20 Months

20 months old, time has flown by with our little girl. I cannot believe we are so quickly approaching the 2 year mark. It seems so...not baby! Below you will find pictures of Layla's current little life, the things she loves and does not love so much.

Here is Layla and her sweet Seamus. They are so fun together and just get along so well. They light up when they see each other and start dancing, hugging (when prompted), babbling (Seamus imitates Layla's babbling), running, playing, etc.

Layla had another Valentine this month. I know this is not a great picture, but I could not get either Layla or Jack to look at the camera :-) Layla and Jack went to a Valentine's party together this weekend. Yes, Ryan and I were there and Jack's parents were there to supervise, hee hee!!! The Valentine's Day party was put on by a local mother's group that Meg and I are thinking about joining. It was really a fun party.

Yep, Layla still loves to clean. Here she is dusting. She likes a LOT of wood cleaner.

We were inside a lot this past month. I was pulling out any trick I could think of. Here Layla is playing with snow in the tub, with PJs on :-) She really loved it and we almost felt like we got out of the house for a good chunk of time.

Here is Layla's current favorite activity, coloring. She loves to color and is quite serious about this skill :-)

Oh yes, did I mention Layla likes to be able to see EVERY crayon when she is coloring? In order to do so she dumps out the entire crayon bucket prior to coloring.

When Layla wants to go bye bye, she WANTS to go bye bye. On the left, Layla is insisting that she go bye bye when she was sick. On the right, Layla is desperately trying to get us to go bye bye from the doctor's office.

Yep, this child loves to bake. Here she is on her favorite chair.

Layla LOVES to open gifts

and LOVES play-doh.

Layla loves a waiting room.

Ryan was calling her Dora the Explorer because she was just running from item to item in the waiting room investigating it all.

And then came the doctor's office, Layla does NOT love the doctor's office. This past Monday was Layla's appointment in Madison with her neurologist. The appointment went well and all is on track health-wise but Layla is so scared of the doctor, and the scale and the measuring tape and the nurses (you get the picture). I am hoping as Layla gets older and understands more, that these trips will get easier.

Sweet Layla, 20 months old.
