Laila's toothbrush and Steve's Birthday

Laila loves to brush her teeth. This is one of the photos from her first time! We didn't have properly functioning computer so I couldn't upload it! But here is it! She is so happy when she gets to brush her teeth...and not so happy when it is time to put it away. Yikes!
I will remind her of that later in life... "you used to LOVE to brush your teeth! you used to scream and cry when mommy took it away!"





Also, here is out kitty. We found out today that it is a girl! We don't know what to name her yet, but we are working on it.
We are having more trouble with kitty names then we did with baby names!

It is Steve's 29th birthday today and he is currently out getting his hour massage. Then later tonight we are going out to dinner and a movie! My best friend Jes' sister, Jenn, is babysitting. She is an AWESOME babysitter and so good with kids! I am excited to have Laila hang out with her!

I can now promise more frequent updates and pictures! Yay!

Laila's First Steps

Tonight, we had a first. A BIG FIRST.


Steve and I saw Laila take her first real steps.
Five sweet, stumbling steps.

We were laying across the foot of our bed and Laila was playing with her toys on the floor beneath us. She stood up and scooted along the bed to Steve's bedside table. She picked up one of her birthday cards. (yes, we still have her birthday cards strewn about...we don't get around to cleaning up much lately) She started looking at the card, turned around to show it to us. Then started looking back at the car

d and one step ( I held me breathe) two steps (I hit Steve to get his attention) three steps ( I break out in smile) four steps (I look at Steve) five steps (I start to cry) and then BOOM! She falls on her butt. She looks up at us when she realized what just happened, a little frightened. When she sees us smiling and praising her she breaks out in a HUGE smile.

It was one of the best moments that I can ever remember and I am so glad that I was there!
