Wordy Girl

One big difference with passing the 1 year mark... Lyla is talking up a storm! A lot of gibberish and babbles, but she tries to say a LOT of words! Almost every day she tries to imitate a new word that we say. We are making a list of all her words. So here is the list at 14 months:

Can Say:
Mama, Dada, Chair, Up, Hat, Boo (cat)

Almost Say or Trying!:
yellow, blue, spoon, bye bye, Lyla, ouch, doggy, elevator (she is in looove with the elevator!), fish, niño, baby, paper, jacket, mono, shoe, banana (nana!)

And there are probably more, but I can't wait to see what the list is at 15 months! It seems like the shift to trying words was really rapid and she is just sponging words up!

Weird to think we'll be conversing all the time with real words soon..... eek! Can't wait to hear some of the things she'll say :)!

Halloween!

Lyla's second Halloween.. but the first doesn't really count because Lyla slept the whole time she was in her costume!

This year we dressed her up in a little bumble bee costume I found on amazon, and it fit her PERFECTLY! And it happened to be a gorgeous fall day on Halloween, 50's, so we got to go trick-or-treating. Lyla can't eat candy... she doesn't even know what candy is luckily... but we went to my parents' house and visited the neighbors there, people I've known forever! They loved seeing Lyla. Lyla really enjoyed picking out candy and putting it in her bucket... and dumping everything in her bucket out while we were walking! We visited Grandma who was working at the library where Lyla got the ultimate trick-or-treat surprise... A SPOON! Lyla loves spoons so much.. we call her 'the spoon lady.'

She had so much fun!! I'm just glad it was a beautiful day!
