Today Lila is 18 months old. Everyday is fun with Lila. It's a true blessing being her mommy and watching her grow everyday.
When Lila was a tiny baby I would often find myself overcome with happiness and joy for Lila and at the same time some fear that these moments won't last forever and I want to be sure I am here enjoying them all. Hopefully never forgetting. To smell her sweet little head just stare at because there she is in my arms.
Now Lila runs and exploring and says "I can" "myself". She gets busy playing kitchen and making stuff for me and daddy to try. She loves to paint and to dance. She loves to sit up in a circle with all her Teddy's and maybe have a picnic or snack. Sometimes we just talk about their names.
Lila loves spaghetti and pizza, and she loves to help mommy cook. We crack eggs (lilas favorite part) for breakfast and Lila stirs it all together. We make bread to eat too.
Lila likes to slide and swing and sweep :)
She is learning her letters and can count to 10. Lila loves to read books and can read some books herself. We got a book from the library that we read once that afternoon. The next morning Lila read the book to me saying what was on each page! Really this happened!
She likes to color and had fun telling me what to draw. A bus! Windows wheels. A puppy here! Kitty. Baby kitties! I love watching my sweet baby grow everyday. You are an amazing gift Lila, thank you for letting me be your mommy.

Bye bye playground
When we leave the playground Lila says "bye bye playground. Bye bye sun. Bye bye turtle. Bye bye stairs. Bye bye swing. Bye bye swings". It's a little different every time but so so sweet.

Great Herb
Very sadly Herb passed away on Sunday. He will be very missed. The last time we visited I took this picture. Herb was loving watching Lila dance and called her a little pistol. We love you Herb.

A afternoon hike
The temps have dropped back into the 2 digest so Tuesday afternoon I asked Lila of she wanted to go on a hike. She said yes and we drive a quick 5 minutes to a little preserve. A short hike up a hill you reach a old volcano. It is pretty neat.
She rode up in the ergo on my back to watch the birds fly away in the path in front of us. At the top we had snacks and watched butterflys. When one would disappear she would say "buttfly butterfly, where are you?"
Lila rode the steep part down but then decided to walk the softer trail back to the car. We promised to be back soon to take a closer look at the little creek.

Another day another park
Zilker park, we got there about 8 and had the whole park to ourselves. We decided to take the first train ride at 10ish before heading home for a nap. 
More songs!
Today Lila sang , "wxyz" then soon after, "baby balooga deep blue sea, swim wiilld" she has the sweetest little singing voice.
We have been so busy since getting back from visiting Avery. A party at the studio and me working basically every day. Lila came to the studio and hung out while I did a models hair and makeup for a photo shoot. It went mostly well and Lila did wind up putting makeup on baby.
We have been having lots of fun too. Last Sunday the Pils were in Austin and spent Sunday morning with us. We went I the farmers market, they were having a fair so there was a petting zoo and bounce house, etc Lila and Elan did both the mentioned, they also enjoyed riding in the wagon and sharing toys.
Lila comments on everything when we are driving around. Buses, cars and "big trucks". We were at a stop light the other day and she pointed out the elephant (pictured) on top of the candy shop.

Denver days
Monday was labor day. In the morning we hung out at the house and relaxed. Avery taught Lila how to "scooch" down the stairs. Naturally, Lila scotched down with baby bear and baby. Originally we planned to go to the park but once we realized it was labor day and the park situation was going to be too crazy, we headed downtown to a festival called taste of CO. It was weird to say the least but we had fun together. Lila danced to the music and we shared cheese and chocolate fondue. Lila go a rainbow painted on her arm too! There was a toddler area with houses and slides. We headed home to fajitas and a walk to the park and then a good nights sleep.
Tuesday Avery started her first day at her new job!!! Of course I took a "first day" picture. Lila and I went to the children's museum in the afternoon (the first trip in the morning I forgot my wallet!, we just played on the playground and then went home and tool a nap) We had a great time at the museum. It was fun to see what Denver's had. Lila's favorites was the huge toddler area! It was so nice. The big kids areas she loved was the painting, which was of course super messy and the smocks did not do there job. She really loved the dancing area with costumes. She danced in front of the mirror. And the trains!b Lila loves tabletop trains. Afterwards we played again on the playground and then a happy surprise. While we were waiting for Avery to get off work a trolly came and started giving rides. Lila wanted to ride the trolly and so did I. We had a great time and when we were done we played a little more and Avery and Jeff met us to go get pizza. We had a great trip to visit Avery and tomorrow we head home in the afternoon. Thank you to Avery and Jef hosting. We will be planning a trip very soon to bring daddy back and do something in the snow!
