blue eyes

Layla has hypnotizing blue eyes. I love that her eyes have stayed blue. We were just playing one Saturday morning, and the light was just right, and she was so cute in her little onesie.

At this point (again, still catching up and writing retrospectively), Layla started humming a lot. She would just lay on her belly and humm or blow bubbles or raspberries and hummmmmmm some more. it's so precious.

ladies that brunch

We went out to brunch with my wonderful friend Lindsey one Saturday. I like to do this because it gets both Layla and I out of the house and gives Mike a few hours to himself. Layla was lookin pretty snazzy in her dress from Nana K.

 I so deeply look forward to the weekend. I love the time I get with Layla and I feel so blessed that our family gets to be together. 

Rolling over!

Layla started rolling over right at the beginning of July! What a big girl!!! She would work so hard to roll over, and then get FURIOUS as soon as she was on her tummy. But she was lifting her head and using her little arms to hoist herself up.

We went to a wedding at the end of August, and early July, we decided (after the drama of the ride to and from TN) that we wouldn't drive the 9 hours to Canada, but that we would fly. So we had to get the wee one a passport. We were trying to take a picture of her at home, but ended up needing to get one at the professional place. But here was my favorite of our practice shots.

 I ended up working on the 4th of July doing night observations, because usually the 4th is a big night for trauma, so it's great for my observations. It ended up being a low key night, but I did get to see the DC fireworks from the helipad at the hospital.
