Never a Dull Moment...

Lilah is like a sponge these days. She amazes me with what she remembers. She is also starting to follow direction (when she wants to), and she loves to HELP!! If you tell her she is helping you, there is hmmmmm about an 80% chance she will do it! ....much better chance than if you just ask her!

She is working on animal noises...

...and other various tricks. :)

Ha! She has been spending a lot of time with daddy! ;) LOVE HER!

Here are a few more recent photos...

 I had left this half eaten banana on the table after dinner....she stole it off the table! So much more fun to eat with the peel on!

If you are looking for a great photographer, check out KDB Photography. Kati took my maternity pics and has taken pictures of Lilah pretty much every three months since she was born. She has given us so many wonderful snapshots in time, capturing Lilah's spunky and sweet personality!

Here are a few of my past favorites...

ok...maybe more than just a few. I have so many more that I LOVE LOVE LOVE!

18 months

Lilah's 18 month stats:
Height - 33.5 inches (93rd percentile)
Weight - 24 lbs (43rd percentile)
Head- 50th percentile...yep, didn't write it down :)

so...what's the little monkey up to these days?

Talking / Communicating-
This past week, Lilah has really started saying words. Some new ones: keys, eat, doggie, please, cheese (kind of sound the same, but that's ok), auntie...and a lot of just repeating the same number of syllables, like if you ask her to say thank you she will say da-dee or moo-mee...I kind of love it! She is really good at her lion roar and cow moo as well as continuing to point out body parts. She still does a lot of pointing and mmmm'ing, but her words are becoming more and more!

Eating-
Still a pretty picky eater. She loves her fruit, yogurt, toaster strudel (egg & sausage), fruit snacks and cheese. Meat and veggies are a little tougher to get in. Any suggestions?

Activities-
Lilah rarely sits still. She loves to color/scribble, play with duplos, dance, jump, play with keys (see photo below), watch and dance with the Wiggles, read, be tickled, sing songs...oh and getting into anything and everything she shouldn't! She also LOVES her blankie, airplanes, the moon and babies (which is pretty much anyone shorter than her).

Lilah does not like exam rooms, as I assume all 18 month old children. After the appointment, both mom and Lilah stopped for a well deserved ice cream treat :)

So much happier after ice cream!

Keys! She runs around to all the doors and tries to unlock them.

So there you have it.

Stinky Feet!

Lilah loves when you tell her she has stinky feet. She immediately shoves her toes to her nose and waits for you to pull them away....this is followed by hysterical laughter.

And today someone is 18 months old. In typical Kristin fashion I can only remember a few of the stats (and my cheat sheet is in the car). Stay tuned...

Ready for Summer!
