Lyla's photoshoot

My good friend Julie took all these adorable pictures of Lyla. Lyla is now 14 months old and she is just the cutest thing there is! Here are some fun/cute things about lyla as of late:
She makes cute animale sounds when you ask her what does a lion,doggie, kitty cat and cow say

When Troy is unlocking the door she yells daddy!

Always says hi and bye to everyone

she really likes to growl

very curious and loves to climb

she will give you a kiss when you ask her to

When i say lets go outside she runs to the back to door, when i say lets go bye bye she knows to go to the garage door and when i say lets change your diaper she runs to her room

when i start singing "popcorn popping" or "itsy bitsy spider" she knows some of the hand motions

new words in her vocabulary: outside, pretty, please, eye, no, bubbles, books (of course she says them in her own language but i wouldnt know how to spell it out)

she loves being outside and eating rocks which is a big no no

she loves the shows calliou and sesame street and LOVES her sing along videos

when music comes on she'll dance

when she goes down the slide or is swinging on a swing she'll say "weeeee"

she now only takes one bottle a day right before she goes to bed

When she is supposed to be sleeping and she is playing in her crib I come in the room and she hurry's and lays down and closes her eyes and pretends shes sleeping and she always has a big smile when shes doing it

she has 8 teeth and her fangs should be breaking through soon

still not sleeping through the night, only sometimes which im pretty much dying from lack of sleep!

she loves to be read to even though she will only sit on your lap for 30 sec, she also loves just sitting on the floor and goes through all her books

she pretty much is the cutest thing and we just love her sooooo much!!!
