- She isn't using her highchair anymore. Instead she is sitting in a booster seat pulled up to the table. Coincidentally she is also using her utensils better now and eating more! I think she just likes feeling like a part of the family sitting at the table instead of off to the side!
- I'm no longer rocking her to sleep. We will sit in the chair to read a few stories, then she wants to lay in her "bed" (crib) and I tuck her in. Then I sit on the floor and hold her hand through the bars and read to her until she is asleep. Then I leave and she sleeps there all night! I really hope this continues!
- She knows lots of her colors. Red, blue, yellow, orange, purple, green, pink... I'm sure there are more, but those are her favorites! She is also very in to coloring in coloring books at the moment. "more colors, more colors"
- She is starting to learn to count to 10. She does really good with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. But 1 through 5 give her some issues! We are getting there though and I bet she knows them within a couple of weeks.
- She loves singing songs right now. She will break out in to twinkle twinkle little star all on her own, without any kind of prompting. She can't say all the words so she fills in some parts with "hey hey hey". Its the best and I'm trying hard to catch her doing it and record it!
- She is beginning to put sentences together. She is just starting to learn so its really funny! Example: she wanted some of the banana Gary was eating and said "banana - Lyla - eat" but she said it in Lylaese... "mamma Y-Ya eat". hahaha
- She wants to start helping with getting dressed and undressed. Her latest is that she zips up her footy pajamas at night. And she is SO PROUD of herself when she does it!

Lyla Update - 20 months old
I just wanted to do a post about the things Lyla has been up to lately so that in the future when I try to remember how old she was I will have something to look back on! There have been A LOT of grown up changes in the last couple of weeks!
