18 months

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.
