Tummy Time, Pets, and More!

One of Layla's favorite things to do is lay on her back and kick, coo, and look around. She got a new playmat that she loves. Below is a video of Layla enjoying her new mat.



Now for the downside...we cannot get Layla off her back! She does not like being on her tummy at all. She used to scream when we put her on her belly and now she just lays there motionless. She does not even attempt to pick up that little head. We have tried the Boppy pillow but the same happens on that. A picture is below of our little lady who refuses to strengthen her core :-) (By the way I put her little hands where they are in an attempt to get her to lift her head)

So...I have been thinking and researching ways to succeed at tummy time....and what I found was yet another baby contraption. Ta Da! Here is the Lamaze: Spin and Explore Garden Gym:

Ryan isn't sure that I will really put little Layla on it as it looks a little crazy but I think if we go for it we could get a result that looks like this :-) Look at that neck control! I'll let you know if we end up purchasing it and how it goes. And now for some pics of Blue and Howie.

Blue in the carseat. He sees Layla get to go outside in the carseat...so maybe it will work for him :-)

Howie sitting like a little man. And he stayed like this for a long time. Too funny!

Now for some firsts...

Layla's first nap in her crib.
I was in the room with her the whole time taking all of her newborn clothes out of her closet..otherwise I would have removed the blankets :-)

Layla and Aunt Cassie after their first shopping day together. We really wore the babies out with too much shopping. Look at Layla's onesie...it says "Auntie's Shopping Buddy."

Now for a couple of pics of our growing girl-

Our little Sweet Pea- Thank you Cari for the cute outfit!


Happy Layla! We love all of the smiles we get now :-)
