Layla!

Here's my new sis! I love her so much!
She is 6 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long.
She was born at 2:23 PM on January 7, 2010!


This is the nurse who delivered Layla. Layla came out on her own
before the doctor could even make it to our room! This nurse grabbed her
and pulled her out because her head was pushed out even before mommy
started pushing!

Mommy did such a great job! She is a great Mommy!

Christmas Festivities

We've been getting ready for Christmas around here! We've been to see the Live Nativity Pageant, saw The Big Man himself and decorated Christmas cookies.

Eating cookies and icing with Mommy.

I just really wanted to eat the icing.

I wanted to put the sprinkles on the cookies without icing...they didn't stay on.

Icing my first cookie...so much fun!

Daddy was showing me how to ice the cookies.

I told Santa "Merry Cwismas". I wasn't afraid of him at all. He knew my name!!

Looking at Santa while waiting in line.

Waiting with Daddy in line to Santa.

Watching the Live Nativity..there were animals and lots of singing. I got excited when Baby Jesus was born.

I love playing guitar with Daddy.

Christmas Tree Hunting and Decorating

We went hunting for our tree and found the perfect one! I helped Mommy and Dada decorate it with ornaments and Mardi Gras beads that I found in our decoration box.

Our annual picture with our Christmas tree.

I was really interested in the guy wrapping up our tree.

This is where I was putting my ornaments and beads..I spent a lot of time on them.

I wanted to snuggle with Mama for this picture..I should have gotten her hair out of my face!

Sitting in front of the tree.

Snuggle pic with Dada.

What a pretty tree!

Mama and Daddy by the tree.

Dada snuggling Sissy...it won't be too long 'til she's here!

Got on my "Music Man" hat jamming on the guitar.

Pony!

Thanks so much for my pony Nanny & Pa!!! I love it!!!! I love you!!!

Halloween, Fall and Christmas Festivities!

We have been busy around here finishing up Halloween activities and then moving on to Christmas events! So here are some pictures catching everyone up...enjoy!!


Already getting hyped up on candy before we even go Trick or Treating.

Patiently waiting for everyone to get ready and the rain to stop so we can go get candy!

Let's GO!!

Nobody's home...next house!

Baby Rapper and Dada Rapper headed to get more candy.

Let's see what I got!

Snuggling with Mommy early one morning...she didn't want to be in the picture.

I always have to wear a hat when I play ball...today I chose my helmet.

Poppy gave me this hat...I love it and call it my "Poppy hat".

Give me sgetti...Give me sgetti!

Thanks Mommy for dinner!

I like to give my papies rides on my lawn mower...look closely.

Mommy just thought I looked too cute in my turtleneck...getting ready to go see Santa!

Waiting for Santa to arrive in his Hummer.

I'm too distracted looking for Santa to 'cheese' at the camera.

I see him!! Hi Santa!! (I have become obsessed with anything Santa).

I love the animals walking around; I'm not scared of them.

They were handing out cookies...yummy, my fav!!

I get to ride in the truck at the mall when I'm with Grama and Poppy.

Hannie was putting ice cream on my nose...I thought it was hilarious! (There's a video below.)

We went to a nature center with my play group. We are looking at different pictures of bugs...notice how we're all boys?

Running to find leaves with Max..he's so much fun to play with!

"Hand Mommy."

Look at the cool turtle!
