From wet to wrapped

Two wet girls in the tub....

One who really enjoys herself....

The other who thinks its pure torture....
Pretty sure they are both happier all wrapped and warm

Love this little one...

Pace Wedding

KC's little sister tied the not on Friday August 13th. We are so excited for Katie and so happy to welcome Adam into the Anderson clan! The day was beautiful just like the bride and the festivities were non-stop. Congratulations you two...we love you!!

The night before we had a fun fiesta dinner...complete with Cafe Rio and a pinata.By far my most favorite picture I have ever captured of these two!!!

Jack gave a very nice speech...letting us all know he knew Adam would be a really good Uncle.

Maycee loved the dancing at the reception...She twirled all night in her "princess dress".

One month

Layla is growing like a weed! So weird to think a whole month has passed since graced us with her pressance. She is kind of a fussy little one...still getting the whole sleeping thing figured out, but we are loving her and helping her out the best we can. Love you baby Lou Lou.

Weight: 10 lbs 1 oz (90th%)
Height: 21.5 inches (97th%)

**just a little note: Maycee wasn't even 10 lbs at her 6 week appt!**

The girls...

Our very talented friend and neighbor Joy took some newborn pictures of Layla and two year old pictures of Maycee. She was able to get some really good shots of them alone...but putting them together was a little harder. We did end up with a couple good ones though...thanks Joy!! (sorry for the picture overload-loved way too many!!!)

I'm two!!

Can you tell she was done...love her pouty face

Love these two girls SO much!!

I don't care what you think...

I think she is SO beautiful!!!

(even with doughnut crumbs all over her lips!!)

One week...

We all love her SO much...
Even if she has her nights and days mixed up...

How she arrived...

Layla Ruby Anderson came to us around 5:00 pm on July 9th. After being induced and chillin' in the hospital for about 5 hours...it was time to push. Sally pushed four times, through 2 contractions, for 10 min and she was here! Such a contrast to Maycee...apparently Layla was ready. Makes sense, she was a whopping 8lbs 11oz! It was fun to have family there to meet her right away and so fun to see how Maycee first reacted to her little sister. The first night in the hospital ended up being a little rough...Layla wasn't eating very well and threw up everything she did get down. They ended up having to run extra tests, including a blood draw. At around 2 am the nurse finally let us know that she had amniotic fluid in her stomach and they had to pump her stomach...so sad. She was a happier and better eating baby after so I guess it was worth it. The rest of our stay at the hospital was pretty much routine with lots of visitors and we headed home on Sunday July 11th to begin our life as a family of four! (sorry about all the pictures...)

Playin' the waiting game...

The first time mom met her daughter...

Big Baby!!

Maycee's first encounter with the baby...captured it perfectly! She warmed up really quick though!!

First sister kiss...MANY to follow

Family of Four!!!

We had so many visitors! Thank you so much to all our friends and family that took time to come see us and meet Layla...we love you all!!

Watching the "Belle" movie together

Notice the Angels booties...a must for all the Anderson babies when leaving the hospital. Maycee wore them as I am sure any other future babies will too!!

Ready for the ride...

Layla had a present waiting at home for Maycee...just to make sure she really won her over. Maycee loved it and loves her little sister too!!
