15 months.

Lila has two new teeth. And she says too, to, and two!! Can I count one word as three? She also has been putting two and three words together. And has many new phrases. "open please" "have it" get it" thank you dada (etc)" bye bye wa wa (etc)"
She loves to look at "Lila" and "pictures" she talks about what was going on and everyone who is in a picture.
Recalling the recent and semi recent past is a new thing too. She talks about the dog at the beach. (it hurt her but she
Watching Lila eat "watermelon" is so fun. She takes big bites and will eat slice after slice. Yummy!
Lila loves to color. She draws "kitty kitties" and "doggies" and requests often (always) that I draw them as well. She likes to "paint" but doesn't like to get dirty with it.
She loves to swim at the pool. And jump! She jumps in over and over. And claps and says "jump".
My heart grows a little more every day!

Rolly polly

Lila just did a forward roll! She tried a couple if times and went sideways. And then did it!!! A couple of times. Dada said she started tried a few days ago but he stopped her because her neck looked funky!
Go Lila!! Just in time for the summer Olympics!!

Brag a little...

Lila signs bird. And says "bird tweet tweet tweet"
She says and signs a three word sentence "animals dancing me"
She can "read" a couple of her books. Along with making noises for the pages too!
She says "happy" and "hat" and loves party hats and anyone wearing them !!
Lila understands the concept of "it"! Get it, open it, read it.
She says me and points to herself. She can sign "friends" and "play" and "sing"
She loves to color or chalk. She asks me to draw kitty kitties and dogs. Then she colors mine in and draws her own too! She used a pen for the dirt time and drew a kitty kitty on her hand. And one on the bed spread!! (oops!)
She paints with a paint brush and prefers it to finger painting (less mess!)
If she is calling for da or mommy she puts her hand over her mouth.
She is quickly learning colors. Red she knows... I think blue and purple too!! Or at least those are the ones she can say!!
That's all I can remember now... Here is me and Lila being silly. (another one of her news words!

14 months

Lila loves her baby. Baby goes mostly everywhere we go. We put baby down to nap before Lila's naps. Sometimes in the morning the first thing Lila says is baby. She rocks baby and songs to her. He wipes baby's face and plays with her toes. She loves when baby blows her kisses and says "love you" and "ma mama". Lila points out band head and eyes and nose etc... She even plays peek a boo with baby. "where's baby" (she makes the where hands.) then lifts he blanket and say "a boo" "there is" She started putting baby on the potty, then the next day started feeding her with a spoon. This morning she decided baby needs to drink water too. Luckily it was pretend water so everyone stayed dry. Time moves sooo fast. Today Lila is 14 months old. She walks, talks, and has her own baby (doll). Every day is a wonderful gift with sweet Lila. I am so thankful but still wish I could slow down time.

Splash pad

What's a splash pad? A water playground! And there is a great one just a very short drive from pur house. Lila and I went to check it out on Saturday afternoon. Then we played on the playground for a bit too...
