They Grow Up So Fast!

Our Little Lila Bird is not so little anymore.  My prediction is that she'll be a mountain goat biologist since all she cares about is animals and climbing.

Her vocabulary expands faster than we can even document.  Compared to Lucy she is a bit slower to use words and sentences but is very good at communication in her own way.  Also, the words she can use are pronounced with excellent diction.  These include: "Mil-KKK", "Sippee", "Applesauce", "Peeez (please)", and my favorite "Now".  That last one usually gets added in to most sentences, as in "Sippee now peeez". 

She loves animals of all kinds - she shows little interest in cartoons but put on a nature show and she is captivated.  She also loves jewelry - she almost always has something around her neck or wrist as decor.

Climbing is another (and annoying) pastime.  She loves to go vertical.  Chairs, tables, stools, ect.  Most furniture is at some point tested as a ladder.  This love of climbing also involves her getting stuck, falling, and much more attention from us.     

It is also fun to see how Lucy and her have become friends.  Lucy is most times quite kind and sharing with Lila, and it pleases us greatly as parents to watch Lucy be a great example to her younger sister.
