HAPPY EASTER!!

We had a great Easter! Layla's Uncle Tim, Aunt Lisa and cousins came to visit and celebrate Easter with us! We had a blast spending time with them....especially Layla. She just loves to play with her cousins and give them Lots of Kisses!! During there visit Layla was starting to walk more...since she had to keep up with her very fast cousins:-) We counted 17 steps!! 

Layla is now walking more than crawling. At times she likes to hold onto one of our hands to walk...its too cute!

 In the last few weeks Layla has been doing SO much:

Says "Car" and points at our car! (all her words: Da-da, Ma-ma, Pop, Ga (Grammy), Car, baba (bath), Vac (vacuum), Do (Dog) and Sa (Sam)!

When you tell her it is bath time she will say "ba ba" and crawl/walk to the bath..(she has been doing that for awhile)

Points to many objects that you ask her "where is ...."

Points to things she wants or would like to have!

She knows all her stuff animals by name....she will get the one you ask for. 

She shares everything!!!...and gives you anything you ask for!

Shows you where her belly-button is when you ask and pulls on our shirts to see ours...we are working on nose:-)

And of course....Gives LOTS of KISSES!!
