Just watched this today and am inspired to start working on another one from this past summer's footage...

Smarty Pants
Ila learned this over the summer, but I finally got a good video of it this morning. You'll see how hard it is to record her doing anything without her wanting to LOOK!

You Can Pick Your Friends And You Can Pick Your Nose, But You Can't Pick Your Friends' . . . Apples.
This past Thursday, Blair and her sister Kara came to visit for the day! We went to Carter's Mountain to pick apples (and of course we brought home a little pumpkin and some of their famous doughnuts). 
Where's Kate?

What She Said Today
* At the park today with Daddy when she saw a squirrel: "Ahhhaaa! Look at that squirrel (fwirrel)!"
Ross: Yes that's a squirrel
Ila: What's he doin over there?"
Ross: "What do you think he's doing?"
Ila: "He's eatin some nuts."
* When they got back from the park I told Ila that dinner was ready and she gave me a very sincere-sounding "THANKS Mommy." Throughout dinner she repeatedly thanked me for the dinner and even said "I really LIKE this Mommy. Thanks Mommy" and "Yo mama, this food ROCKS!" (Ross had taught her that one a few days ago I think). I asked him if this means she's going to be a terrible teenager because she is so sweet at age 2!
I wish I could get some of this on video because her tone is hilarious! Whenever she sees I am videoing with my phone she runs over immediately saying "look look" ... and that's always the end of the videos.

She's A Talker
It's a bit shocking to realize I can have actual conversations with our newly 2 year old. She is now speaking mostly in complete sentences, often which take me by surprise even though I know she is a good talker. I keep meaning to write down some funny moments/ conversations so here goes...
* The other night we were sitting at dinner and Ila was being pretty cranky and not eating very well. Then she turns to me and says very enthusiastically "Sooo Mommy, how was your day?!" with a huge grin on her face. Ross and I stared at each other for a full 30 seconds before bursting in laughter. I couldn't even answer I was so shocked.
* Yesterday we were in the car at a red light and Ila was watching some kids in the skatepark and she said "Mommy what they doing?:
me: "They're skateboarding."
ila: "Ila do that too?"
me: "Not today, but maybe when you're older."
ila: "I want to do that too. Maybe nother day."
me: "Daddy can teach you when you're older."
ila: "yeah, Daddy teach me."
*When I tuck Ila in at night we pray together then lately I've been saying "No 'Mommy Mommy'" meaning "Don't yell for mommy in the middle of the night". (She's been doing that lately). So the other day she was pretending to tuck her doll babies into their little crib and after praying "Dear Jesus, thank you mommy daddy, flowers, squirrels, amen" she said to her baby "No 'Ila Ila'" as she tucked her in! I was so amazed that she could conceptualize saying her name instead of Mommy. Or maybe that's normal - I don't know -but i was impressed!
That's all I can think of now, but I'll try to write more down!
