Bathtime for Noah

Dear Noah,

When I gave Layla her first bath, I was a nervous wreck. She screamed the whole time and I had no idea how to comfort her. When I gave you your first bath, I was a nervous wreck again. I wasn't worried about you crying, screaming, or rolling off the counter. I was nervous about one thing and one thing only - getting peed on. That is why your diaper stayed on for the majority of your bath. I thought I had outsmarted you.

After the bath, you peed on me while I tried to get you into your pajamas. Pee went everywhere: the towel, my bedspread, your hair and my shirt.

I guess you showed me.

Love,
Mommy

New Stroller = New Toy

Dear Layla,

I always knew the day would come would I could say, "Get in your stroller" and you would do it. I just NEVER would have thought it would be so soon.

This video was shot on the first day we got this stroller. No one taught you how to climb in and out of the seat. It was something you figured out on your own. Once you knew how to do it, you must have played on the stroller for an hour. It was your favorite toy of the day.

Love,
Mommy

Bein' Busy

Dear Layla,

You are always on the go. It's not that you are into stuff to make a mess and cause trouble, but that you are constantly playing and moving. Ya-Ya and Mama Jane have both described you as "busy". I think it's hilarious that they used the same word!

This video is just one example of you "bein' busy". Earlier in the day, Ya-Ya, Noah, you and I all went to Kohl's to do some shopping. Ya-Ya bought you several new pairs of pajamas which you loved so much that you had to hold them in the store and fussed when they were taken away so that they could be rung-up. After your nap, you were back to the pajamas. This video is only 2 minutes but you played with the pajamas for at least 20 minutes. Bein' busy is your favorite!




Love,
Mommy
