my BIG BABY girl

Today...Layla Jolean Thomas is 1 month old!! I cant believe..my baby girl is growing up so fast!! SLOOOOWWWW DOWN! Her accomplishments are...SHE SMILES ALL THE TIME! I know right??! Shes an advanced lil cookie!! This morning at 3 o'clock she didnt wanna go to sleep after she ate so...i sat her in my bed and we talked...she smiled and "cooed" back at me!! HOW CUTE!! She is geting her pictures taken tomorrow. I cant wait until we go to Ohio she will be 2 months and have her ears pierced. Man my Layla is growing soo fast!! She is starting to sleep longer at night time too!!

Just another milestone in the Lovely Life of Layla

SHES MINE!

By The Wa y....slideshow at the bottom!

1. Going to mommas work and im going Up Stairs. I got just Layla in my arms. Some lady walks up to me and says "ohhh what a beautiful baby!! Whose is she?"

SHES MINE!

2. Some lady wants to see Layla so I show her. Shes says "shes cute! wheres the mom?"

SHES MINE!!

3. Me and mom are shopping around at DD's and some lady comes up to mom and says "what a beautiful baby!"

SHES MINE!!!

4. At dollar tree w/mom and im holding Layla causes shes fussy! Im saying "its ok layla! mommy got you!" THen the cashier asks MOM "Is that your baby?"

SHES MINE!!!!

Messy People

it upsets me when someone lives in someone elses house and they are NEVER there but manage to keep their room a total disaster! Stuff like keeping bowls of malt-o-meal in a bowl on their dresser for 3 weeks. thats so rude!

= D

Hypo-what?

yes...Hypothyroidism. Layla has it! It means her thyroid isnt producing the hormone that gives her energy...thats why she sleeps all the time! so now she is on medicine...which i have to crush up and give her w/apple juice! its been making her suuuuuper fussy! she cant sleep even though she is EXAUSTED!! But..things are looking better. she has to get her blood drawn...AGAIN on december 4 and december 9 she has an app. with an endocronologist (sp?) but i know he will tell me her thyroid is better and she dont need medicine noooo more!

STOP SAYING THAT!!

I think she looks like Auntie LaSha...not daddy

Okay...for real!! Im gettin tired of people saying Layla looks EXACTLY like her daddy! NU-UH!!! Marie had the nerve to call her "Lil Gami"! OH NO SHE DIDNT?! OH YES SHE DID! HEFER! My baby does not look anything like her daddy or her mommy!! Its buggin the hell outta me! and im sorry...i just dont see it! Honestly...what do yall think?? Everyone at moms work thinks she looks JUST like me.....I dont see it either?

M.I.T. (Mom In Training)

Remember when I said so far being a mom is easy? Well..it is..sometimes! Sometimes I get frustrated...usually at night. I feel like im constantly spoiling her! When she eats for like 20-30 minutes she usually goes straight to sleep and sleeps for atleast 3 hours! NOT AT NIGHT! She will eat...stay awake for a while in bed and start crying! But..shes not hungry cause an hour hasn't even passed! The only was to keep her content is if I put her over my shoulder and stand! Then she sleeps...or MoMo has to do something that makes her sleep! IDK! I feel like I dont know what to do to make her happy! I dont want to spoil her!! Like just now...she ate for 24 minutes total...fell asleep and i put her in her bed....SHE WOKE UP CRYING! what made her happy? throwing her over my shoulder! but...i decided to put her in her bouncer and she fell right to sleep! I def. need more training on this whole MOMMY thing!!


On another note....


Layla had a Dr. Apt. on Thursday.......and "in one corner is the AMAZING LAYLA JOLEAN THOMAS weighing in at a chunky monkey weight of....6 pounds 2 ounces!!"

still...she only fits in preemie outfits....barely!

GEEZ....I have such a gorgeous baby girl!!

Im a Target!!

Ok...I have become a target for the most awful things!!! Tuesday I was changing Layla's DIRTY DIRTY runny poopy diaper on moms bed. YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID?! She shot a stream of watery poop right on my leg!! Didnt get on Mo'Mo's bed AT ALL! Just on my leg!! Then yesterday I was changing her in her bed and she was OFCOURSE dirty..so i change her and she shoots at me again (but i dodged it!). Im giving her a bath last night...take her dirty and wet diaper off and shes naked and i take her to the kitchen to start her bath....SHE PEES ALL OVER MY HANDS AND MOMOS BED!! She has it in for me!! I might as well paint a target on my tummy so she can get some practice in!

The Start of a New Life

So...my life is OVER!! But thats ok with me because a new life has begun! I am now a mommy to a beautiful baby girl! Layla Jolean Thomas! I have NEVER (not just saying this because shes my daughter) seen such a gorgeous baby girl! She nothing how i dreamt she would be...she is 10x's better! I couldn't have asked for anything more! and...i dont care what people say...my labor wasn't THAT BAD and giving birth wasn't THAT bad and waking up in the middle of the night to feed her is not bad at all. People are always saying its so hard being a mom...i dont see why they say that! Everything about being a mom is PERFECT! Its fun!

And im sorry for anyone that i didnt call when i had the baby. I was so busy with getting breastfeeding down, dealing with visitors, and trying to keep the SICK away!

By the way...Gami was sick and has been for a week...poor thing has apendicitis!! HE is getting surgery today = [!

Sleep Little Baby!

Shreai's got her hands full right now, so I'm trying to post a few new pics here and there for ya'll to peek at. Look how precious this little girl is! I am such a proud Auntie!

Leave some comments below for Shreai and Layla J. on how awesome that quilt is she's laying on. I wonder where she got it? hehe!
