I think this is the cutest and funniest thing I have ever seen Jayla do... Normally I can't catch pictures of her like this, but this was priceless... Have fun with this one and comment away...

Our Lives This Week
So I am in the process of trying to get Jayla out of our bed and into her crib... I have started the process with naps, but I definitely haven't been keeping that up as much as I would like... So yesterday I am starting the process of having Jayla sleep in the crib until she wakes up and then sleeping with her in the same room (we have an extra bed in her room)... Yesterday she slept in the crib for two hours, but thats a start considering she use to wake up everytime you put her down in the crib... I will continue to do this because I don't want to do the cry it out method... Its simply not something I can do with Jayla or any child for that matter...
Last Friday I watched my nephew... It was definitely a new experience because I'm not use to having two kids here under the age of one... Jayla loves her little cousin, but everytime he cried she cried... It was like she didn't know what to do with him and his crying because she barely cries now... She kept trying to take away his pacifier which was weird because she has never even used a pacifier (not that we didn't try to get her to use one)... It was cute but tiring and I'm glad that I wasn't here alone to take care of them...

I will try...
I haven't been on the computer lately so I haven't been able to update any of my blogs really... I can update from my phone though so when I am able to get on the computer I will do a picture update...
Jayla has been fighting her sleep which I'm not sure if its teething or what although the past 2 days she has been going to sleep at 11 and waking up at 6... That definitely takes some time to get use to, but its something I have to get use to all over again...
That is all for now... I will try to read some other blogs sometime today when Jayla is taking a nap...

My Little Girl Is One
A little over a week ago my baby girl turned one years old... It was a milestone in life that didn't affect her in any particular way, but overjoyed me so much... She had officially been on this Earth for a whole year and we had our ups and downs but not one second would I trade in any of the time that we spent together...
On May 21st 2007 at around 12:30am I was sitting watching tv eating my usual late night bowl of cereal... I felt something strange and something told me to get off of the bed... As soon as I got up my water broke... It was a huge gush of warm liquid that no matter the amount of squeezing I couldn't get it to stop... I went to the bathroom to make sure it was what I really thought it was... I went to the hospital that Saturday due to the fact that I thought my water had been leaking and was sent home with the same old same old that I was fine... Anyway after getting the carpet wet and noticing that it was indeed clear fluid I tried calling Brett because he worked nights... His phone kept going to voicemail so I called his supervisor... Luckily Brett was walking past him at the time so he quickly gave the phone to him...
Brett asked me several times was I sure that my water had broken since we had gone to the hospital about four times prior to this moment... I was pretty sure since everytime I stood up a gush of liquid would come flooding down my legs... So he said he would come right home and take us to the hospital... When he came in the house and noticed all of the wet spots on the floor he was sure that I knew what I was talking about... He changed clothes and we left for the hospital.. The entire time I never felt a contraction or anything... We got to the hospital and the nurses remember me from that Saturday night... They asked me what did I feel when my water broke and I said a huge gush... The nurse who took me to my room didn't even check to see when I left a wet spot on the floor to go change into my hospital gown... I was then hooked up to the monitors to see if I was having contractions which I wasn't and then told that they would start the pitocin...
I was on pitocin for the entire laboring time which was about eighteen hours... Jayla's heart rate dropped after each contract and they put me on oxygen and kept flipping me over on my sides to try to get her heart rate steady... They also put an internal monitor on her head.. They were kinda worried because I wasn't progressing past 4cm... At about 5:30pm the doctor came in and told me that they were probably gonna do a c-section... At that point I already had an epidural and justed wanted my baby girl to be healthy and safe so I told them to go ahead with the c-section...
Jayla Marie Boston was born on May 21, 2007 at 6:18pm... She weighed 6lbs 2ozs and was 18 and a half inches long... She was so little compared to what she is now... She now weighs 20lbs 14ozs and is 29 and a half inches long... Wow how the times fly... My baby girl is no longer a baby... She's been walking for a good three months and she looks so much like a little girl and less like a baby...
Birthday pics are coming soon

Bubble Fun
Jayla really loves bubbles... So much in fact that you can't blow them fast enough... So we bought her a bubble gun and everytime that she hears it working the bubble solution through the straw so that bubbles can come out she gets super excited... She loves to just put her hands up and try to catch them... Its really cute...
Popping the bubbles that land on the ground
Running to the bubbles
Such a beautiful smile
Our Visit To World of Coke
Over the weekend we took Jayla to the World of Coke for the first time... Although she wasn't able to test all the different types of sodas she did enjoy herself... The movie that they show in the beginning she liked, but she hated the fact that it was so loud and dark and she was crowded around a bunch of people... She did good for her first time though and I like the fact that we were able to adventure somewhere as a family...
