Crawling!

Her "army crawl" or "scooting"

I figured I better put up video evidence of her "scooting" (I feel bad every time I write that, like somehow I'm using Scooter's name in the wrong way...when...HEY! It's how he GOT his name in the first place, right??) before I put one up of her crawling. However, I only have one, and she was in a baaaaad mood this day. So, she's crabby. But scooting. :) Enjoy.

At the gate:

Yeah, this doesn't make us look like parents of the year, with our child choking during and after the video, but things did turn out just fine. Hey, she needs to learn how to chew and swallow somehow, right??? :)

The video in which my family manages to butcher the "Happy Birthday" songs...yes, there are THREE...didn't you know that??

Party Pics!

A preview to a party...

Renee took AWESOME pictures with her camera, and most of the night my hands were full with Little-Miss-ONE, so this is all I have for Layla's birthday today...we'll call it a "preview."

Layla opening presents with "help" from her cousins:


Reacting to eating corn with a bit of spicy adobo sauce on it...we're pretty sure Layla specifically requested her birthday meal: Chicken Chilaquiles!


Little Miss loves to pull herself up on the coffee table and BANG on it...or quietly read a book while Papa and Mama get ready to go...
