I'm the worst blogger ever . . .

I used to be good at this- I swear! Remember all the timely posts when we were in London?? While those days have gone and I have become lazy with updating the blog. I think about writing a post every few days and then motherhood interrups and I don't write anything. I have also become a bit addicted to a little internet wonder called Facebook. For those of you who also use facebook, you understand .

Too much time has passed and the baby is growing into a little person. She's always smiling and is busy as a bee. She has learned many new tricks, which this first-time mommy thinks are amazing (you may find them a little silly- but that's OK). Here are some of my favorites-

*Sitting up- this is a big one! I am amazed at how this skill emerged out of nowhere. I kept putting her down and she kept toppling over. Then one day (like magic) she stayed up. Now she sits straight as an arrow, even on the floor. So very cute!

* Eating, eating, eating- Lila is not a picky eater. Since her first bite of rice cereal she has opened her mouth like a champ and even added sound effects- Mmmmmmm , Ummmmmmmm. You just have to hear it to appreciate it- it's adorable.

* Becoming part Beaver- that's right, I am convinced my child is 50% beaver, 50% little girl. She chews on everything. Anything and everything goes in her mouth and she dives at toys, blankets, pillows, etc with her mouth open. She got her first 2 teeth in December and the chewing did not stop, so it can't be only teething. Her other beaver trait is her tail- let me explain before you all think I'm nuts. When she's in her crib she picks up both legs and slams them down- like a beaver tail. The first time we heard this noise we had no idea what it was- it's really loud over the monitor. Once I crept into her room in the dark to investigate, I saw her thumping with her legs. This is one of her signature moves- a Lila-ism for sure.

We're officially back on track with blogging. Check back soon for pictures from our Florida adventure!!
