<div style="text-align: center;">Layla,</div><br />
It amazes me how fast the last six months have gone. You have conquered a lot in 182 days. You are a tiny little gift full of great surprise. You rolled over before you were three months old, now you are crawling all over the house. You shocked us all by pulling yourself up to a standing position. It is so cute to see all 23 inches of you standing tall.<br />
<br />

You weigh a little over 14 pounds. Dr. Melanie says you are as healthy as can be, just a petite little girl. Your little size comes with a few newborn habits. You still get up 3 to 4 times a night to nurse, you prefer to be wrapped up in your blanket, and sleep best when you are in my arms. <br />

</div>We have learned that you are quite the actress and your audience of choice has to be Luke. Whether you are spitting your food, projecting your pacifier, or squealing at the top of your lungs you seem to perform best if Luke is watching. He can turn your smile into a deep belly laugh just by saying your name. The bond between the two of you is amazing!<br />

We look forward to the coming years as we treasure every moment with our sweet baby girl. God gave our family exactly what we needed: a tender hearted, red hair, blue eye, beautiful baby girl full of personality.<br />

Happy Six Months Layla Faith!<br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001320; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Grandparents are an amazing gift to children. So many of my childhood memories include my grandparents. My grandfather was the first person to take me fishing, teach me my multiplication tables, encourage me to read, attempt to teach me how to drive a five speed, and walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. He was, and still is, such an important part of my life. After all I grew up and moved right next door to him, and now my children are creating their own memories with their great granddad.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001320; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> My grandmother has imparted her southern charm. Because of her I know that it is proper to: write thank you notes even if it doesn't seem necessary, always dress appropriately for the occasion, never wear white after labor day, sit with my shoulders up, how to set a table properly, and to always "keep on keeping on". I still smile when she fusses at me for not wearing panty hose with dresses in the summer, and hope and pray that she feels like she spent her money wisely on my etiquette school tuition when I was a teenager.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001320; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> I treasure all of our mother-daughter-granddaughter Belk shopping trips and am thankful that I was given the gift of therapy shopping. More importantly than southern hospitality, Granny Dot taught me how important it is to hide the word of God in my heart by memorizing scripture. My grandmother was the first person to teach me about missionary work in Belize, and she was one of my biggest supporters when I decided to spend a semester of college on the mission field. There is no doubt that my grandparents influenced my life in a major way. </span><br />

It all began on the evening of September 20, 2011. You made your grand entrance weighing six pounds and seven ounces. The moment you began to cry my heart overflowed with joy. Your cry was not ordinary, it was a sound straight from heaven. All I could think was that you were born singing. It was the most beautiful sound. </div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs3kVrPbdFKkSIIMXwIXqIBiBZBgGUN1mUIMeEAngE_fcxaKAYeednpGWLsk6W0EHAkxUcIX7CLu-GloY1qOBCwqGg4FTcF2cm1zzA2PBPmmEEL5g2U0I-ysmTaJ2vrx4P2QLpqcLeGByn/s1600/DSC_0718.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs3kVrPbdFKkSIIMXwIXqIBiBZBgGUN1mUIMeEAngE_fcxaKAYeednpGWLsk6W0EHAkxUcIX7CLu-GloY1qOBCwqGg4FTcF2cm1zzA2PBPmmEEL5g2U0I-ysmTaJ2vrx4P2QLpqcLeGByn/s320/DSC_0718.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
Our bond was immediate, you were able to nurse within the first hour and have continued to nurse every two to three hours since then. I love having that time alone with you. I have memorized every little feature. You are bound to melt hearts with your puckered lips and rounded cheeks. You have your daddy's eyes and your brother's long eye lashes. I love the way your left ear slightly curls, and how pretty your red hair looks with a bow. There is no doubt that you are a remarkable creation.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You have accomplished so much over the last two months. Your smile is contagious, it is not unusual for all three of us to stop what we are doing to come and watch you smile. Luke seems to amaze you. Your little eyes are constantly looking for him. You rolled over for the first time while he was playing with you. He was so proud of your big accomplishment. You love to snuggle up with your daddy and usually fall asleep in his arms. It seems that all the world is at peace when you are being rocked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj45FZ7MIIthGlEv9nti9wB6SNXGJUYhIfPmBo6qGURcJxI9FKcoEr1z96TgQFOdNcjq917IaBFC36BlCRkhxzd9D-VmQDfxkwQr5TrN3b5rDy0HBXQa5uKgA3bO58wddxBBAIiN37oDsN0/s1600/DSC_0110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj45FZ7MIIthGlEv9nti9wB6SNXGJUYhIfPmBo6qGURcJxI9FKcoEr1z96TgQFOdNcjq917IaBFC36BlCRkhxzd9D-VmQDfxkwQr5TrN3b5rDy0HBXQa5uKgA3bO58wddxBBAIiN37oDsN0/s320/DSC_0110.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The thought of not being with you makes my heart ache. I realize what a gift it was to be able to be home with you as long as I was. It was as if all the stress and craziness of life just stopped so I could focus on you and Luke. I have treasured every moment with the two of you, because I know you will never be this little again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xKCXA5Uqtk50UoiBbuq6zrS9CAqmlrEM1pEktlrMP7XhrKprwYVSEt-MP9PjYA-f1LRO1-CaNEjpzI3iSpSMJ1hSLiT6V6IuCrxbg-NukmW47hcSPqPw0X33iiUB5fOxOmWrHz92m1Vv/s1600/DSC_0663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xKCXA5Uqtk50UoiBbuq6zrS9CAqmlrEM1pEktlrMP7XhrKprwYVSEt-MP9PjYA-f1LRO1-CaNEjpzI3iSpSMJ1hSLiT6V6IuCrxbg-NukmW47hcSPqPw0X33iiUB5fOxOmWrHz92m1Vv/s320/DSC_0663.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have always wanted to have children, and after procedures, medications, and miscarriages we were perfectly content with Luke. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever laid eyes on. He fills a place and a longing within my heart that I cannot even begin to describe. His name means "bringer of light, morning, joy". He is truly the sunrise of our life. We both knew in or hearts that, even if we were not able to have more children, we had more than we could ever ask for. Thankfully God decided to bless us with one more precious baby, and bringing her home overwhelmed our home with love and joy. Watching Luke interact with Layla melted my heart. I knew that our home was now truly complete. I tried to capture the love through the camera lens, hoping we would always remember those first few precious moments of our new family! <br />
