Janisch Week in Review

Let's see...what have we been up to?

YMCA Update-- The Y unfortunately did not work out for us. When Layla was sleeping, it was perfect. When she was up...not so much! I could not give Layla the amount of attention I would have liked, and I struggled to find a balance between the room full of kids (A LOT of kids) and my own baby. I may only have one short year at home with Layla and I want to make it as positive and guilt-free as possible :-) The Y was very understanding of my decision to leave, and even offered to keep me on call so I could keep my Y pass. How nice was that? I did decline, but appreciated the offer. I am currently fulfilling the rest of my schedule (finding a babysitter for Layla while I work my couple hours a week) and I have my last day this week. I may be on to a new business venture...I will let you know as it develops!

Ryan and I took Layla for her 3 month pictures this week. After her 10 day old pictures went so well, I was so excited about these pictures...I studied poses online, searched our town up and down for cute outfits, and was even pulling props from her nursery. Well, Layla cried almost the entire time. She is normally a very happy baby, but didn't have her afternoon nap that day and it was scheduled the hour before her bedtime (I know! I definitely learned my lesson!!!) Anyway, the photographer was very patient and kept shooting the entire time. I have no idea how it was possible, but the photographer actually got quite a few good shots. Below are her outfits for the photo shoot.

Happy and drooling in purple.

This ensemble below never made it on during the photo shoot...she was too upset

Her teacher outfit! Sorry for my face...Layla likes the sound I make when I do that.

With the basement craziness, Ryan didn't get too much sleep this week. He and Layla enjoyed sleeping in at Grandma and Grandpa Sloan's house this weekend.Ryan, Layla, Howie and I finished the last weekend of summer with a walk. Layla loves sitting in the stroller like a big girl. She likes looking around and talks and kicks the whole way. Here is a picture of Ms. Layla Bugs with her new crinkly toy and a belly full of milk!

Have a good week!
