Ayla's 19th Month

Ayla Rose is 19 months. Oh how the time flies.

Her obsession with putting swimsuits on changed to an obsession with putting clothes on. She likes to try to get dressed all by her self. *skirt pulled half way up her legs and shirt hanging on her arm.

We visited Trent and met his staff for the first time during Ayla's 19th month.

For my birthday the kids got new matching carseats- thanks Kaeme!

I took the kids and Trent out to Maclay Gardens to show them where I spent every afternoon during high school.  No one was out rowing, but they did get to see the boats and the lake.

And the playground!

Trent pushed the kids while on a conference call. 

She loves to cheese it up for the camera especially while happily swinging.

They were very intrigued by the lake.

And the floating dock.

We like to spend hot afternoons outside with the water hose.

Or at the splash pad. The kids had a blast playing with Cheyenne and Berkeley over Labor Day weekend.

We love living close enough to Trent's work that we can walk over to say, "hi!" or in this case, get a spare key after locking mine in the car.

Ayla loves to play dress up with shoes, bows and tutus. Such a girly girl.

Here she is saying, "cheese!" again for the camera without prompt.

Ayla really enjoyed potty training! I, on the other hand, hate cleaning up pee all day so I usually keep a diaper strapped to her bum. Although, I must admit, she is pretty good at doing her business on the potty.

We took one outing with big girl panties, but unfortunately it didn't go over very well and we haven't tried it again since!
