Laila J Crain: May 2010

Old Man Pants

Look at how high those pants are! (5/6/10)

They are almost in her armpits! (5/6/10)

I came home from school today, and my mom had Laila all dressed. I just started laughing, b/c her pants were so high waisted! They look like old man pants! I laugh every time I look at these pictures!

Uncle Michael and Aunt Sara Visit

Here we are out to eat at Hart-C's, my brother's favorite restaurant in Longview. (5/2/10)

Laila looks like a sumo wrestler! (5/1/10)

Sara helped me with bath time. (5/1/10)

Laila with her aunt and uncle. (5/1/10)

It's a good picture of Michael and Sara, Laila is not so sure about it. (5/1/10)

Like father like son, they think they are so funny! (5/1/10)

Tuckered out. (5/1/10)

Kelly getting Laila out of her contraption. (5/1/10)

She looks like a fuzzy little ball! (5/1/10)

My brother and his fiance came to visit over the weekend. Well, they were only in town for 24 hours, so I guess it wasn't an entire weekend. Michael came home to play in the alumni soccer game. Luckily there was a baseball field next to the soccer field, so Kelly went and watched that game, and wasn't to bored with the soccer! The alumni won, I think the score was 8-0. The alumni has won for as long as my brother has been playing with them, they have a good group of older guys that are still active and play, so they beat up on the young kids.

My brother's fiance, Sara, has baby fever BIG TIME! I think it's great, b/c I can relate :) She is wonderful with Laila!

We went out to lunch at Hart-C's. It's a Thai restaurant in Longview, that also has HUGE hamburgers. Kelly had a triple patty cheeseburger! And that's not even the biggest burger they have, they have the Colossal burger which has four patties!

More of the same :)

Again, Grandpa thinking he's funny giving bunny ears. (4/29/10)

Big stretch! (4/29/10)

Laila Plays Bridge

In her bouncy chair, and copious amounts of drool! (4/28/10)

My dad thinking he's funny giving Laila bunny ears. (4/28/10)

Hanging out with the big kids! (4/28/10)

'Hey Dad, what do you have in your hand?' (4/28/10)

Laila and grandpa and their favorite past time, napping. (4/28/10)

The Bumbo chair in action! We use it a lot when we are playing cards, or when I am trying to cook something. I can't remember if I've already blogged about Kelly and I playing bride, but I'm pretty sure that we are the youngest people in history to participate in the game of bridge!

Family Movie Time!

The Crain family ready to watch a movie. (4/27/10)

Daddy and Laila getting their spots on the floor for the movie. (4/27/10)

Cheese! (4/27/10)

I have no idea why this is blurry, and I couldn't figure out how to take it off! (4/27/10)

Its tough to get a good picture of us both. (4/27/10)

That's a little better! (4/27/10)

We had a family movie night the other night. It went pretty well. Laila didn't make it all the way through the movie, which was fine by me b/c the movie was 'The Punisher'. We are really getting use out of the baby moniters. In the middle of the movie we laid her down and we would check on her when ever she squawked or cried. Usually we just had to reinsert her pacifier, and she was good to go. She's been sleeping through the night for about a month now. Her bedtime is anywhere from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm.

The outfit Laila is where in the bottom two pictures is a size 6 mos! She doesn't fit all 6 month clothes, but this one fits her perfect!

Sleeping, Sleeping, Sleeping...and a bath

Laila in her bath, she can sit up on her own now! (4/24/10)

This is how I carry her around to get her to go to sleep. (4/24/10)

Out! (4/24/10)

Laila can hold her head up on her own pretty good now. It's making bath time MUCH easier. She can sit up in the little bathtub all by herself. I usually like help when giving her a bath, but I've been able to do it by myself now! She still enjoys her bath, she likes to be in the warm water.

The middle picture shows how I hold her when I'm trying to get her to go to sleep. My dad keeps on saying that she looks uncomfortable, but she goes to sleep every time I walk around with her like that. I usually end up with a lot of drool on my arm, but it's worth it :)

Bumbo Chair

4/21/10

Kelly and I ran to Target to get Laila one of those Bumbo chairs. She has been trying to pull herself up when I have her on my legs, so I figured one of these chairs will keep her upright, and strengthen her neck muscles. Since this picture she has really began to enjoy the chair. She can be put up on the table or counter top, so she feels like she is part of the action! It also allows us to get some things done, or play some cards :)

Owen Loves Laila

My friend Stephanie helping her son, Owen, hold Laila. (4/18/10)

We went over to our friends house to pick up a jogging stroller. They are letting me use it for a while. So, hopefully this will motivate me to get outside a bit more! Also, hopefully the weather will hold out so Laila and I don't get down poured on. So far the saying 'April showers bring May flowers' hasn't been so accurate. It's more like 'April showers bring May hail!' I know that doesn't rhyme, but that's how Washington's weather has been! While we were over at the Toms' house, their son Owen was in awe of Laila. He wanted to be near her, and hold her. When Kelly was holding her he walked up and said 'You know what? I love that baby!' It was one of the cutest things I've heard in a long time!
