the 28th percentile at her two week check up, to the 82nd percentile at her two month check up! The doctor was quite impressed! Luckily she was in the 82nd percentile for both height and weight :) On 3/31/10 she was 11 pounds 11 ounces and 23 inches long!
