It snowed today. Laila was mesmorized as she layed on her changing table looking out her window. "What is the white stuff?" we kept asking her. She answered with all kind of ideas. She is talking up a storm the past few weeks and it is amazing. I love her little voice. :)
Saturday Oct 25 we went to our annual Pumpkin Carving Party. It was Laila's first experience and she loved it. (ok she slept through most of it) But she got to play with her Auntie Libby and Auntie Melissa. She also got to see her cousin Locke, who is just adorable.
My new job is going great! I am so much happier then I was at Qwest. I get to sit with one of my very good friend, Victoria, all day :) so that makes it even better! This is Victoria's last week at work. She is very pregnant and her baby is due Nov. 1. Laila is so very excited to meet her new little friend!
Laila is so big! She is 3 months old now. She blows spit bubbles (which we find so cute), she giggles and talks all the time. She is still getting up once a night to eat...but Steve and I are surviving. We are pretty used to it and we trade off nights so we do get to sleep quite a bit.
Just in the last few days, Laila has really become aware of things like her toys. She loves rattles and the little animals on the tray of her swing. We got her a new blanky with a little bear attached and she loves it!
I have tried to add pictures for about 15 minutes and it isn't working so I will have to try again in an hour or so.

News Flash.....
Good News!!! I got a brand spanking new job! :) I am so very excited! I start October 20th and my hours will by 7:45 am - 430pm. I can't, honestly, tell you how very relieved I am. I will get to spend more than one hour a night with my perfect little baby girl. She has been missing her mommy terribly lately.
I am working at US Bank in the ACH Forgery department. In addition to getting a great new job with amazing hours... I get to work next to one of my best friends!! Victoria and I met at Wells Fargo 2 years ago this Thursday, Oct 16th. I am pleased to say it is our 2 year anniversary :)
One a different note, Laila is doing great. Last week we thought she may have had pink eye because there was a case at daycare and she was very gross and goopy. We took her to the doctor and while we aren't sure if she did have pink eye, the doctor found she had an ear infection. Which explains her irritability the past week or so. Luckily, we caught it very early and it wasn't too bad. A few doses of antibiotic and she was feeling as good as new!
She is talking up a storm and smiling all the time. We have lost the camera charger..so no new photos....I have made it my only duty to find it this week. (or go buy a new one). I promise new pictures by next weekend.
Laila misses her Grama and Grampa Janish and can't WAIT to see them in 2 months in Texas :)

Update!!!
Wow! Laila is 10 weeks old! We have had a very crazy month and we haven't had a chance to update very often. Laila and Steve have been fighting through illness. They are both finally coming out the other side.
At Laila's 2 month check-up she weight 10 lbs 12 oz and was 23'' long!! That is 2lbs 14 oz and 3.75'' longer then when she was born! She was 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height! We think she is going through another growth spurt as she is sleeping and eating much more the past few days!
Currently, Steve and I are watching the Vice Presidential Debate. And since this is OUR blog, I can say, that my head is about to explode from frustration from the ramblings of Sarah Palin. We may be moving Laila to Canada if she somehow, someday becomes President (even if by default).
Tangent.....sorry.
We will get some pictures up of Laila soon. Love you all!

One rough week.
I am sorry that we have been absentee lately. We have had a rough few weeks and I have been trying to make ends meet. I have been dealing with a little post partum depression and have been seeking help with that. After we got that under control we got a call Sunday morning from Steve's mom letting us know that his grandmother was not doing well.
We immediately decided that we needed to go down to be with her. We packed up and headed out a few hours later. We got down there in time to have Grandma Schryer see her youngest great granddaughter. It was one of the most amazing and precious moments I have ever experienced in my life.
We stayed the night and headed back the next day. We got home very late on Monday night. In the wee hours of the morning I woke up with flu-like systems. I won't give details but...it wasn't pretty. We stayed home Tuesday and slept all day. We were both physically and emotionally exhausted. It was exactly what we needed.
Wednesday we found out that Grandma Schryer had passed away in her sleep around 3:30 am. Although it is very sad, it was a sense of relief that she was not suffering anymore. Both Steve and I worked all day to keep our minds busy.
Tomorrow we will head out to Wessington Springs, Sd for 5 days to spend time with Steve's family. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. See you next week!

Back to Reality
Well, reality has truly set it. I am back at work and I am not enjoying it! It was my first full week back this week and it was harder then I could have ever imagined. I miss Laila so much and I am having a hard time being apart from her. Steve of course already had to go through this so he is doing ok with it.
On the upside, Laila really does like daycare. She smiles almost everyday we walk in the door. And the girls there just LOVE her. She has had a bit of a cold this past week (as have I), so we are struggling with that.
Right now, Laila is out with Grandma and Grandpa Tarasar at my mom's great aunt's 70th birthday party. Steve and I are catching up on laundry and other various housework. Ok, we aren't really. I am blogging and Steve is watching the Vikings game. :)
We have a lot coming up in the next few weeks. Next weekend I am hosting a baby shower for my good friend Victoria, then the next weekend it is off to Mitchell, SD to see Laila's Great Grandma Schryer. The first week in October Steve and I are going to a concert and a housewarming party. Then we week off (thanks goodness!) but then it is off to Chicago for Steve's birthday. We are very excited to see the Jensens and meet little Prentice!
Well, back to folding laundry and gearing up for another LONG work week!
This is our weekend look :) taken this morning.

Labor Day
Wow, what a crazy week we have had! It all started last Friday when Scott and Tanya Janish (Steve's brother and sister in law) flew in from D.C. We picked them up at noon and headed back to our house to meet Marissa (Steve's sister).
We had a jam-packed weekend planned which included Steve's annual fantasy football draft. Steve's friends arrived from all over the country for this event...Vegas, DC, Florida and Chicago! It was really great for them to be able to see little miss Laila.
Around 3:00 pm (sidenote: Wanted to leave at 12:00 pm...but..) Tanya, Marissa, Laila and I left the boys to their devices and headed up to the cabin. We didn't make it there until 8:30 pm...normally at 2.5 hour drive that turned into a 5.5 hour drive. Wow. We got a few interesting phone calls and texts from the boys at the draft but it was a mostly uneventful evening filled with margaritas and campfires.
The guys (steve and scott) arrived the next day around 1:00 and we just hung out for most of the day. That evening we headed up to the local bar on the lake, The Bungalow, for cocktails and entertainment.
Sunday was filled with sunshine and boating. My mom watched Laila from about 12 -6 and we took the boats out on the lake! We went skiing and tubing....and attempts at wakeboarding. :) It was wonderful and I even got a little bit of a tan!
Monday we all headed home and went our separate ways until we meet up again in Texas for Christmas! Laila had a great time meeting all of her Grandpa's family. She got to meet her Great Grandma Audrey and her little cousin Anna! We will post more pictures later..there are a few hundred! :)

Minnesota State Fair
Steve and I went to the State Fair last night. We brought Laila to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the night. She had a great time and so did we! We have been so blessed that my parents are willing to watch her so we can have some time alone and do some things that we enjoy.
We met up with my cousin Libby and her husband Derek as well as my brother Andy and his girlfriend Ashley. We watched Brandi Carlile and escaped with only a few fried foods :) We also went up on the ride (I don't remember the name!) after it got dark where you can see both city's skylines. It was beautiful.
It really was a wonderful night. Perfect weather, good music and great company! What could be better? Steve said multiple time that he missed Laila... :) he is too cute, right?!
As always...pictures!
