Miss Ayla-Monster...

This is Ayla's common name these days. She is such a little character, I had no idea how truly funny these crazy little toddlers are. Right nolw she is loving Yo Gabba Gabba. She has the little figures and carts them all through the house. She is allowed to sleep with, take outside and travel with only one at a time however. You'd think the world was ending if we can't find one at any given moment. This is Ayla having dinner with her "Guys" - Brobee, Muno, Plex, Foofa and Toodee... We have new Aylaisms everyday. She doesn't really know that there are bad words but she's heard a few***blushing***. I was in my bathroom getting ready a week or so ago and she was playing on my bed with the dogs. I heard a thump and then "Oh, dammit" I bit my lip and pretended not to hear. She came in and said that she fell and I asked her if she said 'Oh nuts'....she said "No, I said dammit!" I held back my smile and told her that it wasn't a very nice word and if I fell, I would say 'Oh nuts'. She shrugged and said "Okay, oh nuts!" I then went into my closet where I could laugh...I cracked up all afternoon about that one. Does she not just look like a little devil here?

We recently stopped by a few garage sales(because I love them!) and Ayla was looking around. She was standing right next to the woman who lived there and looks at me and says "They have a lot of junk." Yeppers....time to go.


I have to share one more, it happens to be my dad's favorite. Ayla needed to pick up her toys and she was standing around checking out her mess, she mumbles to herself "I need to clean up all of this crap" I've added 'junk' and 'crap' to my list of do not use words.

This is just Ayla being silly and showing off her cute litte toddler tummy, oh how I love kissing that little belly!

By the way, if you notice the scar to your right of her belly button(just slightly above) that is from her intestinal surgery as a three pound neonate. They removed part of her colon, her appendix, an ovarian cyst and an accessory spleen. That scar was an inch long but it has grown with her. Also, her belly button was an innie until her surgery, it's been a big ol' outie ever since. Just some interesting Ayla fun facts!

This weekend Darren's parent's came down to visit, it was fun as always. Ayla really looks forward to seeing them now, it's pretty cute. Carol taught Ayla to call her Grandma Carol instead of the "Grandma Camel" that she's been calling her. Grandpa John took her swimming at their hotel...she's still talking about it. They stayed in a hotel because our home is on the market and we could be asked to get out for a showing at a moments notice. It'll be nice once we move and don't have any of those worries.


Saturday night Ayla stayed at their hotel with them. She went to bed at 11pm, woke at 12:30AM AND 2:30AM then got up for the day at 5:30am. Yikes! We'll see if they ever want her overnight again!! I suppose it had something to do with the fact that she had a touch of a cold and was in a new place. John slept through most of it and Carol was a little tired on Sunday!

On Sunday we went to Chalco Hills for a picnic and fishing. My friend Holly and her kids joined us. It was a really fun day. We grilled burgers and hot dogs along with plenty of other food and hung out...relaxing and nice! The dogs came along since we had an open house and were in hog heaven, they ran and swam all afternoon. Ayla had a cookie for dessert...MMmmm, icing!


Then she crashed. She'd had a very busy night making sure the Grandma Carol knew she was there, haha!!




This has absolutely nothing to do with this weekend, but they were too funny not to share. This is Ayla going potty and looking through a circular for toys. This kid is just too much sometimes!

Ayla can stay with us anytime. We had a good time. She even wanted to return to the hotel with us Sunday night. She doesn't forget a thing!
