a bunch of firsts...

first full 2hour nap on daddy's chest.
LOVE how Layton's arms are wrapped around daddy like he's giving a hug!

first trip to a restaurant as a family of 5!!
--we went to Panera for lunch when Layton was 8 days old (July 16).

first bottle!
Daddy (and the kids!) gave Layton a bottle for the first time on day 11 (July 19). he did fabulous, although he did seem like he was drowning the whole time he was drinking!

first date night "post baby"!!
We celebrated our 9th anniversary on July 20th. DeeDee and Poppi came down to keep the kids so we could go out for dinner at 131 Main. We were so proud that everyone did great while mommy and daddy were away, including Layton taking his 2nd bottle! Such a gift.

first "tummy-time"!
had to keep him from going to sleep the whole time he was down there!

first family birthday celebration for Layton!
We celebrated Shawn's 32nd birthday on July 24th with a big brunch, fun "Hoops and YoYo" birthday cards and the fabulous birthday hat that Aunt Sandy gave the kids last year! It was a pretty low key day since Daddy wasn't feeling too great.

this isn't a "first", but I had to get this picture of my sweet sleeping baby.

not a "first" either, but holy cow, look at those lips!! To me, this looks just like Shawn!!

first time wearing an "outfit"
Memama gave Layton this super cute outfit in the hospital and Reilly picked it out for him to wear yesterday (July 30). It looks like his legs are 2" long but really the pants are sagging down! Presh.
