Tummy Time

Nana bought Ayla a cool new tummy time mat. Here's a video of her and her strong neck! Ayla is 3 weeks and 1 day old today.

Cousin Lucas

Ayla finally got to meet her cousin, Lucas. Lucas really loved Ayla. They're going to be the best of friends.

Cuddling with Mommy

One of Ayla's favorite things to do is rest with Mommy. Ok, it's one of Mommy's favorite things to do too!

Play Time!

Ayla's been spending more time quietly alert lately, so we brought out some fun toys for her to look at. She liked looking at the toys on her caterpillar mat.

Squeaky Clean!

Ayla finally got her first bath the other day. She didn't really like it, but she sure looked cute all wrapped up in her whale towel!

She's Finally Here!

As most of you know, Ayla Ross Bernardo was born on Sunday, August 3rd at 4:47 pm. She weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and was 20 and 1/2 inches tall. We brought her home on Tuesday, and have been adjusting to our new life ever since. We are getting to know Ayla, and loving her more and more every minute. Here are a few pictures:

The Last Belly Picture???

Well... It's Saturday, and I'm 4 days away from my due date (let's call it 3 days, since its almost bedtime). I am MORE than ready to get this show on the road and meet my girl! Here's a belly shot from 39 weeks:

and here's a mom's eye view...


The baby's room is all set to go. We recently bought a mirror for her to admire herself in:

So cross your fingers and hopefully you'll be meeting the newest member of the Bernardo family sooner rather than later!
