For a while, Lyla wasn't very interested in her stuffed animals. Now she LOVES them. She sleeps with three of them--Eeyore, Puppy, and Bristow. She puts them all in her arms and wraps them in a big bear hug. They mostly stay in her crib, but once in a while when she wakes up, she insists on carrying them all out of the crib in her little arms.
She calls her paci her "papees". And is far too obsessed with that thing. I am really dreading having to take it away from her, but the more she asks/begs for it, the more I think the time needs to be sooner rather than later.
She used to hate nursery, but it has improved a ton the last few weeks! She has really taken to one of the male nursery workers. One week when we picked her up and I asked the leaders how she did, the leaders told me the following story: They were talking about smiley faces and frowns during the lesson and the person teaching was having them make smiley faces and then frowny faces. They said that Lyla was fine during the smiley faces, but once they started making frowny faces, she burst into tears. haha. We thought it was so funny.
Loves keys. One morning she sat in the driver's seat of my car and demanded "keys!".
Loves Tiger Lily, the kitty next door. When we pull up in the car she will say "llleeellly" (she says her "L's" really well, and it really sounds like their are extra when she says it) or "meow, meow" to go see the cats.
Probably 2 months ago I was counting something in my head out loud and I was saying "one, one, etc" to myself. Then I hear Lyla who I didn't know was listening say "dtwoo". I was so surprised because I had no idea that she would know anything about counting! Now she knows a lot more numbers, and varies in which ones she likes best. For a while two was her favorite and it was the only one she would say. Now she always skips one and two, but I often hear her saying "three, four, five, yay!" to herself. Seven is probably her new favorite number, and sometimes she will count 3,4,5, and then every other with me to 10. When we get to 10 she usually says "yay!" and claps. It is pretty fun to watch her learn.
This girl loves to dance now. A few months ago, she would do absolutely nothing when a good beat would come on, but now she loves to dance and jumping is her favorite. She just recently has started to get some air when she jumps. When she's in her carseat and a song she likes comes on, she will start nodding her head to the beat. We get a kick out of the head banging.
One of her very favorite things is the phone. She loves to talk to Daddy and Grandma, and she also loves to pretend that other objects are phones. This week she used both a pretzel, and a wet, crumpled paper towel as a phone. When she held the paper towel up to her ear I heard her say, "Hi...mmhmm...oquay...byebye".
