Lyla fell and got a really bad bruise/goose egg right in between her eyes. You can see it in the below pic, but in others it looks sort of like a unibrow. I think it's her first real ouchie. And I wasn't even there when it happend to make it better :(
texting and computing.. :)
Cousin play time in the tent! I'm peeking through a plastic window to take the pictures, thus the blur
This day was so funny. Lyla conned her dad into sitting and playing and brought him every stuffed animal she has and then plopped in between them! She also whined until I fetched her the blanket
Lyla Lou! You're 16 months babe! We call you Lyla Lou now because Addie randomly started calling you that. You both are so cute when you see each other, and play so fun together, that it was hard not to share her excitement by referring to you this way :) Each month I struggle to find the descriptiveness to capture the person that you are. Each month I fail. Oh how I wish I could bottle your personality so I wouldn't have to! You are sweet. funny. snuggly. feisty. stubborn. silly. loungy. crazy. lovable. girly. feminine. active. excited. smart. etc etc etc all in one!! There are so many moments each day that I think how lucky I am to have you as my daughter. How you are just too cute to be true. I hope you always stay this way.Here's some other lovable things about you this month:
You still have 8 teeth
We went to your 16 month checkup and you had to have shots. Oh my you cried. I hate them.
You say the first part of SOOOO many words now it's hard to keep up. It's so fun to interact with you verbally now. I feel like I have a little tape recorder (which is why I'm working really hard on not swearing :)
You are still SUCH a pain in the butt eater. I guess if I just stuck to what you like to eat, it'd be fine. But then you'd never eat anything healthy. ever.
I have to be on my toes when you're eating because if you get full and I don't get you out the carseat fast enough, you chuck all the food off. Stinker.
Your new thing is going into your room (or your tent), plopping down, and then patting the floor next to you so I will sit down and play. You also add a little whine like "ehhh" and pat. It's hilarious. As if I don't play with you enough or something. You also do it to dad sometimes.
You are a diva. No question. Another new thing you do is sit on your princess chair and then whine and point for the toys you want brought to you...which usually includes a blanket and then second chair to prop your legs up on. Where did I get you?! haha.
You and I LOVE the new Rec Center in town. We have a punch pass and go once a week. You always take a minute to get used to the giant bucket that dumps, but once you do you become such a playful little thing. You LOVE water and run from place to place. You also love the lazy river. Such a lounge girl. The first time we went we floated for almost an hour. You just propped your head on my chest and relaxed. It's such a fun way to spend one on one time. You almost always cry when we leave, despite the shivering and blue lips!
When something suprises you or you're excited about something you put your hands on your mouth. HAHA
You make the "ROAR" sound when I ask what a Lion says. It's such an adorable ROAR!
You want to do everything I do. Now when I'm applying lotion, you sign more for some. I'll put a little on your hands and you'll rub it together. It's SO hilarious and cute!
You will dance on cue now. You move in circles and swing your arms from side to side. It's SO cute :)
You drag Dad and I around, pulling us by the hand. We spoil you by going wherever you want.
You know what you want to eat. We can open the fridge, freezer or pantry and you'll grab what you want. You are so smart!
I've said this before, but you love bigger little girls (like age 4). Do you not know you're only 1 little one? You choose to run and play with them in social settings over little kids your age
You love playing with your kitchen! You put things in to microwave, stir, fake drink and all sorts of things. It's so cute.
You recognize COW in books
I've said this before too but you know when you look cute! You immediately run in to find dad after your dressed in the morning to show him how cute you look. You strike a pose when we say you look so cute!
