creative SOUL

so i was just on pinterest [of course, what else would i be doing?!] and i got distracted by a blog that i repinned a pic from [It's A Shabby Thing]. as i was reading she said something that is defintely so true--it's hard for a creative soul to sit still. i agree! well, besides all the hours i spend on pinterest...but that's where i've been getting all my ideas lately. there is so much i want to make but a certain little person is taking up most of my time these days:) i want to make everything! i think once i get a routine down i will be able to make more things.

side note: yesterday greg and i went to the tour de fat [a fun lil bike "race", people dress up and ride cool bikes] anyhoo, a girl working at the recycling stand asked how old layla was and she said she was a nanny and the parents did sleep training...i think i wanna do that. i need to hit up barnes & noble.

so here is something i made the other day, it took 2 days...but got it from pinterest. i like it. i got a little crazy with sanding [that happens a lot...] but it looks oldish which is what i was going for...

it says: chocolate doesn't ask silly questions chocolate understands:)

hopefully more to come sometime...

more pictures...

here are some pix of baby layla. mostly for those of you who don't have facebook [katie;)]

one week old

i want to try to do this every month to keep track of how much she grows! i think it's cool. there are a lot of ideas on pinterest too:) here she is 1 week and 2 days old.

i thought her feet looked funny...

this is what happens when you go out of town without the vibrating bouncy chair...you get creative.

i found a vibrating back massager and it worked like a charm:)

everyone has to take one of these pix i feel.

got it.

this face cracks me up! i'm not sure what she was doing, perhaps about to have an explosion.

stella keepin layla company.

i kinda feel like stella scares layla tho sometimes...stella gets all up in her business, of course.

so this day i gave up on clothes. i think i changed them like 2 or 3 times because diapers kept leakin and so i just wrapped her up in a blanket and called it good.

thank goodness we live in phoenix az where this is somewhat acceptable...only in the house. not at the grocery store, people!

tummy time! not a fun time at all. if pictures could have sound with them you would hear layla screaming her bloody head off.

she hates it.

but there lays stella, patiently doing her job of supervising.

parental supervision is required for tummy time, you know.

she does some weird things while she sleeps:)

that's all for now!

let's see if i can get a shower in today sometime.

doubt it.

LBL

i think i've come to the conclusion that rikenna and i don't mess around when it comes to taking pictures.

5 days old and we hopped on it!

so happy we did.

she is so itty and cute...never again will she look like this!

enjoy the layla!
