Today Laela and I had the day off. I absolutely love these days! Ro was sad he could not be off too, but we had fun anyway. :) We started out about 7:00 and we have accomplished so much!
Breakfast with daddy, bathtime, and a breathing treatment were first on our list. WOW! After all that, Laela ran laps around the kitchen with her grocery cart and tried to fit her butt into her baby stroller!
Time to cool down a little, so we watched her
words video. She is getting really good at seeing the words and saying it or making the animal sound. Like this one...
she saw "monkey" and looked at me to say "who, who, who". She even participated in the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes song...(DARN! I recorded vertically again and I can't change it for the blog. Sorry...please turn your monitor sideways.)
Laela and I finished getting ready and headed out for the day. We had to stop at Target on our way to lunch. What great bargains I found! Then I was driving off and had a horrible feeling that I lost my wallet. I quickly pulled over and confirmed my thoughts. I turned the car around, grabbed Laela and we went back inside. Thank God! Someone found my wallet in the parking lot and returned it. YEA! I just don't know what I would have done if I really lost my wallet.
We got to meet Granna, Aunt Karri, Mik and Mak for lunch too. Our usual girl's eating spot is Red Lobster, but we changed it so Gramps would join. At the last minute, he could not make it. We were sad he did not join us, but we enjoyed Olive Garden!
After lunch, we went back home so Laela could nap and I ran. YEA for napping and running. After the princess awoke, we headed to the outlet mall for some fresh air (and a new shirt for Laela, mommy, and daddy). We headed home to cook dinner and Ro got home a little early. It was such a beautiful day, he wanted to go for a jog with Laela and Allie Mae. All three of them had a great time!
Dinner time was hysterical! When Laela eats a banana, she typically has to hold the whole banana and she takes gigantic bites (only finishing about half). Well...tonight...she ate the whole banana with a FORK! HA! Like mother like daughter. I love eating bananas with a fork!
We finished off the evening with a bowling and then off to bed with a sweet night-night story.
Yes...those are rainboots that she is wearing with her night-night clothes. HA! She loves them as much as I do. :)
One of our favorites...
I too, will be in bed soon! Sweet dreams and back to work tomorrow.
Then we came inside to do a little bowling. Mikaila was learning how to use the three holes in the ball while Laela was still understanding that you are supposed to use the ball to knock down the pins. She did understand that the pins had to be set up each time and she was a great helper with that!
Laela ran around the house like a wild child and took out every toy. I am not quite sure what she was thinking but she had several plans and she told us about them too. 
Finally, it was dinner and bath time, why not a bubble bath with Mikaila? This was Laela's first bubble bath! She really was not quite sure about the bubbles. It was pretty funny!
Except for Laela not falling asleep until almost 8:00, the night was fantastic!
We were not surprised by any of these stats. We see her growing everyday. Actually, she has only gained 2 lbs in 3 months and she has grown 2 inches in length. Everyday I feel like she gets taller. Just this morning, her Nanna asked if she got taller last night while she was sleeping. SERIOUSLY! She seems like such a big girl these days. The doctor asked us many questions about what she is doing. Kicking a ball, running, talking, etc. She seems to have advanced social/verbal skills, so that is great! We were a little concerned about her eating habits still, but the doctor said she is fine. She will need to continue to try many types of table foods, with options given at each meal. Also, her spoon/fork use will continue to improve and be independent by 2 years old. Also, we are making the switch to 2% milk because she really doesn't need whole milk right now. As you saw from her stats, she is healthy enough..
