In Which Laelia Answers, "Ya!" And Makes Us Laugh!

In Which Laelia Enjoys The Swing

In Which Mommy And Laelia "Swim" In Beaver Lake.

Listen carefully for her to respond to Mia asking if she's having fun...she whispers her answer, "Ya," because I whispered to her, "Say 'ya'."!

She wants to ski!

A New Tooth!

Well, just a quick update...Laelia's 3rd tooth arrived today, her first up top, and it snuck in without me realizing, because I kept checking the bottom! She's no longer the two-toothed wonder.

Let's see, what else is new...She stands on her own for quite a while now, often clapping for herself! She loves to walk all around the room via the furniture, but has only taken single steps completely alone, and even then not that often.

She loves to try on my engagement ring, and promptly gives it back. She's very good at sharing as long as she keeps getting the item back when she asks for it. And she signs, "please," for everything, and is starting to realize that just saying please doesn't me she gets everything she asks for! Anyways, she holds up her pointer finger and I slip the ring on, then she says, "Wow," and takes it off carefully to hand it back to me. This goes on about 10 times before she started shaking her hand all around trying to throw it on the ground.

Speaking of throwing things, she LOVES to throw Rekawae's toys for her. And she throws them down with enthusiasm...the only problem is they land right at her feet where Rekawae dropped them off to begin with, but the dog is picking up on the fact that the girl will be a fun playmate!

Less than two weeks now until the big ONE! Stay tuned for some videos soon!

We finally gave her a bowl full of food and a spoon...

One Laelia. One bowl of sweet potatoes. One spoon. Lots of fun and then one bath.

"So, you're really giving me control? Excellent."
"Yeah, I'm watching you too."

"I think I could get used to this."

"Yep, I'm figuring it out."

"I can eat off my fingers, too!"

"Ok, you put the silver end into the bowl, right?"

"Mmmm, tasty!"

"It's all over me and it's sticky!"

"Hah! This is fun!"

"Ohhhh, I'm messy!"

Such a smile-y girl!

I don't have much to say tonight, but just wanted to share the lovely smile on my girl. She smiles so much now, finding joy in everything! This smile is all about freedom from those pesky straps in the carseat!
