23 Months

Layla has had a big month. Her vocabulary has really taken off and she is starting to become more confident in social settings which is really so much fun to watch. Layla has also been busy...well being Layla :-)

Layla is a happy little girl who still likes her sleep and food (double knock on wood!) and adores her grandparents and any kind of sweet she lays her eyes on. She has become a little bit of a daredevil, climbing on everything. Today when it was time to leave the park, Layla climbed into the stroller in about 2.2 seconds and was ready to go. I guess I need to be more specific with my directions next time! Layla loves to do anything mommy and daddy are doing whether it is planting flowers, working on home improvement projects, cooking, doing laundry, making the bed, etc. We are enjoying her so much right now and we hope the terrible-ness of the 2's stay far, far away!

Enjoy some pictures of Layla this past month:

Layla posing next to her yellow flowers in her playhouse. She initially wanted blue flowers but I told her we didn't have a lot to work with in the Lowe's greenhouse :) Blue and yellow are her two favorite (okay maybe the only two she knows!) colors.

Tending to her yellow flowers that are already in danger of being over-watered.

This girl loves airplanes, she always stops everything to point up in the sky when they fly by.

Layla had her first major spill this month. The poor thing took a spill off our back deck right onto her head. Luckily, Layla calmed down quickly with the help of a Mr. Freeze (note to self, keep freezer stocked for summer) and Ryan and I were able to move in quickly to ice the bump which kept the swelling to a minimum.

Layla is still loving on her babies. She does not mind if they are in the human or doll form, she adores them all. She actually saw all three of her baby boy friends (Mason, Ryker & Zander) last week but I only managed to capture pictures of Layla and Mason. Layla enjoyed him thoroughly and maybe enjoyed all of his baby stuff just as much :-)

Okay, isn't Mason adorable?

Layla pointing and most likely asking, "What's this Momma?"

This is a very common question in our house these days, hee hee!!

Layla is still obsessed with this slide. It has to be the best ten dollar investment ever. We played with it last summer and brought it in for the winter and now have it back outside. And she doesn't seem to mind that her legs are starting to take up the entire slide!

And there you have it, 23 months old.
If at all possible, Layla's second year has flown by even faster than her first....
