Happy 2nd Birthday Leila!!!!!!
Well, our sweet little baby girl is growing up! Two years seem to have gone by pretty fast. She's talking up a storm, saying her ABC's and learning to count. She also loves to sing "You Are My Sunshine", "The Eensy Weensy Spider", and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", making sure to do all the hand gestures that go with each song. It's a lot of fun watching her play Mommy to her
many baby dolls.

Here's a snippet from Leila's life in the last month.

Playing with my new puzzle

Mama ordered these very special cupcakes from a place in San Francisco. I am very excited.

Which one should I choose?



Yum! I think I'll go for the chocolate raspberry.

I like to dunk my head in the water. Fun!!!

Enjoying the pool with my friend.
