I Wanna Be a Cake Party

Grocery List -- According to Layla

Layla really likes going to go grocery shopping now -- especially if she gets to ride in one of the "car" carts.  This has been the only way I can get her to sit while I shop.  Usually she would rather walk or be carried which made it rather difficult to get groceries.  She is trying to help so much, she even tries to tell me what we  need.  Her grocery list goes something like this:

Chicken

Cry-crys  (French Fries)

Mac n Cheese

Peanuts

Cake Party (ie cupcakes)

Not the best of options -- especially when your mom is an RD.  These are NOT the things that we normally buy -- other than chicken but we usually fix it many different ways other than "fried".   I think this just her "wish list" of things that we would eat everyday!

Apple Picking and "Punkin" Patch

This year we decided to take Layla to Larriland Farm and pick apples and get a pumpkin for Halloween.  She was so excited about the apple picking and did a great job getting a few off of the tree.  She was also really impressed with the amount of open space there was to RUN!!!  She couldn't resist taste testing 1 or 2 along the way!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!  (I know this is posting REALLY late but these pictures were too precious to pass up)

 

 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Layla!

We had a chance to go to KY for Layla's birthday this year.  We had a great time and enjoyed being able to share it with family.  My cousin, Beth, made her birthday cake.  Layla loved it!!!   She was so fascinated with all of the Minnie Mouse things!!!
  She loved having people sing to her but wasn't real fond of having to open gifts (can you believe that!)  She wanted to "eat cake".  She had a great time for her birthday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Trip to the Zoo

A month or so ago Brent and I decided to take Layla to the zoo for her first trip.  We went to the DC Zoo as we were more familiar with that one and knew what animals that she would get to see.  With each animal that we got to, she was so in awe..her eyes just lit up!  We have been working on animal sounds so she definitely got to put them into practice during our trip.  She seemed to really enjoy it -- especially the lions!! 

Happy Easter!

Still trying to catch up!  Layla had a great Easter this year!  She caught on to gathering her Easter eggs very quickly (we hid them in the house before she got up).  She loved finding them and then shaking them to see what was there (no candy....just goldfish!).  A little change to our Easter -- Layla didn't get any candy (trying to be a good RD mommy!!) Instead, she got hairbows, a Minnie Mouse and a movie!
