It is crazy to me that Lyla is 15 months old! Wasn't she just 15 days? (Although I'll admit, I'm thankful for the sleep I get at the current age versus that at 15 days!)
- Lyla weighs 20.5 pounds according to the scale at home, but we'll see what the doctor's scale says in a couple of weeks. She's feeling rather large!
- Lyla's new favorite word: no. Yes folks, we've entered that stage. She doesn't usually say it in a defiant way, which is nice for us, but rather to express a strong opinion or when she's being playful. Example: I say "Lyla, it's time for bed." Her response: cling to mom for dear life while saying "NoNoNoNoNoNoNo."
- She went on her first airplane ride in July! More on that in a future post.
- She has started "jumping" - it is so funny! If we say "Lyla, jump!" she sticks her little hiney out while she squats. We can get a pretty good smile and laugh out of her that way.
- Lyla has begun to clean up after bathtime. She likes putting all her toys back in the basket and is very thorough. No duck must be left unattended! She also likes wiping her tray after she eats. In addition, she's now in charge of all laundry. HA! Okay, not yet. That comes when she's 2. (Child labor friends. You gotta start 'em young.)
- She's saying and signing so much more. Some of the things she signs/says: mom, dad, cat, dog, eat, milk, agua, please (my favorite...it's pretty sweet), thank you, sorry, hat, shoes, baby, ball, book, banana, more, wash, bath, phone, cracker, diaper, orange, brush teeth, yes, up, down, all done, on, off, ears, glasses...I'm sure I'm forgetting others. I've been meaning to keep an actual list for awhile because I know I won't remember. Sorry you were just exposed to it :-)
- Lyla loves chasing the dogs. That's a new, not-so-fun, challenge to deal with.
- Knocking on doors is another new favorite! She can knock pretty fiercely, too. Example: When I'm in the bathroom and she wants in :-)
- She loves "cooking" when we are in the kitchen. She stirs, pours, feeds her babies, etc. She's clearly taking on my domestic-goddess skills. (Er, uh, something like that...)
- Three new teeth are breaking through. Enough said.
Another good month!!!
