Little tidbits about our family: Matt, Alicia, Lyla, Hayden and Ella

Almost 11 months and already walking!

Yes you saw it right, Lyla is walking! She was taking 1-2 steps at a time a couple weeks ago but on Valentine's Day, she started walking 5+ steps at a time. Grandma Knox was there to witness her first steps on her own but Grandma and Grandpa Brown also saw her a little later. Now I think bumps and bruises will be around for a while!

Grandma Knox came to visit last weekend! My parents are winter birds and travel to Arizona Jan-March. My mom couldn't go without seeing Lyla for 3 months so she got good plane tickets to make this one of her stops. We were happy to see her (and got some shopping done too)!

Grandma Knox and Lyla on Valentine's Day


Lyla continues to be a curious little girl and such a joy.




  • Last week I was vacuuming the first floor and she followed right behind me with her shopping cart. I couldn't turn around without running into her. I truly think she thought she was helping me vacuum. It was so cute! I laughed the whole time!


  • I always put one of her pacifiers in her car seat along with her blanket, bunny and jacket. She just figured out that her pacifier is always in there and continues to take everything out of the car seat to get it.


  • When she hears any music she likes, she will start dancing. She will just start smiling, bob her head and start dancing. I will have to get this on video!

I love my giraffe!
I finally took pictures of the house! Sorry for the long delay.

Backyard...if you look really closely you can see a deer. It's funny that it stays in the same spot!


We do actually have deer that come right to the house every night! Lyla likes to babble to them and Ella barks. We thought we had it good that we could see them at the other house but now we see them more. You know that makes Matt happy.

Grandma Knox's OR Auntie Kristi's bedroom (it depends who is here for the weekend)


The upstairs is not easy to take pictures of but we have 3 bedrooms and the office. You will just have to come and see for yourself!




Matt and I just found a dining room table and china cabinet this weekend. It's supposed to come in the beginning of March but we will see. We just hope it's in by Lyla's 1st birthday party! Invites are getting sent out soon (as long as Lyla allows me some time).






Have a great week!
