My sweet babies
Timothy still loves posing for pictures with Lyla - he woke up from a nap the other day and said, "Mommy, get your camera. I'll hold sistuh and you take our picture!" These are the moments that get me through, well, the other moments. Heehee!
And... they're done!

Lyla's birthday luau
We had a little party to celebrate Lyla's birthday on Saturday. I was kicking around different theme ideas (cupcakes, owls, hello kitty), but I happened across a box full of luau decorations (my old roommate, Kelly, and I used to throw luaus all the time), so I figured that'd be perfect! We had quite a few people here, and boy, does this house lend itself to parties! Everyone enjoyed the pool, and we had cake and hot dogs and fruit. A fun time was had by all!

Lyla's birthday
Since Lyla's birthday was on a Wednesday, we just had a little family celebration that day. We went to Bento Box for dinner (Timothy's choice), and then Lyla got her very first cupcake from Icing on the Cupcake. Yum!
Happy birthday, babydoll!
Happy birthday, babydoll!

Lyla Mae is 1!!!!!
Oh, wow - I just can't believe my tiny little girl is already 1! It truly does feel like just yesterday that she was itty bitty. This year has just flown by! Here are her 1-year stats:
Weight: 17lbs 10ozs
Length: 28"
She continues to be vocal and opinionated (obviously, she gets this from Billy!), and is getting closer to walking. She can stand without holding onto something for a few seconds, but she doesn't appear to be interested in taking steps yet. Her two front teeth have finally erupted, too, after many nights of restlessness and discomfort, poor kid. She's been grinding the top and bottom teeth, though, which is just not a pleasant sound!!
Timothy is still her absolute favorite person, and she greatly enjoys getting into (and destroying) anything and everything he's playing with. Seeing the two of them standing side by side at the play kitchen is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!
(And I have a new-found respect for my friend Becky - trying to photograph a wiggly toddler is HARD!)

Lyla Mae, 11 months old
With all the excitement (read: chaos) of the move, I've been neglecting this poor blog! Better late than never, though, right? So, here's my sweet little girl at 11 months:
She's super mobile and verbal these days. She can crawl pretty fast, and she's also learned to pull herself up to standing and cruise the furniture. She is very vocal and has learned quite a few signs with which to communicate. She's also curious as all get-out, and is driving her brother a bit batty, since she can now get into his stuff. He's still very sweet with her, for the most part, though - he's such a good big brother!
I just can't believe 1 is right around the corner. *sigh*
