December. Definitely the fastest month of her life to date. I thought October went by fast, but man... DECEMBER where did you go!?!?!
Lila is 11 months old and cuter and smarter than ever! But of course she is, right!? This month she has mastered crawling and scooting, although she still falls on her belly sometimes when she tries to go fast.. like when she's trying to run away from her dad who is "gonna get her!"
She loves our stairs. She tries to go up them any chance she gets! We have to keep our eyes on her at all times, otherwise she's a sneak and could possibly get hurt! She can crawl up the stairs with our help, and she likes to go down them on her bum. I'm afraid she doesn't realize she will fall if we aren't right behind her. She also likes the hand railings and likes to "help" mom up the stairs. Ha ha!
She has loved Christmas candy this month. (haha only the chocolate covered marshmallows from the rocky roads grandma Carol made us!) But I don't blame her. She's a girl after my own heart :)
Lila is obsessed with Santa and babbles his name if she sees him! It's absolutely adorable! One day we were playing a Christmas song on youtube and there was a picture of Santa on the TV screen and out of the blue (I was nursing her at the moment) she looked over and said SANTA! Drew and I cracked up! It was hilarious!
Lila has loved playing with the presents that have been under our tree. She even started to open one up! It was Drew's, but luckily the gift was in a taco shell box. So that is all Drew saw, haha!
She enjoys copying everything Drew and I do! It's fun. She has to have whatever mom has and has to do whatever mom does. If I'm on my laptop, she wants to push the keys. If I am painting or drawing, she has to help! It's really fun! I love having her around.
She still is terrible at sleeping at night. I hope she can grow out of that soon!! I'm ready for a full night of sleep!! (praying). But she is really good at napping during the day. All I have to do is lay her down in the crib, set the blankets on her, and she smiles and I walk out. Sometimes she'll whine a little bit or talk to herself for a few mintues... but usually she goes down really easy!
Also, another highlight from this month is her love for all things furry or cute! She love to "give loves!" Its a hug that she puts the object up to her neck and she nestles it and says "aaawww." It's so so so cute!!! Our cousin Shay was holding her at Target and she reached for a furry christmas stocking and had to give it loves because she probably thought it was some sort of animal, haha!
She is so loving and so happy. She is so tender and caring and also SOOO FUNNY. Her personality is really shining through more and more each month! She has begun laughing at herself and also says, "tiggle, tiggle, tiggle!" as she attempts to tickle you or any toy/object, or animal. Like when she tries to tickle Max (Drew's dog in Cedar)... hahaha soooo funny and cute!! Can she get any cuter!?
She still nurses a couple times a day, loves to snack on goldfish, eats a banana and oatmeal every morning, absolutely LOVES the little orange cuties, and loves to drink out of my water bottles. She is a big girl after all, you know.
Love you baby girl!!!! Keep being you! You bring sunshine to all!
Love,
Kate
