Videos not Photos

Since our camera broke down on Halloween, we have yet to take it to Best Buy for service (we have a warranty plan with them). We typically choose to just wait until we get so impatient we buy another one, so I presume that is what will happen with this as well. Therefore, I have tried my best to film Lyla in the absence of our camera. She wasn't having it for a while... every time she saw us with the vid, she would get very impatient and upset that it wasn't in her hands and she wasn't playing with it. However, she's warming up to being on camera again.

Lyla has surely taken a liking to music. She loves nursery rhyme songs, and acts them all out. She loves the "I'm a little teapot..." she really only does the "tip me over" gesture, but it's still pretty cute. I taught her a little Beethoven, and she has been really good about repeating the sounds, even on key. She gets better and better. I put the video on here with her repeating, but the repeat from her is very quiet, so you really need to turn it up to hear it.

I'm obsessed with hats for Lyla, and she hates most of them. On rare occasions, she'll let me put one on and she'll keep it on. This day, (below) she was so Audrey Hepburn in her skinny blacks and turtleneck, that I thought a beret was in order. She rolled with it. I'm all about the berets. Trouble is, they fall in her eyes a lot, so it ends up being a pain in the arse any way you look at it. Doesn't stop me though.



Christmas came early at the Walter household. We got Lyla a big old wood kitchen, and because it was so big, we had to just put it together (we, meaning Trent), and get in there. Lyla loves it. She's constantly whipping up food, and offering it to anyone who will taste. She's quite good at the mixing, not so fond of doing the dishes though. Must take after Dad. We spend a lot of time there now, and honestly, I like it as much as Lyla. I also put a vid of us in the kitchen, and the rounds we do in feeding multiple babies and ourselves with Lyla's cooking.
