Today Lila is 19 month old! My baby! She is so so smart and is such a talker. She has 8 word sentences and chapters away all day long. When we are around new people or people we know but don't see all the time, it takes her a minute to warm up but then she is back to talking away. Lila and I can have full meaningful conversations. She basically understands everything I say to her. This past month we have really started to spell some things.. A parenting milestone I'm sure!
Some of my favorite things Lila says is "day!" for have a good day. She picked it up on her own. When she done eating she says (newly) "tell mommy" because I have been telling her to tell mommy when she is done! Hehe I love the way she says "where is she?". She is always making observations about everything around her. "see that man" "hear baby crying"
Lila loves Elmo! And has a favorite song at the moment. "la la la la la la la Elmo's song...". It's also big birds song, Lilas song, Mommys song, and milk's song!!
Just recently Lila has started giving the labels of "mommy one, baby one, and daddy one".
She is still very into reading and always surprises me with how quickly and much she memorizes in them. She loves "story book" which is goldilocks and the three bears... But no pictures. I was so amazed when she started liking it. She has also started really requesting certain books. She likes to read on we own too and read to baby. I would say de suess is her favorite author.
Besides reading Lila loves to sing. We have some songs we have made up... "ding go the waffles when there done!" and "baby babay, booummm booummm" she sings raffi's "baby baloiga" and "twinkle twinkle" "wheels in the bus" is a favorite. And she is starting to sing the abcs. Lila can almost sing the whole alphabet by herself. She loves to dance and drum, and watch people play interments. .
Everyday with Lila is a gift and I am so thankful I get to be her mommy.

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.

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.
