So much to say...

EAT!!!
Our new house!
I love Way-Ler!!!
Happy Birthday to us!
Aww...
Okay FIRST.. lets start with Layla.. 

Layla has been soo wonderful lately. She got her first taste of cereal and it didn't particularly care for it. She didn't know what to do with it in her mouth! haha.. She has been laughing talking and doing this CRAZY grunting noise. It cracks us up! Its funny when she does it in the bath tub because she gets all stiff and doesn't want to move. I swear she is going to say her first word any day now.  I have to be ready with the camera. I love that she is 3 months! Shes sooo interactive and loving. Every time Brian and I walk into the room she gets soo excited. She is laughing a real person laugh. But you have to be REALLY funny to get it out of her. She is starting to notice everything like the cats & people. She grunts at our biggest cats Oscar and Louis. But she LOVES little one. She got to pet little one and little one was purrrring and got soo excited! We read to her everyday and she LOVES her color book! Unfortunately the last 2 weeks every other night she wakes up at 3 in the morning screaming her head off. I feed and she passes back out. She's been eating her hands to death and I am pretty sure she is teething. Other than that she is pretty perfect. She loves when her dad comes home from work! She gets soo excited. She is starting to splash in her bathtub and smiling. She has her cute rubber duckies and gets amazed when they squeak! Her newborn clothes are officially to small. She is growing tall and is VERY skinny! haha.. I don't know where she gets that from! She also got a bumbo which she loves sitting in she's such a big girl. Also a bouncy seat but she can't touch the floor yet. She is over laying on her back! She loves to sit and stand. She is starting to pick her self up when Brian holds her arms. But I don't mess with that I am afraid she will break her arms! haha.. 

Brian and I's birthdays were last week and we celebrated by going to Roscoes Chicken n' Waffles and breakfast for his birthday. We also went to my sisters place for dinner the night before she got all three us a birthday cake. Plus, presents for me! She got this beautiful case for photos I can't wait to put it up in the new house. It was Layla's 3 month birthday on mine! haha... We also went to Venice beach for our birthdays. We left Layla with my parents for the first time. They did great. She was smiling when we came back home! 

His parents came into town on behalf of our new house!!!! We are in escrow right now and we are currently just waiting in the wing. We had a few bumps in the road but its coming along smoothly now. We will hopefully close by the end of May and we will be moved in the first day of June. I can't wait! The house is pretty adorable and its perfect for us. After 8 months of finding the perfect place. WE DID IT!!! I can't to paint and make it perfect. Brian and I are saving up for furniture. I am sure our apartment stuff will not even fill up that place. But slowly but surely it will come together.

Almost 3 months!

Mommy stop with the freaking pictures!
Layla & Daddy!
She has her dad's toes.
After bath time!

Layla is almost 3 months old and we are soo proud of her progress. She is starting to grab my glasses off my face when she gets angry its really funny! Everytime Brian gets home from work she gets soo excited. They love each other soo much. She rolled over for the first time last night and she did not enjoy it. She was like wtf happen!?!?! haha.. Hopefully  I will catch her in the act. We are still house looking urgh.. not so much fun. But we are still going strong. I hope we find something soon Layla deserves it! She smiles so much everyday. I have been trying to get her on camera but when the camera is in her face she does not enjoy it! We have been cleaning out her neck because its been hot here and she sweats easily so it gets kinda smelly. Which is normal the doctor says. So she gets peroxide, a blow dry on the neck &  neosporin. She hates it but she has to get it nice and clean! 

Talking Layla!

Not much!

Layla & I! 
Hmm.. So not much has changed in the last week. Layla is still the most wonderful baby! She had a Dr. Appt today She is perfect! Her health is great she is developing perfectly. She got 2 shots today and fortunately took them well. She cried during the last of the visit. She was exhausted! She is almost a whole 11 lbs & shes 24 inch long! Brian is going to be alone with Layla tomorrow night for the first time! I am going to my first party since I found I was pregnant almost a year ago. Sooo crazy! I am excited to get out for a bit. I have been struggling with certain family members all week long. Some not believing in what I am going to do with my future, others telling me to get married, and some making me feel guilty. I have had enough!!!!! I hope to move on from these comments. I am a strong person with an emotional heart which can back fire on me. I don't know.  I am going to set these people straight! I believe in myself and I am the best mom I can be! 
Anyways beyond that... I am going to start making baby blankets & fascinators! I am soo excited to get my supplies to get them started. There are plenty of boutiques in Long Beach to sell these items from which is nice. I will start slow and work my way up. We shall see what the future holds! I finally got my hair cut after almost a year. Thank goodness.  I feel way better about that. O and we are still house searching! Wish us luck tomorrow afternoon!
