Our little (big) Lilah is 21 months old today! That's not a very significant month, but I thought I would update on her anyway :)
First of all, her nicknames. Her name is Lilah Raine, but we call her Lilah-loo, Lulu, Lilah Belle, Liley, little Lilah. Ethie has been calling her Lulu lately, so now we all do!
Lilah has started talking so much! All of a sudden, it seems like she can say so many words and she is pretty much always talking (or babbling). Some of her favorite phrases:
"meer" ("come here," which she uses frequently while pulling on our finger), "wah happen?", "eeewww, yutty" ("yucky"), "where go?", "they is!" ("there it is"), "sat?" ("what's that?"), "dah doh" ("there you go"), "shoes on" (countless times a day), "buh doo" ("bless you," which she said after James broke wind the other day, haha!), "saw-ee" ("sorry," which she says a lot and it's cute, but a little bit sad!), "tay tu" ("thank you"), "yuh-yoo" ("love you," my favorite)
Some more favorite words: blanket (which she enunciates very clearly and I think it's funny), eat, please, no, yeah, bye-bye, nigh-nigh, ouchie, swing, baby, shirt, eyes, stars, book, down, flower, sock, paper, okay, happy, YAY!
She also loves to sing and dance! Her favorite songs: Wheels on the Bus, Sunbeam, Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Happy (a Lilah original :)
I just love that she can communicate with us so much! It's also opened up a whole new world of her telling us what she wants and not always getting her way and then throwing a huge temper tantrum! The terrific, tumultuous two's are definitely upon us. I've learned how to walk away and let her finish her fit, since she's pretty unreasonable at those times, but it's still hard to see her so upset. I guess she is a little bit like both of her parents (pretty easy-going until we get mad)!
Fortunately, she is still a sweet, tender, happy, spunky little girl the majority of the time. She still loves her babies, especially real ones!
And she is still loves her beads, shoes, and dress-up clothes (which are usually Ethie's clothes :)
We love our Lilah-girl!!!

| She LOVES to swing. But only in a big swing, and she's pretty good at it! |

...and all this time I thought it was spelled "Lilah Lou" and "Lou Lou", after her mom and great grandmother. What a darling.
