Swim Class and Gymboree!

Layla is in swim class again with Daddy and absolutely loves it! The night we have class she talks about going all day long!! When we drive there she gets so excited when we approach the building...and says "Swim class right there"!! Layla has been waiting so patiently to finally wear her Hello Kitty swimsuit!! 

Getting the noodles to "ride"

Going down the lazy river!!

1, 2, 3...jump!! Layla jumps into Daddy's arms!

Blowing bubbles

 All done...Layla says "Hi Hello Kitty" ;-)

I can't believe that it has been a year since we first started going to classes at Gymboree. The other day Layla's teacher and I were talking about how when Layla first started she was still crawling!! We love going to class and Layla adores her teacher, Caitlin! On our way to class she says..."see Miss Kate"!! It has been great way for Layla to socialize;-) Layla is now in the Level 5 class that has a bit more teaching then playing!! Since it has been cold outside we have been going to open gym every week!

Some pictures from open gym!

One of Layla's favorites! 

She loves to rock on it with her friends!...especially a little boy named Chase;-)

 I also have been taking Layla to a "Little Gymnastics" class at our community center called Jumping Jelly Beans!! Layla really likes it!! Our teacher is Miss Sonnie and after every class Layla waits in line (very patiently) to get stamps (one on her belly!!) and a handful of pretzels!! Layla always says..."Wait turn" in line! After our first class...Daddy asked Layla that night, "Layla how was Jumping Jelly Beans?" Layla responded..."Miss Sonnie give pretzels!" It was SO cute. Now whenever we are going to class or even see pretzels...Layla says something about Miss Sonnie!!

Bows and Layla's Wagon!!

Layla is finally letting me put bows in her hair....Hooray!! Her bangs are getting long and I need to keep them out of her eyes...and she just too cute in them!!

  

Layla's silly smile!! When we say "smile for the camera"...this is what we usually get;-)

Layla loves eating at the Big table with Mommy and Daddy!! She keeps saying "Bye Highchair"!!

 And she Loves green peppers;-)

 Our Blue Eyed Girl!

Layla talking on Mommy's old phone!

Layla usually calls Grandpop and says...

"Hi Grandpop, How you doing? Bye Grandpop Love You"

It's so sweet...and melts Mommy's heart!

Layla's wagon is still in perfect condition...considering Layla thinks its a toy wagon;-)

2 weeks!

8 months!

14 months!

22 months!!

We can't believe that Layla will be 2 soon!! We can't believe how much she has grown!! No matter how much you grow...You will always be Our Little Layla!!

Layla's First Sled!!

We can't wait till we can take Layla sledding...especially Daddy!! We are waiting for it to snow again, since all of our snow has melted and it is 50 degrees! We hope next weekend!

We are ready with our new sled that Layla tested out in the store;-)

Giving Big Bird and Hello Kitty a ride!

I can't wait to go sledding!

I'm all ready...but no snow:-(

 

First Snow!

We had our first official snow fall this weekend! This was Layla's first time in the snow! She just stood there...she didn't move for at least 10 minutes! Then she couldn't get enough and wanted to stay out and not go inside!

 Getting ready to go out...my snow pants from Grammy and Pop (Thank You!) are on!!

 Putting on cousin Amber boots!! Thank you...they fit perfect!

  I just need my coat!

Layla and Nate!

We had Layla's friend Nate for a play date! We always have a great time!! 

Layla has been able to climb up on all of our kitchen chairs ("bar stool high") for awhile now...its amazing!

Layla waiting for Nate to arrive!

Finding a book to read!
