Sunny Saturday at a new park

A few weeks ago I found a new park that isn't to far from our house. It was a little cold today but the sun was shining so we took the opportunity to go check out the park. It was the perfect size for Lyla and there weren't too many kids so she could just roam as she wanted. It was a fun little outing.

Little Miss Lyla: 14.5 months

Wow! Lyla is one fantastic little lady in my opinion. She is a happy little girl who just roams the house playing and exploring at her own leisure. She loves her stuffed animals, in particular Wocket, Huey , Miss Puff and Mr. Moose.
Books are a favorite but only to speed through- it's like she is being timed or something- very endearing- one day Biscuits trip to the pumpkin patch will slow down.

She is fascinated with a book shelf that we have and all of the items on it. She spends plenty of time in front of it pointing and jabbering wildly until she is picked up and then she selects the item with great determination- she has her eye on a specific item- usually our fish Holiday, but sometimes he loses out to the volume knob on the stereo.

Charlie and Alice (our dogs) are favorites for sure. She pats them quite a bit throughout the day and can often be found smiling and waving at them as well.

Lyla jabbers most of the day and she loves yelling because she's excited. She is understanding more and more of what we say. We can't say the word bath or she heads straight to the bathroom and if we say bedtime she walks to her room. We are quickly learning that she is listening. Matt said the word "vacuum" today and she walked to the closet where it's stored and staring banging on the door.

It really has been so special to watch her grow into her own person.





This was a completely random picture but has actually turned into one of my favorite family pictures thus far.
