We got up early that morning and headed for the hospital. As with Gabe, your time of arrival was planned. The nurse denied Dr G's usual request for Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffet in the operating room and insisted on Josh Brogan. I had never heard of him but he sang the most beautiful Christmas music. You were born to "Silent Night".
At this very moment I can't remember the exact time, but I know we have it written down somewhere. Doesn't matter though. It's like you've always been with us; been a part of us. You completed us the minute you arrived. And you haven't stopped amazing us ever since!
Happy birthday sweet Layla Grayce!!
You are a busy little thing! At 6 months you started sitting yourself up, soon after that crawling, then pulling up and then crusing. Around 10 months you started taking some steps on your own and you haven't looked back since! Now you don't walk, you run. From me usually and after Gabe mostly. You adore your big brother and he you. I couldn't have asked for a better sibling relationship. You are an amazing sleeper most every night and you are ALWAY happy. Ok, lately you've been a bit grumpy but I think you are cutting a new tooth!
You have a wonderful personality and it is already shining. You point and say something that I think means "what's that"? You are especially interested in Daddy's ducks. You seem to soak in everything and I often catch you doing things that I never would have thought you ready to do - like copying Gabe as he bathes with his "paint". You take the container and pretend to rub it all over your belly - just like he does. You are a smart girl. You know the things you shouldn't mess with and always turn around and check to see if someone is watching when you do mess with them. You have the most devilish grin!! But we love it and we love you! Every single thing about you!!!!
I've been super busy with my photography business lately and Daddy is so good to watch you while I work. I try and get great pictures of you every chance I get. You are such a photogenic little thing!! I know I should be posting pictures for your one year post but I am saving them aside! I have a special plan and want to display your first year the same as I did for your brother. It's coming soon...
Layla your daddy and I are so proud of you and we always will be. We will be fighting the guys off at the door one day because you are beautiful both inside and out. We hope you have an AMAZING first birthday and many more to come...
