New Things All The Time

The reason I started this blog is to help track a lot of the stuff Lila does since I'm not great at writing things down in her baby book.  I'm going to try my best to remember some stuff for this post.

She is a hoot.  She is a brat. She is the sweetest thing you could ever imagine.  :)

My child loves football and basketball.  Since football went on so long for us in Harrisburg, she's still trying to accept that there is no more football and that now it's time for basketball.  Anytime we go to the basketball game she tells us that she wants to go to the football game.  Maybe by February she'll have basketball down.  :)  Lila LOVES to cheer.  I mean LOVES it.  She is obsessed with the cheerleaders.  She is getting pom poms for Christmas.  Her cheerleading uniform is too small this year too so she may also be getting that.  She will be set to go.  Everything is also "Go Capel" at our house.  She even cheers for him when we're watching NFL on TV.  Apparently he didn't tell us he went pro in football.  And it's him because if we tell her it's not, we get yelled at and put in our places.  LOL


Daddy still can't accept that she loves to cheer, but I say whatever!!!

Lila is one of the most loving toddlers I've ever been around.  She loves getting and giving kisses.  I love getting them from here.  The best feeling in the world is when she just grabs my faces and kisses both cheeks and then gives me a big fat one on the lips.  I swear I want a million of them.  Around her second birthday, for the first time ever, she grabbed me and said "I lub you mommy" to me without me having to say it back.  Talk about making you want to cry.  Oh my.  I have never heard sweeter words come from someone's mouth in my life.

Not only is she loving, but she's honestly very very polite.  I don't know where she gets it...LOL...just kidding.  We do teach her manners, no matter what my mom tells you.  She says "thank you", which just in this past week has turned into "thanks" out of nowhere.  We have to get her to say "please" most of the time, but every once in a while she will say it on her own.  She says "cuse me", "bwess you", among others.  We are so proud of her manners.

She loves drinking coffee in the morning with me if we're home together.  Lord help me now.  She's even got her own cup to drink it.


About 3 weeks ago she got her ear's pierced.  She has been asking for earrings since July.  I was hesitant and she knew it was going to hurt, but she took it like a champ.  She hasn't been gung ho on letting me clean them.  And (shame shame shame) I haven't been cleaning them like I should.  Luckily she twists them on her own and I think that helps.  Anyway, she loves them.


You can kinda see them here.  Side note, the lady that got the earrings out of the cabinet grabbed the WRONG ones.  They are a size bigger than the ones that I wanted for her.  Thankfully, they don't look too ridiculous on her.  She's just blingin' a little.  :)
