Remember this forever
Tonight while eating dinner Lila said to me " you're cracking me up. Mommys cracking Lila up"
Today we were brushing our teeth. Lila stands on a stool while doing so... She wraps her arm around me and leans her head in close in my body. We stood there just looking at each other while brushing our teeth. It felt so sweet. I love Lila's hugs.

21 months
Yesterday was your second Christmas and today you are 21 months old. You are funny, very very smart, and beautiful. You make me laugh everyday. You teach me all about life and everyday, making me a better person and mommy just by watching and being with you. And yes, everyday I learn how to be a little more patient . You want to do lots of thing yourself. You know what you want and you generally can communicate what you need. Although sometimes I don't understand you (like today, I was folding Tuf's blanket wrong or touching it wrong or something i still don't know what...). You cried, I hugged you and asked you to please tell me what to do and I am sorry I didnt understand. New hugged, then we cuddled and read a book. The life of a toddler. I love living every minute with you.
This month you tried and enjoyed (many times) peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We sing the song as we make them. I cut the crusts off for me and discovered you like them a lot too!
Lila you sing lots of songs. We make up songs all day.
Your memory is amazing. We will read a book once and the next time you know words (and where they belong?) For example, turning to a new page and you know the first word or two.
You play hide and seek. You count, we hide. At the playground other parents stop and watch because you, this tiny sweet tot are counting/yelling to 18 ish. You run and find me and then say "go count" and off you go to count!
I love being your mommy and daddy and I are so lucky to be your parents.

Lilas first Christmas party
Lila had a wonderful time today at her first Christmas party. Henry and Arielle had us and another mama and babe over this afternoon. This morning Lila and I went shopping and got Henry a gift and some items to make a snack to take a share. We settled on decorated pretzel rods. When we got home I drizzled the chocolate and Lila decorated with sprinkles and crushed pecans. We wrapped the kitty notebook and crayons for Henry. Lila also found some blocks to give to the baby, Lewis.
At Henrys house Lila had so much fun. Henry had a felt and a real tree too. He had lots of fun toys to play with and books to read. Lila gave her presents to the boys. We made some fun ornaments. Cinnamon ornaments, glitter acorns (my favorite) and balls we swirled paint around in.
We checked out the new chickens they had just gotten and played in their big backyard. We both ate way to many yummy treats. Brown butter and sea salt krispy treats!!! Yummy! Lila started a bunch and I finished them.
It's so great to celebrate with friends thank you to Arielle and Henry for having us!!

Saturday morning at home
A morning a never want to forget. It was a typical morning at home, yet still such an amazing one. Looking into each others eyes, laughing and playing, snuggling and reading books, dancing and twirling. We played with bears and puzzles and babies. I love these days

Christmas Tree
Today we went to Elign Christmas Tree Farm. It was actually cold which made it feel like the season (opposed to the 80 degree plus temptress lately)
We took a short hayride to the trees. We found a nice little tree and daddy quickly cut it down. You (Lila) found a tiny tree you really liked and tried to pull it out of the ground! This made me laugh. They had lots of animals. You loves the big sweet hound and feeding all the goats (plus a llama, sheep, and donkey). We had bar b q on the way home and after nap time we added lights to the tree and a felt star we sewed.
