Our little Ila is not so little anymore but still pretty little in the grand scheme of things. She is still whistling, still crawling and still super cute. She has the ability and coordination to walk but apparently not the confidence.
We've been exploring food more and more, sleeping 11-12 hours through the night and only nurses 2 times a day now. It looks like we"ll have a weened baby by Ila's first birthday! These days Ila's favorite food seems to be scrambled eggs and she enjoys a cup or two of rice milk throughout the day.
Ila has been communicating quite a bit these days as well. She says "uh oh" every time something falls, she drops something, or hears someone else say it. If you say "oh no!" she'll put her hands on her head (by her ears) and makes the "oh no" face. When sh eplays by herself she usually talks to her stuffed animals (and chews on them!) and "read" books outloud. She knows who her daddy is and points at him and says "Dada." She mimics pretty much everything her daddy does but not so much her mommy. I guess she is used to being around me all day, so I'm not so exciting to mimic!
Today we had Ila's baby dedication and we got to share it with out church family and also her Marma & Poppy, Grandpa & Grandma, Granny, GG, Great Aunt Carol Lea and Uncle Jon & Aunt Telcia/ Ila's Godparents. It was a lovely day and we finished off the celebration with a great meal at Marma and Poppy's (Trent' parents) house!
A great day indeed!
