Bikes, babies & ballet

Can you tell what Layla's interests are right now?  I thought that this picture did a pretty good job of portraying Layla at the moment.  She is very into bikes, babies (see baby carrier on the back of the bike) and dancing (see Angelina Ballerina on Layla's shirt).

BIKES

Layla loves her new bike from Cassie, Jamie, Shea and Liam that she got for her birthday.  She keeps a pretend cell phone in the basket and tries to talk on it while pedaling...yikes! 

BABIES

Layla loves babies, both real and pretend.  She told me tonight that she was glad Grady was out of my belly and that she likes him.  Thank goodness and let's hope it continues! 

DANCING

Layla dances everywhere around our house these days.  She goes from ballet to hip hop and bounces all over the place and always finishes her routines with a bow.  Her ballet shoes are already very worn in and I am starting to wonder if they will hold together for a summer of dance class and dancing at home. 

And so, as you can see from the pictures, Layla is doing well with the transition from only child to older sibling.  I know it is still very early on so only time will tell how Layla will do as Grady starts staying awake for longer periods.  She has been such a good big sister so far!

I am trying to figure out how to balance two kids (my hardest time is tending to both of them when Layla is in the potty and Grady is eating...I need one more hand and I swear I would be good to go!) and how to get out of the house a little to enjoy the summer.  I will let you know when I have it all figured out...I wish!
