Layla Grace turns 5 months!!

Layla Grace is 5 months old, which means she's almost a half a year old, which means she's almost a year old which basically means she's a grown up with a job. Too dramatic? Well...that's how it feels sometimes. 

Layla at 5 months old:

-She has changed so much this month. It's crazy to see how much she has come out of her shell. 

-With that being said, Layla is already a really laid back person. She's a very quiet baby & just overall very "chill"

-Layla has TWO teeth. She's been teething since she was 2 months! So finally some teeth popped out. She definitely has more coming in and she lets you know when she is hurting!

-She is the hardest baby to give Tylenol to. She just spits it right out. It's a miracle to get her to take some. 

-She chews on everything! Hands, feet, toys, blankets...it all goes in her mouth. 

-She ADORES her sister. She loves watching her and always laughs and smiles at what Stassi is doing. 

-She is a daddy's girl. Daddy can get her to stop crying almost immediately. 

-She sleeps through the night thank God! She is such a great sleeper...always has been!

-She loves watching TV and loves watching daddy play basketball on play station. 

-She has really strong legs and is able to stand straight up (she just needs some help on her balance) 

-She can roll from her back to her tummy and her tummy to her back but she is stubborn about when she'll do it or not. 

-She loves music and when the pastor preached at church. She dances and moves her body back and forth. She has big wide eyes when she is listening to the preaching. It's pretty cute. 

-She loves sitting in her bumbo. 

-She eats baby food and drinks 6 ounces   

-She has never been on a feeding schedule. Home girl eats whenever she is hungry and it's always a weird pattern. 

-Poor baby gets scared so easily. If Stassi says "hi" too loud sometimes, she starts crying lol

-She talks & laughs to herself in the mornings while we get ready. 

-Layla is so calm in swim class. She loves just being in there and kicking her little legs. 

Layla is such a sweet baby. Our sweet brown eyed baby girl. We are so blessed to have you a part of our family sweetheart. Thank you for blessing us so much. We love you!! 

Stassi Is 16 months!!

Stassi turned 16 months on the 24th of November. The older she gets the more bitter sweet it is. I can't believe this beautiful girl is growing so much right in front of my eyes. I hate it but love it. It's such a crazy feeling. 

Stassi at 16 months:

-Is extremely sassy. A diva. She marches to the beat of her own drum and I love that about her, but sometimes that causes her to not listen and that drives mommy and daddy nuts! Lol

-Says so many words I've lost count. She's a talker. I love the way she says thank you, please, shoes, banana and of course mama! ;)
