April-Oct. 2011 Watching Layla

I have had the rare and wonderful privilage of Babysitting my little niece for the past 7 months, because her mommy had to back to work a few months after she was born and her daddy (my brother) has been running an internet business from home.  I have gotten to watch her 2 or 3 days a week depending on the time of year.  She is a spunky fun little girl!  Her mommy just got to quit her job to stay home with her!! So we will miss having her here.  Dallas loves her so much and when she was first born he couldn't hug and kiss her enough... but now that she can crawl... he is a little threatened by her.  He will say, "Layla NOOO!" or "Layla OUT!" and he tries to sit on her.  But he is really sweet to say "Rorry!" to her and softly rub her cheek.  They are only a yr apart almost to the day... Feb. 9th and Feb 11th!  They will be the best of friends.  Whitney also adores Layla and plays and loves on her like a litle doll.  It is soooo sweet.  We will definitely miss little Layla, but we are so happy that her mommy gets to stay home with her now! :)
