Introducing...

Layla Sharie Phillips. Born on the 18th of May! Coming into the world at a whopping 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 19 inches long! We really are so grateful to have a such a healthy and happy baby in our family and we really enjoy her sweet personality. She is really a great little baby and doesn't cause lots of head-ache. She just lets her siblings take care of that! Sharifa started feeling contractions while at the movie the night before and we are grateful that we didn't decide to wait a whole other week to have her. She was ready to come out and join our family. It has been a crazy weekend trying to get the other kids to spend some one-on-one time with Dad while mom was stuck in the hospital. Steve has gone down south to do his internship and we all miss having him around. We have been counting the days till he will be home to spend a little time with us before going back again. Here are the pictures we were able to get at the hospital of everyone that was able to come and visit us while we were there. Thanks you to those who came and spent some time with us, even though we don't have pictures of you all, we really do appreciate the time you took to come and visit.! We are grateful for the great people that are apart of our lives (friends and family members).

 Here is a before picture.

 After. When she first came out she didn't make a sound. It really scared Sharifa a lot.

 The Queen and the Princess getting in some beauty sleep. Layla was in her tutu waiting to get her picture taken. The photographer never came when she said she would and we left later that day. Poor little girl was stuck in her tutu for a while!! They were both very worn out and needed to get all the sleep possible before having to go home and take care of the older siblings.
