I can hardly believe that Lyla is almost a year old! We have been busy planning her first birthday bash. Our "L" pictures are becoming more difficult every month. It usually ends up in her mouth for most shots. At 11 months, Lyla is talking up a storm. Her vocabulary includes: daddy, poppa (my dad), baby, ball, Yaya= Lyla, bye bye, baba=bottle/cup or drink, bibbit= frog, ducky, bibi=bite, puppy, hi, and Mmm for anything that tastes good to her. She can stand by herself and has taken a few steps but still likes crawling for tansportation. She loves playing with her babies, pompoms and musical instruments. She is a great dancer and can already keep a beat. Any type of rhythm gets her moving, from the washing machine to cars booming down our street.
She enjoys singing along to the radio and looking out our windows. Lyla loves a crowd and is very charming for her audience. She already has a sweet tooth and is a great eater. Still not really fond of sleeping but we are used to it. Peek-a-boo and patty cake are two of her favorite games and we play them often. She changes more every day and each day with her is such a blessing. I don't know what I ever did before she was born. Nothing this important, that is for sure!
