Oh man, Lyla has 2 molars coming out. She is miserable. She does not sleep because it is bothering her so much. I am doing everything that I can to keep her comfortable.
Sleep
That brings me to the topic of sleeping. I kept on with the "sleeping on her crib" training. She is doing very well going to sleep, even by herself and at a much earlier time (8:30 compared to 10 before). However, she has a hard time staying asleep. She is up around 11 pm, takes another 30 min to calm her down, then 2 am again, then 5 am... OMG, it is like torture having to wake up every 2 hours. I look like a dead woman walking during the day. I am counting my blessings, one month ago she would not even stay in her crib, now she sleeps at least 1/2 nigh there and it is taking all the naps there. I am blaming on teething, but she has never been a great sleeper to begin with but now it is just so bad. The sleeping saga goes on , with progress, but still not perfect
Bottle
That was a second fight I was dreading. My plan was to get the sleeping thing going and then take her bottle. She was taken her bottle just to sleep and early morning and she loves it! 3 nights ago, she had her sip cup , she took the milk from it , slept and has not asked for a bottle since then. She did all by herself.
Summer fun
Lyla ad I are loving "summer". We have been to the pool twice and she loves it. I enroll her at kindermusik class, she also loved it. We are enjoying some play time outside after dinner. I love the sun, I feel alive again!
toddler hood
My baby is not a baby anymore... :( she is busy little girl, walking , exploring, playing, dancing... She loves the kitchen and bathroom. It is so hard to keep her out there LOL. She is into open door cabinets, and getting all her clothes and blankets out... cute and annoying at the same time. It is fun to tell her to go get something and she understands it. I ask for a kiss and she gives me the kiss that melts my heart . She is not talking much, but can express herself very well. She can say a few words in each one of the 3 languages she is listen everyday. She is still very outgoing, goes to everybody, smiles and waves to everybody. She eats like a champ. Her new favorites: water melon and corn in a co.b She loves using her little fork to eat all alone. She uses her left hand. Wonder pets is her favorite cartoon, and she loves Moose a Moose. She is now 14 months and 26 pounds!!!
Car
Ins gave total loss to my car, more later

I'm glad you're enjoying the nice weather and having so much fun together. I hope the sleeping straightens itself out soon! It almost sounds like having a newborn in the house, how exhausting!
WOW--they are growing up too fast!!! God job on the sleeping thing, she WILL get it, I promise. I bet a lot of it is teething and she's waking up b/c she's so uncomfortable. Yeah on the no bottles anymore...that is the last thing on my mind to take away from Claire--just recently she's taking it without a fight! I laugh reading your post about toddlerhood--the pulling everything out of the cabinents and using her fork--she is so much like Claire...I know they'd be the best of friends ( :
I don't know how long you let her fuss at night, but I found that my girl would go back to sleep if I didn't rush in at every noise she made. I would also tell her (during the day) that she should go right back to sleep if she woke up in the night. My husband thought I was crazy and that she didn't understand, but you'd be surprised at how well they get what you're telling them.
She looks like she's having such fun in the pool. I hope you two enjoy the summer as much all the way through! I also hope her teeth finish growing in soon.
I love the pool pics, they are os darling!!! These girls are getting way too big!
I hope teething ends for y'all soon! Brooklyn is getting her bottom molars now too and I HATE IT!
Love her swimsuit and love her hair up in pig tails!
Willow did the same thing with the bottle/sippy cup issue. I thought there would be a fight for the bottle, but she stopped and went for the sippy on her own.
I love being able to do things with her and have her understand...we are just on the edge of all that.
Hope the sleeping gets resolved soon!
I love the pig tails. Lately all the little girls in Mason's room have started wearing pig tails just like hers and they are so adorable!
Go Lyla! Teething is dreadfully awful. MT is getting those molars too .. all 4 it's miserable for baby and momma. We aren't sleeping much here either. Hang in there.
YAH for the car insurance
QUE LINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOO cute!! and you're so lucky on the bottle thing! it only took two days of crying for piper not to ask for it anymore but she still won't drink her milk from a cup!
Oh, she's gorgeous!!
As for the sleep... I can totally relate, but I have a newborn at home... I had forgotten how miserable it is to go on without sleep!
But, this too shall pass!
You're making progress. Soon enough she'll be sleeping through the night. And in no time we'll be having a hard time getting those teens out of bed to school!
Good luck with the crib training. Sleep loss is never fun. Sorry about those pesky molars, too.
Oh my! Look at those chubby cheeks.
I'm glad to hear she's sleeping better. Hard enough with two of us here, and always a hassle to try and fix it. (I have given up with the fixing!)
