v.33

Today Lila is 33 weeks old. Last Saturday she decided to try standing on her own. She has been testing her balance by only holding on with one hand but that got boring quickly. She can stand on her own for a couple of seconds. She even turned around and then gracefully fell. She will either sit fall or catch her self and roll. Lila has also been bouncing and jumping all the time. She loves to dance to her new favorite song, "My Dog Rags" she laughs whenever the song starts. It is so cute! "I have a dog and his name is rags... He eats so much that his belly sags... His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags... When he walks he walks, zig zag.... "
Waving is one of Lila's favorite things to do. She waves and waves, sometimes the wave is paired with a little "hi!". The cutest little voice...

This week Lila has had so much fun watching the dogs and goat through the big glass door. She also loves all the room to crawl around in the Shelton house, not to mention all the extra love.
This week mommy started working again. Lila and mommy miss each other a lot during those days... Lila has lots of fun with daddy and with Gigi too! At the end of the day mommy runs to Lila as fast as she can. It's hard to be away from the person you have spent 24 hours a day with for 17 months....
On the road trip back to Texas Lila tried out a high chair at a restaurant for the first time and had the best time. Now she sits in one while mommy and daddy are eating. Out to eat she has fun playing with a straw or a spoon. Dinner time at home Lila sits in her seat and has been experimenting with food again. She is much more interested in playing then eating. That's okay because it's what babies should do, they eat for fun until at least a year old! It is nice to sit at the table and eat as a family. I love this little family.
