Happy Halloween !

Halloween was postponed this year due to the early and first snow storm of the season ! Luckily Layna was visiting Daddy when the power was out for the first two days, and she was home for the last two days. When I finally took Layna outside to see the snow and get some fresh air, she thought it was funny walking on the snow and liked doing it.

Halloween came and went quietly. Layna was a Nurse In Training.  Nonna - not Nana - (Grandma Robidoux) and Papa bought Layna polka dot scrubs and we had stethoscope for the costume. The neighbors that we visited for some treats loved seeing her ! Layna did well, especially for one who didn't have a nap ! She was quiet, but would stood at the door and accept the candy and stare at the people waiting for more ! haha she was a doll, and I am surprise that none of the neighbors asked to keep her ! They just wanted to sit and talk with her ! I could tell that Layna liked the fact she was getting "stuff" (chocolate) from these people, and that they were willingly putting handing it to her and putting it in her basket. She only said "trick or treat" and "thank you" to the first house, and wasn't afraid of any "scary" decorations. One house had a ghost that made noise hanging from a tree, and she wanted to go over to it. Another house had a blown up spider and she wanted to touch it !

Because of napless day, she was getting a little cranky and wasn't up for photos, but here a few of her dressed up for halloween:

Happy Easter !

This past Sunday was Easter, and Auntie Rose and Cousin Connor came up to visit for the weekend. Mommy and Layna stayed at the hotel with them to keep them company. Saturday morning, Auntie Rose, Connor, Mommy and Layna went swimming. Layna loved the pool ! She would sit on the edge and kick her feet in the water. Mommy would hold Layna on her belly and say "kick" and Layna would kick her legs like a frog. Also, Layna blew bubbles in the water really well too !

So, Sunday was Easter. The Easter Bunny visited and left baskets for Layna and Connor. Layna got a Disney Princesses basket and other presents... the Easter Bunny had to make up for Christmas. Layna also did VERY well for her first Easter Egg Hunt. After finding a few eggs with Mommy, she quickly caught on and found the rest herself !

Daddy got Layna her first basketball hoop and (bubble) lawn mower for Easter !

The other day Layna got a VCUG test done, which is a test that they insert dye into her bladder to see if she has reflux or not, and she doesn't. This should be the last thing ever for her kidney. Layna didn't appreciate being held down at all for the to clean her and insert the catheter. She was screaming and crying, and pee went flying right into the doctor's face ! (like a boy !!) Mommy was in shock and apologized right  away and laughed silently with Daddy. The doctor didn't appreciate it, but realized she's just a baby...

Today Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa Robidoux had a yard sale. It was a cool day, but a good handful of people showed up. Not much of Layna's baby clothes and stuff got sold, but some other stuff of Mommy's and Daddy's did. Grandpa Robidoux made some money too.

Happy Fourth of July !

Happy Fourth of July !

Layna is celebrating her first July 4th tonight. Mommy, Daddy and Layna are going over to Daddy's friend's house for a little BBQ, fire, and to watch the fireworks across the Lees River in Fall River.

The Beach with the Girls

Layna has been so active lately ! The pack'n'play is up to keep her "under control". She climbs all over Mommy and Daddy on the couch, and when she sees something she is on the go to get it. She knows how to sit up now: the easy way - push herself up when she's on her belly, and the hard way - sit up. Yes, Baby Girl has some major ab muscles ! She is pulling herself up to a stand more frequently now, and she is starting to crawl on her hands and knees. Sometimes when she's on her hands and knees, she pushes up on her toes.

Mommy swears she knows when she's doing something she's not. She will stop doing what she's doing, look at Mommy and continue on. Also, Layna is "talking" a lot more these days. Her squeals that sound like she's about to cry are actually squeals in delight and laughter. She's a very smiley baby too...

Mommy brings Layna outside to relax and get some fresh air, and Layna just wants to pull and eat the grass. Mommy needs a big blanket to get the grass from her mouth. Layna's top teeth may be coming in because Layna is drooling everywhere and always biting everything.

Layna and Mommy went to the beach with Kim, Nina, Kait and Aislyn. It was a little breezy but besides that it was a perfect beach day. The water was perfect, and Layna dipped her toes in, which she loved. She liked the wet sand, and wanted to put it in her mouth.
