Finding new stuff...

Last night Laela came up with a 102.9 degree temp. (That is her highest yet!) She still ate her dinner and we put her down for bed because she was exhausted. She went right to sleep with no fuss and a few hours later she broke her fever. (She even slept through a party at our house!) This morning she was fine, but got a little temp again this afternoon. It is so hard to know if she feels bad, because she is a little fussy but overall in an okay mood. We gave her some more Motrin and hung out at home today. While she was playing, Laela finally ventured out to find new things.

Yes...her mode of travel is the backwards slide, but it works for now. She was able to discover the tv stand, fireplace, and basket of toys! Keep on moving baby...there is a lot more around here to find.

Our crazy baby!

Yes...the picture is the right way. Laela and I were on the other side of the wall, while Ro was in the kitchen. Laela thought it was hysterical to "fly" around the corner and see daddy.

Our first Easter...

As each day passes, we realize more and more how much Laela Grace is a blessing and miracle in our lives. She truly brings happiness to us and others around her. We are so thankful to be celebrating our first Easter together, with many years to come!
We visited family today too. Everyone brought food and Laela ate mashed potatoes. She loved them! Her Nanna also gave her a taste of chocolate cool whip...YUCK! Here is Nanna and Laela's cousins, Mikaila and Makenzi.Oh man! Laela got a fantastic Easter present from her Gramps and Granna....a baby doll cradle with a bunny. She loves them both and I can't wait until Laela is old enough to rock her baby to sleep in the cradle. Then, it was too muddy for an outside egg hunt, so we hid them inside. The kids still had a blast and with Ro's help, Laela caught on very quickly! She thought the eggs were fantastic little toys! Anything round that can fit into her mount is a PERFECT toy.

When we got home, Laela went through few of her eggs and she found this folded up inside...A $2.00 bill! (Thanks Granna!)

Finally, we ate dinner and played with the eggs a little more. Overall, Laela had a super-duper Easter. Thanks to everyone and Happy Easter to all!

My favorite book!

Here is Laela reading our favorite word book. The Jumperoo is a weird place for her to read, but you do what you have to. She was interested, so I took the opportunity!
Oh...I forgot this one too. We all went on a walk the other day. It was a beautiful day and very sunny, so of course we needed our sunglasses. Well...she has now figured out how to take them off so they did not last long; however, she held on to them for the entire ride! (PS - Ro said that Laela looks more like me in this picture. Do you think it is her thighs he is referring too?)
