Prizefighter

Now, no-one freak out.This was the day Lyla had her first bleeding injury. She fell and hit her mouth while trying to stand up with a box in our living room. When it happened, of course I was the concerned and cautious mother and didn't stop to take a picture even though I wanted to. Her gum was cut but it looked like it would heal up fine. But when it started bleeding again in the bath that night and she obviously didn't mind, I had to take advantage of it and get some great pictures!

Toothy Grin

I've been trying to get a good picture of Lyla Mae's cute teeth. It's harder than one would imagine. Here's the best one so far. I love the gap in the front!

Swimming!

Here's a video of Lyla in the pool at our resort in the Dominican Republic. We bought the floatie from a vendor on the beach for a few dollars. She LOVED the water! You can hear her funny gasping laugh in this video.

It's True What They Say...

Kids love the wrapping paper and boxes better than the presents.

Here's Lyla with her favorite remnant of Christmas. My favorite part is her arm flapping :)

Biking Duo

Here we are on our inaugural ride with the presents Jared gave us for Christmas!

(I got the bike seat, Lyla got the little helmet!)

We had so much fun, this will definitely become a family pastime :)

Standing Practice

Written by mrsleahdavis on January 9, 2010

This video is a little old - it's before Lyla could actually pull herself up to standing - but she loved it when I would stand her up nonetheless :) Now she can pull up on this box all by herself!

Crawling!

Lyla performed her first official crawl in the Dominican Republic. I love how you can hear my entire family commentating in the background of this video!

Big Stander

Lyla is getting really good at standing up. She can stand in front of the mirror and talk to herself endlessly :)

Christmas Tree Lighting

Written by mrsleahdavis on January 3, 2010

We walked down to a Christmas tree lighting in Golden Gate Park. Apparently this was the 80th annual lighting of this particular tree. It was quite a production, with a live band, cookie decorating booth, hot cider, and appearance by the mayor.

Lyla wasn't that impressed. She was cold and tired, but we made her stay until the tree was lit :) Maybe she'll like it more next year.
