"Layla Grace!" Trey says excitedly, messing with his nearly month old daughter who is just learning how to laugh. She lets out little spurts of laughter and mostly air, making both parents crack up.

"Look at you looking just like your beautiful mommy." He replies, pressing kisses all over his baby's face. 

Demi stands back and records her little family and posts the video to her Instagram story, making sure that her baby's face is covered. "I've prayed so hard for a life like this. Jesus came through. ❤"

Trey looks over at his wife who puts her phone away and presses a kiss to her cheek. "You're so beautiful."

"Thank you babe." Demi answers before sweeping up her daughter in her arms, leaving the bedroom and heading right into Layla's bedroom. 

Little Layla Grace Neverson has both of her parents wrapped around her little fingers.

"It's her bedtime already?" Trey groans, realizing that it is eight o'clock at night.

"Yes. You can play with her tomorrow."

Demi carefully lays her sleeping daughter in her crib. She and Trey head out of the room and head back into their room. Demi lets out a loud yawn.

Having a new baby in the house meant when the baby sleeps, the parents sleep. Trey and Demi each had five hours of sleep that day and were very well exhausted from today's festivities.

Little Layla's sleep schedule has gotten a lot better thanks to the parents using "TakingCaraBabies" on Instagram. Layla sleeps mostly through the night and wakes up when she is hungry or needs her diaper changed.

"Come here." Trey tells his wife and pulls her into his arms, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. He backs up and falls onto the soft bed, letting Demi fall back with him.

Demi laughs and presses a kiss to her husband's lips, causing Trey to flip her over on her back. He pulls away from her and lets her lay down while laying next to her.

The young mother cuddles next to her husband, closing her exhausted eyes.

A crying infant is heard down the hall two hours later, waking the new parents from their deep slumber to tend to their newborn.

"Stay here, I got her." Trey whispers to Demi and unravels his body from the warm sheets. Demi moves her blankets back onto her arms as she realizes how cold she is.

Trey heads into Layla's nursery and finds his baby lying on her back and crying.

"What is it, my princess?" He coos, picking up his baby to go change her diaper.

"You are one tiny poop bomb." He teases as Layla continues to cry. Trey wipes her clean and changes her into a fresh diaper but notices that she is still fussy.

"Are you hungry?" He asks. He carries his tiny baby in his large hands and heads downstairs, going straight to the kitchen.

Layla stretches her little arms as her father holds her and places her bottle in her bottle warmer.

"What is it?" He teases, looking at her tan skin turning red from crying so hard.

"Getting some food! Some yummy, yummy food. For the hangry baby!" He chants, making his crying daughter dance. Layla stops crying and Trey chuckles to himself as Layla looks up at him with a little pout.

"You're so beautiful, did you know that?" Trey coos, pressing a kiss to his daughter's forehead. He hears the bottle warmer chime and eagerly gets up.

"Oh! Someone's food is ready." He says, he tests the bottle on his wrist, seeing that he can feed the baby. He takes his seat and gives his daughter her food.
