Play Room

We recently made our dining room into a play room for Lila (since we never used it).  She seems to enjoy spending time in there. 

Here is Lila practicing her walking! 

Communication

We have been doing sign language with Lila since she was a few months old.  When she is in the mood, she is starting to use it.  She can now sign milk, more, eat, dog, all-done, and please.  This morning she went over to her stroller and clearly said go and than did the sign for dog.  I asked her to say please, and she did the sign.   Amazing!  So we took Ella for a walk.

11 Months!

Lila is 11 months today!  I can't believe that in one more month she will be a year old!

Also here is a short clip of Lila taking a few steps!

Cincinnati Trip

We went to Cincinnati to visit Tom's brother Mike and his family.  We had a great time and here are some of our adventures...

Being silly

I was playing with the settings on the camera the other day while Lila was eating a very messy teething cookie!

New Skills

Lila is learning new things almost everyday.  She can climb the stairs (she has been doing this for a few weeks, but I just got it on video), she has learned how to play peek-a-boo with her hands, and started to walk with a push toy.  Enjoy!

Busy Week

This past week was a busy week.  There was something to do almost everyday.  We went to lunch for Thaty's birthday, went to Tiny Tales at the library,  had a playdate in celebration, and went to a party for Eileen's birthday!
