After my post last night I spent half the night awake remembering things about Layla. Things about our Little Layla: I remember the first time we met her and how tiny she was: 7 lbs at 7 weeks old. How she prefers to sleep with her head facing one direction more than the other. How she didn't mind mommy changing her clothes many times a day. How she tried on her Minnesota hat so she would know what to expect when she came home, Only she missed winter completely. How she likes to pat her head when you say So Big. How she LOVES the water and her ducky that she took a bath in. How she scrunches up her nose and laughs when she thinks She is funny. How she smells. How she thinks she can walk and will stand up right in the middle of the floor only to fall back down again. How she likes to hold on to my shirt and touch my skin when she drinks her bottle. How she likes to blow raspberries in the middle of the night when she wakes up. And most of all I remember how soft her skin is and how she did not want mommy to leave the last time I visited. I am so grateful that I have spent time with her and gotten to know her and am even more grateful that she is going to be our daughter. Today I am not thinking of what I have missed but rather what a wonderful addition she is going to be to our family.
Check out the video on the side bar. Steve made it and I am proud to say I figured out how to get it on here!
