Love this girl

I'm loving this new stage of toddlerhood!  I will say that we are inching into the terrible twos and I've had some tough days getting used to her new independence but lately when I just give into letting her do more on her own, we are both much happier. 

My daily amazement includes remembering the grocery list for me, singing happy birthday regularly, tattling on momma to daddy, using a screwdriver to help daddy put Lila's crib together, mastering the please and thank you, and regular counting. 

I'm loving our daily rituals of shake your sillies out before bed and regular prayer.  I love hearing her start off the night time prayers with what she's thankful for.  Lately it's been babies and Bella :)

Lila continues the gymnastics in my belly and I'm at the stage where there is no comfortable spot in the house.  I remember wishing we owned a recliner or something!

We took these photos after music/storytime at the library.  She was loving running up hills and back down to momma's arms :).
