Overdue Update: Life of a Toddler's Mama


So excuse for the lack of blog posts: busy toddler = busy mama!

Lyla is always on the move.. crawling everywhere, pulling up on anything she can, and walking all around the living room. She is a bit timid about walking on her own anywhere else... just recently, she started feeling confident enough to venture onto the hardwood floor on her own.. progress! Otherwise, we just have to take her by the hand when she needs to leave the living room...

It has been amazing to see what she learns to do every day! Yesterday, I asked her, "Lyla, dónde está tu nariz?" And she pointed to her nose! She has only done it a couple of times since though. She is able to feed herself with a spoon, although it is definitely a messy ordeal. The other day, we shared a yogurt snack and she fed both of us... we were both covered in yogurt, but it was fun, and good practice for her. Most impressively, she can bend over and stand up again without holding onto anything! She continues to be a little imitator, talking on the phone, using the remote and pointing it at the TV, sweeping, brushing her teeth, combing her hair, head banging (haha), etc etc. It's so funny!

We took away the bottles for good about a week ago. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. We did it gradually while Lyla got used to drinking milk and the sippy. At first she wouldn't drink any milk, but now she chugs it like a champ!

There is so much more to look forward to with our little Lyla Soo! We love you!
