the leah-tard
three cheers for grandma hauley!! my mom found this little leah-tard (as we like to call it) at wright costumes in slc. it was the smallest they had! then, talented seamstress that she is (a trait i did NOT inherit), she made this little turqoise ballet slip. oh my word. love it! i used to be a ballerina a long time ago, so it's fun to dress her up in these sorts of things!
and, lest you think everything is candy and sunshine here at the layton household, here is a small glimpse into what my life has been like for the last week or so. yah, i'm not kidding. poor leah is getting...i'm not sure how many...teeth, but it's a mouthful. At least 3 molars, maybe four, and one or two other teeth. Wow! the middle picture is a perfect picture to recap my point of view. (teething is also the reason she is only chewing on the ballet slippers above...)

oh my i am in love.. i love the tard, i love the skirt mom.. i love ballerina leah. and those sad pictures are so freaking cute.. even if she is crying.. i just wanna pick her up and cuddle! yay for the shoot mare.. good work!
Leah has the cutest photo shoots ever! What a doll! She looks so grown up with her pig tails in back. I love the sad photos too but I know how miserable that can be for both of you. Happy teething Leah...
These are some of the sweetest photos ever. I love that leah fits the tard and the skirt - I also love the polka dot tights. She's a sweetheart - even when she cries. And even in australia.
okay, i want to sign up for the Maren Layton photography class! you're amazing! it doesn't hurt that you have such a photogenic subject...ADORABLE. but seriously, share your knowledge!
She looks like a balleria in pain in the second part! It reminds me of a scene from Save the Last Dance, where her toes are bleeding after dancing! Leah is cute and I love her little outfit! Emily
Cute pictures! But I'm so glad you had a little girl. The pictures just wouldn't be as cute if a little Ryan was wearing a tard.
I think the sad face collage is cuter than the happy! :)
oh leah...I wish you lived closer. And I love her pig tails.
MOLARS ARE BAD!! Oh Maren, I so feel your pain about the sad baby. It seems like Danika has been working on getting her molars forever and it makes her a cranky little child!
So what is all this China talk? Fill us all in...maybe I missed the post!
The new photo shoot is tutu cute! hah!
Sweet little thing! Oh, the middle picture on the sad-spread makes me ache to pick her up. Angel!
I want an outfit like that. For me.
How cute. I like her leah tard! I have been behind on blogs for awhile. It's good to hear leah is making some progress since you have started her in physical therapy. Good luck with all of that.
