Layla's first Halloween

Layla Bean's first Halloween... she dressed as a little devil. Perfect! Dad was VERY excited to hand out candy and show off our little devil. Fun times.

I have TWO kids!!!

SERIOUSLY, having a 2yr old german shorthair and a baby IS like having TWO kids. Hudson is like a frickin' toddler. Constantly demanding attention and pulling funny stunts. On Sun a.m., dad slept in after pulling the night shift w/Layla. I was up feeding Layla, which meant Hudson was being ignored. I got up to look outside and saw Hudson sitting in the yard, along with BOTH of Jake's slippers, right next to each other, my jeans, and two of my shirts. The only thing missing was our underwear. Then the neighbors really would've thought Jake and I had a successful date night on Saturday! But that was his way of getting us outside. It worked, so props to him. Today, he REFUSES to come in the house.

Last night, Layla had a good night, so of course, HUDSON had to have a bad one. He woke me up by SITTING ON ME, literally. That means, "mom, move your ass, I have to poop or puke immediately." I couldn't do it. I'd just laid down after fighting w/ Layla for an hour and a half and told Jake to take him out. He did and back came Hudson. Not long later, he was up and making that barf noise that dogs make... I got up and let him out. Of course, I COMPLETELY forgot that it happened until just now as I was putting laundry away... there it was, staring me in the face. I pile of Hudson's barf w/ some doll parts in it (I gave him his own baby doll and he took his aggression for Layla out on it, apparently). Great. I bet this stain will come right up, since it's been there for about 9 hours now.

I've been organizing all a.m. and am ready to attempt taking a nap since Layla is out cold and Hudson keeps coming in and out, in and out, pretty much head butting me to come with him. Poor dog. I've already walked him and had one round of ball fetching, but that's not nearly enough. If only I could get him to work on the house cleaning.

Thank You's

Layla has lots of thank you's to send out this week!! First, thank you to Kelly, Matt and Teagan for babysitting for me for the very first time I've ever been left without mommy and daddy!! Mommy and daddy were able to get out of the house and now realize that Layla will not explode without them! I had a great time and am glad Teagan could come too!

Also, thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Sherman! They came to stay with me on Saturday night so mom and dad could hit the Best's Badger party in Madison. It was good to see the Best family and even get out of Washington county for a bit!

Finally, thank you to Auntie Theresa and Uncle Brian for the cute outfit (I'm wearing it in one of the pics you see posted here). I love it, and of course, so does dad... since there's a deer on it! Thank you for sending mama her next, "What to Expect" book too! She plans on using it as her baby raising bible. :)

Yes, she's wearing camo...

Yes, my DAUGHTER is wearing camo in the video we posted. Lovely, isn't it? It was a gift from a neighbor. Cute, but scary. Now she has a real gun AND camo. Mother of God. That will be the last you see of that... from now on, ALL GIRLY stuff. Pink, flowers, dancing, lace, etc.

Back to my busy day. Layla and I have lots to do. That's sarcasm.

Layla's Video Debut

Boo! Thank you Auntie Megan!

Here's a pic of Layla just chillin' in her very first Halloween outfit. She loves it... Thank you Aunite Megan!!! Even though it's supposed to be for a much bigger "little girl", it fits Layla perfect. She's no small fry, that's for sure. How could she be... she eats ALL THE TIME!!!!

Friday... that's all I'm sayin'

As I mentioned, I'm not going to do anything further on this blog that may jinx how things are going w/ Layla... with that said... it's Friday, which is a good thing. That's all I'm sayin'. :) Let that smiley face be a hint to you all ... and that's all I'm sayin'.

Latest and greatest pics of Layla... which will also give you a hint as to how she's doing. She's getting more and more wide eyed every day. Very curious and doesn't like to sit in one spot for too long... sounds like her mom and dad. Oh, and I'm sure you'll get a kick out of the pick of Layla and her dad... this is dad on one of his night shifts. He's MUCH more relaxed than mama.
