One of my friends asked my brother to take portraits of her daughter after she saw my brother’s photos on Facebook.  Since he was coming down to set up shop in my house, I asked our mutual friend to bring her daughter, too.  My brother took longer than expected to setup his background and lighting and the babies were getting antsy.  We thought the photo shoot was a bust but he caught a few great shots anyway.  (If you’re on my Facebook list, you must have seen them by now.)

Anyway, these are Layla’s “BFF”s =)  They were all born within weeks of each other, same month, same year.  At least 2 of them, if not all 3, were born in the same hospital.

I’m really glad I found moms my age with first borns of the same age, too.  That was not the case with James.  I was still in high school when James came into the world thousands of miles away on the other side.  Some of his friends’ parents were old enough to be my parents or at least a decade older than I.  We hardly had anything in common.  With Layla’s friends, their moms and I speak the same language… in Elmo’s voice =)
