Layna Goes to the Zoo

We have been a busy family lately... Well, Mommy has been busy with finishing her school work and not keeping up-to-date. 

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took Layna to the zoo for the first time. It hot, humid, and crowded but still a good family outing. Layna just hung out without fussing. She loved watching all the people walking by us instead of looking at the animals. 

Mommy is starting to get Layna to giggle a little when she kisses and blows rasberries on Layna's belly, but she hasn't laughed yet. She is grabbing at everything and putting it all in her mouth, particular Mommy's hair. Layna is beginning to sit up by herself.... and then tips over. Her legs kick kick kick ! when she is on her belly and is trying to get to her toys and does move somewhat. Layna is becoming a thumb sucker, but she will also take the pacifier only when she has fallen asleep while eating and needs a little addition sucking. 

As playful as Layna is, Mommy feels she is getting a taste of what Layna is going to be like when she is older. She grabs at things and put things in her mouth and gives Mommy that "I don't care what you say, I'm going to do it" look. She is such a cute little brat in her own sweet way.

Layna is starting to get used to sleeping in Mommy's and Daddy's bed, but that will soon change. Her crib is finally going to be put up this week ! Mommy thinks Layna isn't sleeping well in the pack'n'play because it isn't as comfortable as a mattress. Mommy is ecstatic to finally get Layna's crib up !
