Laynie today is your 2-month birthday! It has gone by so fast and we are enjoying every second with you! You are smiling and cooing a lot now and your favorite time to do so is during your diaper changes. You also smile lots in your sleep. I like to think you are dreaming about Mommy since you usually fall asleep while nursing and I am the last person you see. You love your big sisters and they love you even more and are having so much fun with you. Your favorite things are your swing and Bumbo, being swaddled and held real close and tight, taking baths, and being sang to. You are such an easy going baby and do everything we do. You have traveled to Seattle, Dallas twice and Lake Village; you have gone to the movies and Larry's Pizza twice, visited the library, gone swimming and accompanied Mommy to Target many times! You are a night owl and go to bed around 11 or 11:30 and then sleep until 4:30, nurse and then go back to bed until about 8:30. You take several naps a day in your swing. We love you so very much Laynie!
Laynie is now 3 months old and is cuter than ever. She loves for you to hold her and talk to her and she will talk back like crazy. She has the chubbiest cheeks and the biggest thighs! I can't believe what a chunk she is! So much more to love and squeeze! She skipped the 3-6 month size and went straight to 6 months!
First day!
Kennedy started 1st grade on Thursday, August 19th. She is in Mrs. Humphries class and LOVES it! Only 2 boys are in her class this year that were in her kindergarten class so she is having to make lots of new friends. So far her favorite one is Alyssa. The first day of school she came home in such a good mood and said that first grade is so much more fun than kindergarten! She is going to learn a lot this year. She will have a spelling and reading comprehension test every Thursday and a math test every Friday. She won't have a spelling list to study but will be tested on certain words that have the vowel sound and letter chunks that they are focusing on for the week. She picked out her outfit for the first day and had to have this new backpack that she found at the Hanna Andersson store in Dallas!
Today was your first day at church Laynie! You swang your whole Sunday School hour while Mommy and Daddy went to big church and then I came and nursed you and we went to Sunday School. You swang that hour too! When I picked you up you had just woken up and had a frown on your face but when you saw me you gave the biggest smile! You wore the dress Mamaw gave you at my baby shower and the pearl bracelet Aunt Carolyn gave you. You looked precious and we will have to get Mamaw a copy of your picture for her refrigerator! All you teachers are so glad you are in their class!
