Don't Jump On Cats

Parents always think they know best. Do this, do that. Don't do this, don't do that. Ya know what? Sometimes they're right. Mommy told me not to jump on the cat but he's so fuzzy and cute and cuddly I couldn't resist.
Owwww! Waaaah!!! I will not be doing that again.

Hmm...
He is cute though.
And he looks lonely.
Maybe just a little hug for kitty. Don't worry mom I know what I'm doing.

spaghetti night

It finally warmed up to just enough that we could play outside today. It has been a very cold and snowy winter. Lyla points out the window at her play set and begs to go play.

Lyla just can't resist Diggity's water bowl. She must have decided Diggy's food was a little too dry, and wanted to help her out.

Groundhog's day

How ironic? Lyla decided to play with her shadow on Groundhog's day. I heard her talking and look over just in time to see her give her shadow a big kiss.

14 months

Our little sass is growing up way to fast. At 14 months "sugar and spice" describes you so well. You can be so sassy and independent. You also need your down time with lots of cuddles. Everyone loves the long hugs you give, and you have even started giving the occasional kiss.

When we say "I'm gonna get you" you squeal and start crawling away as fast as possible. You have taken up to 8 steps, but now it seems like you have decided against walking. You prefer to hold on to something while walking or just crawl. Your favorite song is "If you happy and you know it." When we start sing it, you start clapping (you also do stomp your feet).
