20ish months

Lylah turned twenty months earlier this month!! We had a little getaway to the Louisville Zoo during spring break so I guess you could call that our celebration!



We went with our dear friends and their son (one of Lylah's best buddies) and we had a great time! Lylah does indeed love the zoo. Every time we tried to leave one animal to go on to another she would get upset!!! Anyway, the day ended with some splashing which may have been her favorite part!!



We did enjoy our little outing, but we're what we're enjoying even more is all that our lil' lady continues to learn!!! Here's a few things we're seeing:

She knows all of her colors. She loves telling the color of cars driving by or the clothes she is wearing!

She knows most of her letters. I attribute this to her signing and her bathtub letters.

She talks ALL the time, often in multiple word phrases. She loves to copy things we say, we call her an eavesdropper!

She is starting to be interested in counting and can sometimes count to 10 with signing help.

She is feeding herself with a spoon/fork occasionally. She does okay with it, but clean up is of course a little more work!!

She likes to pick her own shoes for some reason.

She has recently started trying to put on pants. She can get them on her legs but can't pull them up yet.

She still loves books. We sit and read books sometimes for complete evenings!! The other day while I was cleaning the bathroom she "read" Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear. She turned each page and said the animal, then said "the end" when she finished! So cute.

She has also taken to singing. Her favorites: The Tractor Song, Jesus Loves Me, and The Wheels On The Bus.

So as you can imagine I'm counting down the days until summer break so I can enjoy more tune with our sweetie!!!
