Happy Birthday Lila!!!!!!!!!!

This past year has gone so fast, I can't believe that we now have a 1 year old.  Lila has changed so much in the last 12 months.  She went from a helpless little being to a very sassy toddler that is walking, signing, and starting to talk.  



A look at Lila during her 1st year!

We had a great birthday weekend, celebrated with friends and family.

The Day started with a family breakfast at Ohana!



After breakfast, we got ready for Lila's party!

Lila had a great time at her party!

I think she liked the cake!  She went right in!







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...
