Ayla's Second Month

My little girl is growing up- slowly but surely. She is now two months old and is busy sleeping, eating, and gaining weight, leaving little time for anything else. We didn't take a ton of pictures of her this month, especially while she was awake. We did, however, take the following pictures:

Taking a nap on the beach at Cedar Key.

While Trent, his dad, and TJ were having their boys weekend at the beach, the girls were at home watching FSU play basketball.

Ayla woke up during the St. Patrick's day play group to say, "so many cute boys, which one do I choose?" These two twin boys had the same due date as Ayla but came a few weeks earlier.

Ayla loves to sleep at the beach. Hopefully she keeps this trend up alllll summer long because I love to sleep on the beach too. Here she is sporting her daddy's glasses to shade the sun at Jax Beach.

Ayla also loves to swing in the hammock. We like to swing during the day while TJ plays in the dirt. We also like to swing just before night time during Ayla's fussy hour of the day- the hammock calms her down real quick, and it is usually just the trick to get her to fall fast asleep for the night.

While at Lake Wauburg, Ayla chose sleeping over playing in the water with TJ. I'd say that was the wiser choice considering the danger lurking in that dirty water.

Ayla slept through the Easter egg hunt in Daytona.

At the top of the tallest light house in Florida, she slept through that too.

Ayla loves to be in her car seat when in motion i.e. in the car or in the stroller. I am willing to bet she was asleep under that shaded cover during our walk to the jetty in Daytona with Grandma Doodle.

Ayla woke up Easter morning (wearing her cute bunny shirt that Aunt Sabrina made) to see what the Easter Bunny brought. Turns out it was just a bunch of stuff she couldn't use so she gave it all to TJ.

After opening our Easter baskets we jumped in the car and headed to the park for another Easter egg hunt with friends from dental school. Ayla slept in Grandma Doodle's arms while TJ fetched the eggs.

Ayla got all dressed up in her Easter best for church. It's hard to see in this photo, but she is wearing a pretty blue, yellow, and pink, floral dress of Kalil's.

While we were in Jacksonville my mom took some pictures of our family.

I made some little grey and yellow shoes for Ayla to wear by following a tutorial I found on pinterest.

Trent loves to kiss his baby girl. 

TJ loves to give his baby sister kisses, too.

Ayla of course slept from start to finish. Our family pictures on the beach didn't really turn out since it is almost impossible to get a 22 month old to sit still. But we had fun trying. Thanks mom for the great effort :)

We think Ayla is just a doll. She was such a good sport to go along with all the happenings of this past month. We love her go-with-the-flow style and are so grateful that she does well in her car seat. Thanks Ayla, for joining us for the ride. It is certainly more fun with you aboard.
