my lyla girl,
 these six months with you have flown by. i try not to get sad about how fast you’re growing, but of course i can’t entirely help it.

this is my favorite thing to do. kiss your neck. the harder i do it, the harder you laugh.

your squishy thighs are a big hit around here.

it’s actually a bit funny how often people comment on your juicy little legs.

your one dimple is still the cutest thing i have ever seen. ever!

your 5th month was an exciting one:  you had your first taste of real food, your first round of ‘crying it out’, and your first cold.

you ate like a champ from the very first bite. so far you’ve had rice cereal, avocado, banana, and yort {homemade yogurt}. you love it all, but i’m going to have to modify things as you’ve joined the constipation club, just like your big sisters.

you are nearly crawling. i’m guessing any day now you’ll be doing it full-blown. right now you are able to make your way all around a room by rolling and army crawling. you are unbelievably strong-in my biased opinion

people tell me that you have your own look, but i actually think you are a perfect mix of finley and adalaide.

you love to play in your exersaucer and your favorite toy is sophie la girafe.

you also love your muslin blankies, and you need to have them tucked by your cheek while you sleep.

i love watching you interact with your sisters. you watch them all day long and love when they stop to play with you. they make you laugh so easily-it’s adorable.

lyla scott, you are such a blessing to our family. we love you.

happy half birthday!
