Layla's half birthday is June 29th. We celebrated with a trip to urgent care because Daddy was convinced she had Lyme disease. Turns out she just had a delayed allergic reaction to a bug bite and that the PhD behind Daddy's name doesn't make him a medial professional. ;o)
So much has changed in the last 6 months! L is now completely potty trained, although we do have some accidents still in the car and at nap (still in a diaper at bedtime). She's in a big girl bed and LOVES it! She loves to sleep in (thank GOD!) and when I walk in in the morning and she's not ready, she tells me "Mommy, get out" and points to the door. LOL
I know every parent says this but L has the BEST personality. She makes us laugh all the time and always asks us "is that silly?". Her speech is right on target for 2 1/2 (finally caught up!) and her motor skills are still crazy good. She's climbing and jumping off of things, almost during somersaults on her own and loves to run around the house like a wild women. She thinks sunglasses make her invisible...and this is why I love her.
Layla is also doing much better with eating, although it is still a battle there typically are no tears when it is time to eat. We spend almost an hour EVERY meal time at the table convincing her to eat but she will do it. She gets bribed with chocolate and her toys...something that is going to have to go away soon (Lord help us)!
Layla loves to have "dance parties", ice cream cones and her stuffed animals. She loves to read, her favorite movie is still Lion King and her favorite song is "happy birthday". She loves to practice her ABCs and can identify all upper case letters. She can count to 10 with help and can identify all her colors.
We always knew we were in trouble with the attitude...but the dramatists are getting worse. Even the tinniest thing can set her off and we are kicking and screaming on the floor. Thankfully she doesn't act like this in public. Layla spends a lot of time in time out for not listening, throwing a fit when she doesn't get her way and hitting or bossing the dogs.
Here are a few pictures of L in the last week:
Helping Daddy paint the porch. Yes...we are insane! She actually did really well! There wasn't a single drop on her but she did get LOTS on the floor, wall outlets and Oscar.
Helping Mommy get more paint at Home Depot. Ring Pops are a serious life saver when I'm trying to get something done and I need L to be good. What's better than loading up a toddler with sugar while running errands?!
Layla LOVES this monkey she got from her Grandma and Grandpa U. They are best buds! LOL
And she's finally getting the hang of her Cozie Coupe. This makes for a long trip to get the mail each day. Fast forward to about 1:10 to see the good stuff!
I can't wait to see how L changes in the next 6 months and how she takes on her role as "Big Sis"!!!
