16 month girl!

Our Little Lilah turned 16 months old on the 22nd!  I have so many cute pictures of her that I've taken this month.  It seems like I'm always grabbing the camera so I can catch whatever cute thing she's doing at the moment.  She is so full of personality and life and I swear, she just gets cuter and cuter!!!   Here are some examples... :)

1st little ponytail!  Her hair has gotten so long and blond!

This girl is the best sleeper.  She will grab her binkies and an animal and then I rock her and sing to her for a few minutes.  Then she lays right down in her crib and sleeps so well!  She takes a 2-3 hour nap every day and sleeps about 12 hours at night.  When she wakes up, I can hear her talking and playing (never cries) until I go get her.  Then she smiles so big, hands me her animals, and throws her binkies back in the crib.  So sweet!

She has always loved to dress up, but lately she has a thing for Ethie's underwear (clean, of course).  She will go get it out of his drawer and put it right on her head.  So funny!

She LOVES her Ethie!  She loves to play chase with him, loves when he reads to her, loves to lay on his bed at night while I sing songs, and always climbs up on the couch next to him when he sits.  She calls him "Ee-ee" and it's the cutest thing ever!  She even put her head on his shoulder when I told them to smile :)

Again with the undies on her head and she loves Lucy!  Actually, she loves any animal.  She has no fear and loves when they chase her/lick her/play with her at all.  Fortunately, Lucy is a very patient dog!

Haha, I think Lucy just knocked her down

She loves her accessories :)

Loves Uncle Nate!  (She calls him "Nay")

She loves to dance!  If she hears music, she will stop and then start bopping or twirling.  Cutie!

Again with Lucy :)

She loves her babies!  She usually has some kind of stuffed animal or doll with her always.  She hugs them under her arm and pats them and it's so sweet!

All of a sudden the girl loves baths!  She used to hate them, but now when I ask her if she wants a bath, she says, "Baa!" and runs to the tub.  She loves splashing and bubbles and playing in the tub with Ethie :)

Haha, she will wear anything!  Cutest little gangster ever :)

She loves to feed herself lately and she is good at it!

• The other words she says are: mama, dada, Lilah (when she wants something), Ma-maw (Grandma), more, uh-oh, hi, bye, and I think she says thank-you although I can't be sure :)  She has the cutest little voice, and I love when she says hi and bye to anyone who comes or goes.
• She loves sweets.  It's bad enough that we have to hide anything that looks like cookies/candy/ice cream from her or she will freak out.  I think that is her parents' fault (we also love sugar).
• She stays very busy making messes, especially in the kitchen.
• She loves books and loves to be read to.  She also loves music.
• She wears size 18 month clothes, but she's tall for her age.

Lilah is a sweetheart and we love her!!!
