I can't believe that in a few weeks, we will have a 2 year old! Our little baby girl is getting so big. I truly understand what people mean when they say "don't blink". Two years ago I was eating eggplant, bouncing on a yoga ball and monitoring my blood pressure. Layla was kicking my ribs, hiccuping constantly and preparing to lock down and stay in my belly forever. In her baby book we wrote that we thought she'd be a perfect combination of both of us...with dark hair and dark eyes. Boy were we wrong! ;o)
Because we are going to be so busy with Christmas and her upcoming birthday celebrations, I wanted to post a blog of Layla fun facts. Things that we absolutely, positively love and cherish about her. So here we go!
1. If given the option she would live off of chocolate, ice cream and crackers
2. Her favorite book is "Where the Wild Things Are"
3. She likes to dance in the living room to Lady Gaga
4. She must have 18 things in her crib to sleep with every night
5. Blowing her own nose and brushing her teeth make her so proud
6. She can identify the letters a, e, i, o, s and loves to count 1, 2, 3 GO!
7. Will not hold hands in public
8. Talks in her crib until 10:30 pm...no matter what. Wakes up at 9 am...and is not a morning person
9. Playdoh is her favorite toy/activity
10. Likes to run around with a hat over her eyes and run into furniture.
11. She sings a song she made up about Oscar and Moose in her Dora microphone
12. Gives her fish, Hook, kisses almost every day by kissing her finger and putting it to his bowl
13. Loves the acoustics in the bathroom
14. She doesn't care that her hair is always in her eyes
15. Screams "get down NOW!" when anything is out of place
16. "Show me your teeth" means smile at the camera
17. She's an 80 year old women trapped in a 2 year old's body...loves to bird watch and feed squirrels
18. Thinks it is hilarious to tickle herself under her arms
19. The way she stands up when she's supposed to be in timeout and then slams her booty on the bench when we walk by
20. She talks with a Southern accent
21. The answer to "What do you say, Layla?" is always "More" (with the Southern accent)
22. Every night she insists on running circles around our house and us scaring the pants off her
23. Her favorite holiday was Halloween
24. She loves to help put away laundry
25. Putting jewels on Moose is a form of doggie torture
26. Prefers Eskimo kisses to "kisses on the lips"
27. Will only give an unprompted kiss and hug after a long timout
28. The concern she has when Daddy is away but the demanding tone of voice she uses to yell "MA!!" when I walk out of a room
29. Her eyes are gorgeously blue...with a spec of brown in the left
30. She sucks in all the air she can before we go out in the cold
31. Her hair is so long when it is wet, and so short when dry
32. Row row row your boat and ma ma mommy is a bumble bee are her favorite songs
33. Her biggest concern in life are the socks she threw behind her bed after nap (and I hope it stays that way forever)
We love you hippo. We'll eat you up we love you so!
